World design and variety are excellent, making the various realms a joy to explore. Plus, even though you’ll be revisiting areas like Midgard, the change in weather allows for a fresh coat of paint to be applied, dampening any sense of deja vu.

While it can’t match the gameplay diversity of its sequel, TLOU Part I absolutely looks the part of a brand new PS5 game — if you didn’t know that this was a remake of a PS3-era title, you’d never know based on the graphical prowess, level design, and world building.

While it may take a little while to embrace the new controls, the strides made in terms of presentation should be immediately welcomed.

Just as it did a decade ago, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World delivers quality throwback visuals. The developers clearly drew inspiration from previous eras when crafting this game as traveling across its seven levels is a nostalgia-filled romp with dozens of moments that made us think of titles we grew up playing. Each stage is wholly unique and filled with all manner of bizarre (and often comical) enemies. The OST fits like a glove as well with its fantastic pulse-pounding tunes.
