"For many readers, the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels were a cultural touchpoint, a story about emotional immaturity, growing as a person and ultimately defeating youthful arrogance. Having cemented itself as a cult classic with an Edgar Wright movie, a 2010 tie-in game and a Netflix miniseries, it's now back in the form of a raucous action-adventure game, Scott Pilgrim EX."
"Having established themselves as beat 'em up revivalists with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Invasion, the team has stepped up for another crack at this essential coming-of-age tale. Scott Pilgrim EX feels like a passion project, so they have the Powers of Love and Understanding on their side."
"Though the pop culture locus has moved on from mall goths and arcade gaming, Scott Pilgrim EX is nostalgic about nostalgia, and endlessly referential. Does it feel cool to understand pastiches of everything from Super Mario Bros 3 scenery to Resident Evil's Raccoon police department? Yes, but the experience of play is still fun if you don't."
Scott Pilgrim EX is a new action-adventure game developed by Tribute Games, the studio behind the acclaimed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. The game follows Scott and his companions through Toronto as they battle to recover their bandmates and instruments before a crucial performance. The narrative involves reality-bending portals and various gangs including demons, robots, and vegans. The game is heavily nostalgic, filled with pop culture references ranging from Super Mario Bros 3 to Resident Evil. Tribute Games, founded by former Ubisoft employees who worked on the original 2010 Scott Pilgrim game, has positioned this as a passion project that captures the essence of the beloved graphic novel series while delivering engaging beat 'em up gameplay.
