The Outerhaven ProductionsScott AdamsMay 20254/5 starsScar-Lead Salvation is a solid experience with great gunplay. It can have some failings with the longer hallways or the risky narrative storytelling, but overall a fun time.

ShacknewsLucas WhiteMay 20257/10For a game that is clearly inspired by Returnal, we seem to have really missed the forest for the trees here. But points for trying, especially from a set of studios that haven't played in this space before. I’d love to see another shot, no pun intended.

TheSixthAxisAdrian BurrowsMay 20253/10More akin to playing through a proof of concept than a finished game, Scar-Lead Salvation fails to live up to the pitch of being an anime Returnal.
