Scathe - Review (PC)
34I honestly wish Scathe gelled with me. The more complex levels, the creative and powerful weapons, the gruesome yet attractive visuals, and the thumping soundtrack – all these elements deserve praise. However, the variable level quality, over-reliance on boring arena battles, tedious backtracking, repetitive commentary, and lack of guided progression began to wear me down after half-dozen hours. In such a crowded genre, with such a high bar, Scathe needed to nail the quality of each combat encounter before creating dozens of levels, a massive roster of hit-and-miss demons, and endless wave-based roadblocks. As a result, what should be the core of the experience often feels like the least thoughtful and polished element. Combat is suitably relentless but lacks restraint, throwing everything at you with little sense of variation or evolution over time.
