I’m at the age where halfway through a concert I start checking my phone and doing the math on how many more songs are left. Where the music once felt like a soul-transforming rift in space and time stretching out before an endless night, I now dread the performative wait for the band to come back on stage and play its final post-credits bonus tracks. Scott Pilgrim EX is a window back into the mindset of a young 20-something who is not tired, cynical, and consumed with rage over Uber surge pricing. It’s a bite-sized adventure full of retro joy and simple problems with familiar solutions. Also a parade of nostalgia-tickling references to gaming’s past.
