Review: Scott Pilgrim EX Feels Even More Like River City Ransom

Scott Pilgrim EX is a 2D beat 'em up that strongly resembles River City Ransom and Streets of Rage, featuring side-scrolling stages and cooperative multiplayer. While the gameplay mechanics are tight and the artistic direction and soundtrack are praised, the story and characterizations feel less true to the source material, and some preferred characters are not playable. The game is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, though some launch bugs affecting multiplayer were noted.
