Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
103 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm finding myself just as captivated with the story, visuals, and gameplay on my second playthrough as when I first played it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
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.
