Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game has developed a cult following and an interesting history with the game being delisted for several years and now finally returning to every modern console available including PC. Haven't played it in years, I'm glad to say the game is just as good as I remembered it.

The levels here are surprisingly varied here with beginning in a snowy part of Toronto to a Zen garden of sorts. The soundtrack here done by Anamanaguchi is probably the best "8-bit" soundtrack I've heard in recent memory along with Loop Hero. Best of all, the game is just fun to play, you can do coop attacks with your friends and there's a lot of interactivity with them when you can literally pick up your fallen friend and use them as a weapon.

Only complaint is probably having to use a Ubisoft account to even play online on Switch which I feel is an odd decision. The online itself can be pretty buggy which kinda sucks because I think this game is at itS best when playing with someone.

If you're a fan of the source material here or just looking for a cool beat-em-up with an incredible soundtrack, you really can't go wrong with Scott Pilgrim.
