What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I'm finding myself just as captivated with the story, visuals, and gameplay on my second playthrough as when I first played it.
Yes the gameplay is slow on occasion yet it is a lot of fun to optimise the ships’ equipment for the next mission and try different ship to ship combat tactics during the missions.
Current generation resolutions are supported, it has Steam Integration, and the videos now run smooth as silk, though they are somewhat low res when compared to gameplay resolutions of 1920x1080 or higher.
The ships are beautifully designed with graphics that I found hard to believe were from 2004, and like I said, the story is amazeballs, pun intended. 20 hours I don't regret, a scarce good feeling in a meaningless existence in an empty void.
In terms of sound Nexus is a very quiet game which only adds to the immersion and experience of silent space although a good soundtrack playing on your stereo whenever you boot up this game is something I can only recommend.
