Summary

Scarf is a delightful third-person action game. You slowly over time build a bond with this scarf that in turn for your friends will help guide you and traverse the game world. The scarf will turn into different formations in order to fund the adventure. Scarf as a whole may not do a lot of new things but it does give a cohesive solid experience. Walking through water is a particular high point, you collect this item that makes water repel you so you can walk around the sea bed, it looks incredible. It’s moments like that peppered throughout that stop it all from getting stale, helps move the game along, and are genuinely astonishing to witness. I can’t say a real harsh bad word against the game as it is just a really well-crafted world wrapped in an engaging story. The combat, the traversal is all at a level that anyone can pick up and play, it’s just a well-constructed game and one I urge you to try.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
