Yuito can temporarily borrow her powers, adding fire damage to his melee attacks and lighting the objects he throws on fire. She attacks with wide-swinging melee strikes and lights enemies on fire. For example, in the demo, Yuito teamed up with Hanabi, a staff-wielding pyrokinetic. Each one has a different power, which Yuito can temporarily borrow to augment his own skills and unlock new types of attacks. Yuito will meet and team-up with other individuals with extra-sensory abilities throughout the game, but they won't be psychokinetics like him. The demo didn't show off much of how this would look like, but I'm a little worried by how party members might detract from the evolution of such a combat system. Yuito can also break apart larger objects in half to pancake smaller enemies or combine several objects into a meteor-looking ball that he can slam down in an area-of-effect attack. It all seemed pretty cool, especially when the demo skipped ahead to showcase additional psychokinetic powers that Yuito can unlock, like timing button presses to grab an object you've already thrown past an enemy to pull it back towards you and strike the enemy for a second time. Later on in the demo, when Yuito began confronting larger numbers of enemies, combat almost took on this frantic, dance-like approach as Yuito had to use his psychokinetic abilities to manage the crowd while his melee attacks dealt heavy damage to the targets closest to him. But Yuito seems to be at his strongest when he dances back and forth between the two styles, stunning targets with a thrown car and quickly finishing them off with a few snappy melee attacks. He can also pummel enemies from afar with whatever is lying around, and given that Scarlett Nexus takes place in a city, there's plenty to throw. Yuito can dive past the Others' long-range attacks to get in close and slice away.

When paired with Yuito's melee combat mechanics, it creates a sense of flow that reminds me of how Starkiller fought in The Force Unleashed.
