Scars Above captures the same spooky alien vibes as Returnal, but it's a much more traditional space adventure

You know the one - the big ominous pyramid hanging in the sky above Earth. This would all be fine and dandy if Kate herself wasn’t so awkward to control. It really is just fighting for the sake of having a scrap. I just wish said fighting was a bit more fluid and satisfying under the thumbs. I await its full release with cautious optimism.
