Scars Above | Chapter 2: "The Fallen" (First Playthrough)
1"Scars Above" is a third person sci-fi shooter with elemental weapon swapping and soulslike elements. It's not for everyone, and it's quite rough and janky in places, but it's also very clearly an AA game with an AA price tag and the demo was enough of a draw to get me to purchase the whole game on release.
We play as Kate Ward, a scientist and member of a team put together to make first contact with a giant alien monolith that has appeared in space. As they attempted this, things begin to go wrong.
From the trailers, a lot of people seem to think the game is a "Returnal" knock-off. It isn't. In fact, it really doesn't share much at all with that game save for the "crashed on an alien planet" trope, which isn't exactly uncommon in the genre.

NOTES:
►I have a high tolerance for what others might consider 'bad' graphics and animations.
►The game had an update inbetween episode 01 and 02. I think it was to change the executable, as it was originally a debug version apparently. It worked, regardless.
