Introduction
Scott Pilgrim vs the World is a fantastic pixel art side-scroller that’s incredibly tough if you’re playing it without cheats. Playing as Scott, Ramona, Kim, Stills, Wallace or Knives, each character will need to be levelled up to level 16 and beefed up with purchasable items to really be able to survive in later levels. For those wanting to play without cheats, that’ll mean sticking to one character and grinding cash to be able to upgrade.

Scott Pilgrim hasn’t had the most conventional timeline when it comes to video games.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game was based on the graphic novels and released in 2010 to coincide with the film starring Michael Cera of Arrested Development fame. The first DLC pack introduced Knives Chau as a playable character and added the Dodge Ball and Battle Royale modes a few months after the initial release, and then the second DLC pack that added Wallace Wells as a character and online multiplayer was released about two and half years later in early 2013.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a River City Ransom-style co-op beat’em-up that came out alongside the launch of the 2010 Edgar Wright-directed film of the same name (all based on comics of the same name). Unfortunately, the game was only released digitally and in 2014 (likely due to expiring licenses), the game was pulled from online marketplaces. Ten years after that initial launch on the anniversary of the film, wishes were granted. After years of begging from fans, Scott Pilgrim Creator Bryan Lee O Malley got back together with developer and publisher Ubisoft for a remastered release of the game. But 10 years after, and with just a few more bells and whistles, does the Scott Pilgrim game hold up without the movie to carry it? Yes. So much so, yes.
