In IGN’s Scott Pilgrim EX evaluation, Will Borger writes, “Scott Pilgrim EX is the newest in an extended line of retro revivals from Tribute Video games, and like all of its earlier works, the developer has achieved an admirable job of producing a beat ‘em up that builds on its predecessor whereas including a lot appreciated gameplay depth and lots of replayability. I really like EX’s RPG programs (easy as they’re), its world, and the way there’s at all times one other fascinating character to strive after I get bored. However it’s additionally a recreation that grapples with the passage of time, even when it maybe doesn’t imply to. The fashionable beat ‘em up exists as a result of of the video games that got here earlier than, however they have been typically way more restricted. With the passage of time, we’ve returned to these concepts and refined them. Like Scott Pilgrim itself, these video games have gone from one thing that was new to one thing that’s now referenced. Nostalgia is a robust drug, however a bittersweet one, and Scott Pilgrim EX understands that. You’ll be able to return in time, however you may’t return to the way in which issues have been. All that’s left is to understand the place you’ve been and revel in what’s right here now. And you recognize what? What’s right here is fairly enjoyable.”
