You can swap between your four gun modes (electric, fire, ice, and acid) with the D-Pad and melee by pressing R2 without aiming. The game controls like you’d expect a modern third person shooter to control Move with the left stick, aim with L2, and shoot with R2. You shoot some things for about 6 hours and then the credits roll. The gunplay is serviceable, the puzzles are incredibly easy – it’s not a good sign when halfway through the game you get an achievement saying you’ve solved all puzzles – and the story feels generic. ![]() In practice, however, Scars Above doesn’t have anything particularly interesting or exceptional to it it’s perfectly average. As the scientist protagonist and part of the SCARS team, Kate Ward, you battle monsters and solve puzzles using your elemental gun while being guided by a strange alien apparition. The pitch is a sci-fi action adventure and third person shooter taking place on an alien world. For whatever reasons, Scars Above sadly falls into that category. Not just because I have to play an uninteresting game, but also because the developers behind the title don’t get to realize their vision properly – and they usually only get one shot. It’s always depressing when a work with interesting ideas behind it ends up not fulfilling that potential.
