Scarlet Nexus in the preview: Disappointing, lifeless and worn out - is this the next-gen of the JRPGs?

Scarlet Nexus in the preview

We look back together: At the "Inside Xbox" event, the digital version of Microsoft's usual E3 press conference, the well-known game manufacturer Bandai Namco announced the brand new "Brainpunk" IP Scarlet Nexus for next-gen consoles and PCs in summer 2020 , PS4 and Xbox One. With Scarlet Nexus, the in-house Bandai studio, founded in 2012 and stationed in Tokyo, takes us to the cyberpunk metropolis New Himuka, which offers an exciting "brain-eco-system". In the huge city, all individuals are connected to one another through the human brain, resulting in an internet-like system to protect the population. Aside from the fascinating premise, Scarlet Nexus wants to convince with a pretty anime style, a powerful super task force, a monster invasion and - as usual for the genre - with main characters that every reasonable person even wants to buy when buying a pack of brandy- Chocolates would often ask skeptically about their age.

Recommendation of the editors: If you own a Nintendo Switch and want to sweeten the waiting time for Scarlet Nexus, then we recommend the action fireworks Astral Chain from developer Platinum Games.
