I beat SCARS ABOVE because no one else would

- Scars Above is a challenging sci-fi third-person action adventure shooter combining the rewarding feel of purchasing a game from a smaller developer with a compelling and intricate narrative about how aliens want our DNA. Set in a mysterious alien world to explore, Doctor Kate Science must use her gun to shoot the same 3 insect guys again and again and again for about 7-8 hours.

These games feel like they don’t exist. Does that make sense? They look decent enough where it’s like “huh I’ve never heard of this?” But there’s no marketing so…?
please change the pfp
I think these are the video game equivalent to movies that are made just as tax write offs
They seem like the kind of videogames you would see in a videogame where they don't want to put in a real videogame
there was marketing for it it was just minimal, I saw it when it was listed on steam and a couple gaming channels showed the trailer for it, it think I saw one youtube add for it aswell, I was considering getting it but yeah it did not look any good
I'm getting absolutely inundated with CZcams ads for this game. I wish I wasn't...
I like how Oboe finds games from alternate universes to play. I've never heard of this game or like 95% of the other games he plays.
"Scars" was quietly hyped on some youtube channels which cover upcoming undie, but it looked so "meh" nobody talked about it.
The other universe is called steam, lmao
@@MilkyMonstrosity hey good job ruining the joke I guess
The other universe is called "Unity asset flips"
They aren't hard to find buddy
When the first boss was named "the Alpha" I joked to myself that the final boss would be named "the Omega". Then I was like, no, that's silly, he's just the "alpha" of the pack. Obviously they wouldn't do something like that.
But...
Feeling when it's over: Pepega.
Scars Above 2 will include the sigma and the ligma
@@mrpalaces what is ligma? :)
@@R-SXX Ligma Johnson
@@amadeusagripino6862 oh
"Maybe save your money for Red Fall"
Boy did this not age well.
that DB Cooper reveal at the end hit me like a truck
Went from heisting to creating mediocre games, the best coverup there is
@@scarletcrusader5431 Not so sure, if this is the best the Phantom of the Sky had for his return he should have just stayed missing.
@@baseballviolationhe purposefully made it bad so nobody would play it, so he could remain missing
Bro went from epicly hijacking a plane for money into holding a game studio hostage to make a crappy game 52 year later
EDIT: WAIT I GOT A BETTER ONE
"Unfortunately it didn't really... take off"
for some reason the design choices in this game felt more understandable when i saw that DB Cooper came out of hiding to direct this game.
"99% glowing orbs and 1% armor, and the armor is a weak spot"
Its literally Astel from the Elden Ring lmao
Who? *_Looks it up_* Ohhhhh, that one. Yeeeeah, that was... yeah.
I mean, there were a lot of glowing orbs, in a manner of speaking... explodey glowing orbs.
Fun times!
Actually love seeing him cover AA games, have found some of my favorite little gems from his videos
honestly he should just dedicate himself to that
@@themagalanium9491he pretty much has. His second channel seems its for borderlands and other stream highlights
I felt really alone seeing his videos and really liked some of the games 😂
Was this game made while DB Cooper was holding the entire studio hostage, forcing them to complete the game before jumping off the roof and parachuting away like 12 feet because it's only a 2 story building? The world may never know, but yes.
My favorite part was when the main character scarred above
It's scarrin' time!
Truly one of the moments
"When's the last time a game told you to Press A to extrapolate the conclusion" Sherlock Holmes: Crimes And Punishments would like to have a word
That Redfall line aged like fine milk.
The "DB Cooper" reveal came out of left field and sent me spiraling to the floor
We need more games like this that are just simple AA third person shooters. It feels like every game now is either a major budget game or a small pixelated indie title with no in between
Play it on Commander Mode and you'll realize there's NOTHING simple about it!!!
FUN FUN GRIND, THOUGH!!!
this game is to dolmen what Callisto Protocol is to Dead Space
This game is more like Returnal at home with a pinch of remnant
@@loubloom1941 Both those games had more production value haha, I definitely agree with you that this is the 'at home' varient
This game is far more enjoyable than Dolmen.
Sincerely, the one moron who suffered through both games
Oboe is the type of guy to constantly give us Mass Effect references, but never gives us videos on Mass Effect.
ur comment made me wanna watch this video. anything that's mass effect, I flock to.
He likes playing games that we don't usually play just to show what we dont miss by not playing them. At the end theyre all kinda the same.
He has a mass effect 2 rant on his second channel
After how 3 ended and the travesty that was andromeda, ME doesn't deserve to have videos made of it.
@@demonintellect9834 ur problem is u associate the bad eggs with the good eggs my man you gotta acknowledge them separately
you're underrated af, there isn't a funnier more topical gamer on youtube
his voice is iconic
@@TheVintress Yeah he sounds funny. Where is his accent even from lol
@@TheVintress sounds a lot like early days pewdiepie
He's definitely funnier than most True Crime CZcamsrs.
Kevduit is another creator you'd like if you like this guy
I mean, this doesn't look like the worst game. I'd be pretty proud of this result as a small studio with like 3 games to their name. Gameplay is generic, but there's nothing outwardly insulting in it. Decent visuals, decent gameplay. It has better art direction than some games, as it actually looks alien. A real 6 out of 10.
I guess that's just the issue though, right? In a world with so much good content, stuff that is just mediocre isn't really worth anyone's time.
@boba Plenty of indie games craft great experiences on a minimal budget, the problem is that this game isn't doing anything to set itself apart from games that have done the same thing but better.
@boba There are probably thousands of better indie games than this
@@corvus8638 and theres thousands that are worse whats your point
@@rileytruax766 idk the person I was responding to deleted their comment
finally another dolmen-like
Should I look for other sources of dolmen?
DB Cooper is so bold hes still goin by the same alias. What a chad
I love how well that Redfall reference aged 😂💀😭
Im so glad DB Cooper jumped out of that plane so he could show us his Scars Above
i love you oboe
Me too. I love him so much I want him to be the godfather of my children.
My favourite part of Scars Above (2023) was when the dead spoke
You could say they were scarred dead
Honestly, Scars Above is a great game! Okay it's not mind blowing but it has a good story. Combat is fun and for a AA only costing £25, its definitely worth playing. Also on PS, completion rate is 23.3% atm
I am not paying 25 quid for that.
I'll pay 5.
I played it as well and I found it quite fun
one aspect I liked about the story is that she wasn't randomly special
she was just the first person the the alien lady got
as for the combat I really enjoyed it on the hardest
because it causes you to use the weapons as best as possible
Good take. I enjoyed this game for what it was. Interesting protagonist and story, serviceable combat and a good sense of progression and pacing. PS Naya and her final scene was the best part of the game.
Behold: The Caffeine-Free Diet Coke of video games.

Press X to Jason.

How far we've come.
“My face is tired 😐” will never not be funny
Failing the spoken dialog and animation at same time truly made Mass Effect Andromeda an experience.
Hey oboeshoesgames, greeting from Portugal, just to let you know I just recently found your CZcams channel and LOVE your videos. Keep it up !
Redfall the foreshadowing
that “gotta attach 3-4 supporting paragraphs” made me subscribe…keep up the incredible content my guy 😂
p.s. this game reminds me of returnal 👀
FBI's most wanted hijacker directed game named "Scars ABOVE" is too intriguing lol
Me when I misplace my final chloroplast: 😭
I feel like i’ve played this game like 20 times
@The Neb Neb why scam acc?
The most savage own scars above ever got and it came from a bot account
I love how the character death animation is sort of like minecraft's, they just tip over and disintegrate.
I love games about people getting infected with space virus, where the main character spends all of their time in a tank top with no rebreather/mask/life support of any kind.
3:42 "This... was a massacre!" has the same energy as "What the fuck... they're all dead" from Hunt Down the Freeman
Love your sense of humour bro. Subbed
Nice KOCH mate
lol the Casting and Directing Consultant wanted nothing to do with this one
I never catch your vids as they drop, I'm glad I did today
5:03 that monster dabbed RIGHT at you...truly horrifying.
I can't believe Mr. Dolman missed his opportunity to put Mr. Jefferson in Dolman's hit game Dolman
"I beat SCARS ABOVE because no-one else would".
Mortismal Gaming: well, this is awkward.
It's funny, I thought before I pressed the play button on this video that I'd never heard of this game before, but within the first few minutes I was having a sense of deja vu like I'd seen someone play this game before already, and realized that I've seen Iron Pineapple play this.
Also as a huge fan of Mass Effect, all the Mass Effect jokes give me life. XD
Oh man! Thankfully I saved some money for Reddfall! Thanks for the advice, I’m sure it’s going to be worth it
Doleman 2 looks pretty good
Best Dolmen-like I've seen in a while
I sure hope that Oboe makes a video on Prey 2017 one day.
i just started playing it and I love it. I hope it stays good.
My favourite Theory of a Deadman album, Scars & Souvenirs Above
"press a to extrapolate conclusion" and your jokes after that had me laughing out loud obnoxiously
I am eternally flabbergasted that game developers have such a hard time creating enemy variety.
Every new game you play, you think "Surely these game developers have actually played some games before and know that if you don't introduce a new base model enemy for every hour of story progress the game will feel very dull"... And then year after year we find half a dozen new games that probably cost $100 Million each to make but still have less than five total enemy types.
Cough cough Breath of the Wild
@@Trepidateousflesh Yup, Breath of the Wild is one of the best examples of a game done right.
13 base enemy types, with an average of five variations of each, plus overworld boss types, plus 8 unique dungeon bosses.
@@Trepidateousflesh The BotW Wiki has a total of 96 entries for enemies.
Koch media out here with another “meh” game. You love to see it.
Heckler & Koch Media
“Save your money for Redfall” 😂
Apparently the only thing the casting and directing consultant stole was oboes time.
Oboe you should try to play Black Mesa, the half life remake. It's beautiful, and very well executed
The final chapter isn't named after THIS game but it certainly does have the name of a game.
Ok but the name “scars above” is pretty good
Bruh this game was pretty fun. Refreshing to see a third person game like this. Also you need to hit the orange ball on the alpha with the orange gun to do max damage
This game is garbage wydm
@@Thatonedude227 for its price, it was fun. And I love tps games like ME and Returnal. So this hit the spot for me
@@stoogemoedudeits objectively shit though
@@thesupreme8062 "its shit". Okay but why? "Because the CZcamsr told me it is".
Best Wingdings reference in a game review ever!
DB Cooper did it again! He's made off with more money
I'm pleased to know this was in fact scuffed Returnal
What we need next is; The Doleman Protocol, the ultimate video game.
The "Per aspera" chapter title is from the NASA motto "per aspara ad astra" -- "through hardships to the stars"
Damn; I actually wishlisted this one too!
Instant sub
Good to see Mr. Cooper is still getting work.
I fucking lost it at Seattle day 1, that got to me. I love your videos
My god, I almost forgot about Dolmen. I shall have to say 7 hail Dolmens to cleanse my Dolmens before I Dolmen tonight.
This game feels like an unreal 5 asset flip with a budget of 250k
Oboe you should realy consider playing IGI 1 and 2 someday
Nice koch, sir
Did DB Cooper finally slip up? Ladies and gentlemen... we got him.
I also say "oh no!" every time I wake up in Seattle.
The DOLMEN verse is expanding
In defense of dollmen, its a Brazil game and as a brazillian our games tend to suck
TUDO aqui é uma porcaria mesmo
There's this old pc game called Kohan: immortal sovereigns, and it's sequel Kohan 2 kings of War. It's a rts strategy game similar to like a halo wars or aoe campaigns. I played 2 back in 2004-8 religiously and it seems mostly forgotten
Only played and beat it to hear TheDoos guitar solo near the end
My favorite DB Cooper game, by far
"The omega" looks like the enemies from the lego Space Miners sets. Remember those?
I would like to see you try psi ops: the mindgate conspiracy. I think you’d have fun
His whole gimmick is playing bad games not good ones
“We have Returnal at home” the game
I was going to have an opinion about this video but I forgot to hit A so I didn’t extrapolate any conclusion.
The seattle day 1 joke killed me lol
"Why having ice makes lighning hurt more?"... because ice is... water?
The bad guy is the Custodian?
By the Emperor... you playing as a traitor. Call Adeptus Arbites!
“We have returnal at home.” Nah it seems like a perfectly acceptable AA game. Luckily it’s priced accordingly.
I remember seeing this and thinking it looked good but I didn’t know much about it back then or who made it.
Bro was definitely a history major lmfao
Let me guess, they don't teach history in schools in... *checks notes*... the USA?
The custodian 🧐
I never did trust that guy!
🤣🤣
Finally, next gen gaming
At least you didn't fight an attack helicopter for the final boss.
OMG they found DB Cooper! :O
Is the name "DB Cooper" like when film directors list themselves as "Alan Smithee" on movies they don't want to be associated with? But that makes no sense, because who wouldn't be proud of their work on Scars Above?
Looks like the aliens use wingdings! Lololol!
I spit my coffee upon seeing guys from Balkan made this game
Damn, this reminds me of the good ole Doleman days.
Just a normal day as a wildlife scientist
