![]() ![]() After half a decade and in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the film’s release, Ubisoft has put together a complete edition of the original game, including additional downloadable content. Since then, it has amassed a cult following, which only became more ravenous after the title was delisted from digital storefronts and became unavailable to purchase and even more difficult to play. The World: The Game was a movie tie-in originally developed and published by Ubisoft in 2010. There is one entry in the collection of Scott Pilgrim related content that I have not ever been able to fully indulge in: the video game. Whenever I face a crossroads in my life, I revisit one or both of those projects and extract a new slice of wisdom about my path forward. The movie adaptation’s electrifying action encouraged me to purchase the full box set of the original Bryan Lee O’Malley comics and I have been smitten ever since. I became a member of that fandom far before I ever entered my formative late teenage years. Scott’s journey is one of personal accountability and responsibility, while Ramona’s is about self-acceptance and appreciation it is a beautiful journey that I recommend to anyone on the cusp of adulthood. Their human struggles extend beyond the backdrop of whimsical video game-style combat and a distinctive art style. The dialogue and development shared between Scott, Ramona, Knives, Kim, and the rest of this incredible cast warms the reader up inside. Still, you will be hard-pressed to find a saga more timeless than the story of this 23-year-old loser bassist falling head over heels for the girl of his literal dreams. Nowadays, stories about indie darlings learning about maturity are a dime a dozen. The Scott Pilgrim series of graphic novels are possibly the only books I have ever read that I resonate with on a truly vulnerable personal level.
