Take on the role of Yuito Sumeragi, a new recruit to the OSF aiming to become an elite psionic like the one who saved him as a child. Armed with a talent in psycho-kinesis, explore the futuristic city of New Himuka and uncover the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in SCARLET NEXUS.
For $5 I'll add it to my backlog and never get to it. 😂
I had a great time with this game! Great combat and I love that you basically share the abilities of whoever is in your party. Story is a little darker than I would have imagined but overall good time and a no-brainer at $5.

sad, no stores near me have it in stock. i was able to get tales of arise on PS4 yesterday for 5 and it was the last one at my local store.
Did you have the employees check their system for any in stock in their store or nearby? The online site sucks with inventory management. I was able to get Scarlett Nexus (PS5), Star Ocean (PS5) and Tales of Arise (PS4) from 2 stores that the online site said was out of stock
After the first 10 hours or so, I thought this game was amazing. Great battle system, likable characters, fun progression systems and crafting, good soundtrack, and an engaging story.
But man, this game just becomes a slog around the middle. I eventually lowered the difficulty to easy just to get through the fights and make it to the end faster. The story gets dumb, the character events become tedious, and the dungeon design is just bland with endless enemies that aren't all that different from one another.
I really wanted to like this game, and I did in the beginning, but I'd say overall it's just pretty average. The battle system is fun, though.
Oh, and this is the first PS5 game I've played where I really didn't like what they did with the DualSense support. At times it felt like just random clicks, or just constant vibrating feedback during battles. Honestly it felt like the game was actively trying to break my controller.

You might be a hoarder.
