About Scott Pilgrim EX
Scott Pilgrim EX is a brawler adventure game developed by Tribute Games, released on March 3 2026. It blends fast-paced combat with side-scrolling exploration across Toronto’s streets, alien landscapes, and retro-futuristic zones. You play as Scott Pilgrim or Ramona Flowers, fighting rival gangs while collecting upgrades and unlocking new abilities. The game runs on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, PC, Switch, and Switch 2. It adds co-op and split-screen modes to the series’ signature comic-style brawling. Ideal for fans of chaotic action and character-driven stories, but don’t expect a short playthrough.
Gameplay
Combat revolves around timed button presses and combo chains, with each enemy type requiring different tactics. You’ll dash between floating platforms, dodge attacks, and execute special moves by chaining inputs. The adventure mode forces backtracking to collect 150+ hidden items, extending sessions by hours. Multiplayer lets two players tackle levels together or battle in arena mode. Split-screen is limited to local co-op only. Controls are responsive but steep for newcomers, with a focus on rhythm and timing. Boss fights mix platforming and brawling, often requiring pattern recognition and precise dodges.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings average 82%, with 34% of players completing the game. Average playtime is 9 hours, though 12% report over 20. Community moods are split: 58% enjoy the chaotic combat, while 42% gripe about repetitive enemy AI. Critics praise the art style (89/100) but criticize pacing (76/100). One user wrote: “Fun fights but the side quests drag.” Another said: “Split-screen is gold for couch co-op.” Achievement completion is 67% average, with 18 total trophies. 15% of players quit before beating the final boss.
PlayPile's Take
Scott Pilgrim EX is a solid pick for brawler fans willing to invest 10+ hours. At $49.99, it’s pricey for a single-player-focused game with limited online modes. Achievements reward completionists but aren’t overly challenging. The split-screen co-op is a standout feature, though it’s not worth the price tag alone. Skip if you dislike backtracking or want a concise story. For $20 less, older Scott Pilgrim games offer tighter experiences. This one’s best for groups looking to fight together on a couch.
