I had confused feelings after completing Scarlet Nexus. The game has excellent graphics that give the impression you are watching an anime at all times. The art style and atmosphere in the game are great featuring a futuristic urban/metropolis feel. Gameplay is solid featuring ranged combat (beat the game in the Kasane route) with interesting telekinesis mechanics where you use the environment to hurt enemies. Interesting mechanic with party members to active different skills and attacks that have different effects and need to be strategized with different types of enemies and bosses. I prefer action based combat systems so this was a plus.

With all that being said, the game had great ingredients to make an excellent jRPG but I ended up feeling that it was simply "good" and not excellent. Something about the story didn't fulfill me and especially the characters felt somewhat dull despite good voice acting and scripting. The bond between characters and world-building was simply not up to par and ended up affecting my overall enjoyment.

Overall a solid jRPG but I was anticipating for a greater and better experience.
