Our take on Scrap Riders
Players who want uninterrupted combat may bounce when the game moves from fighting into point-and-click investigation and puzzles. The same shift may frustrate anyone expecting a straightforward beat-'em-up, since conversations and the cargo-theft mystery are part of the core structure.
