Probably my new favourite game to play on the side ... That said it's an excellent space exploration game with some decent combat. Nice progressions systems makes it enjoyable to push always a bit further. Looking for some kind of space "arpg" this might be it !

I played this game immediately after playing Starcom: Unknown Space, which I also liked. Although I mistakenly played the second game first and the first game second, it didn't really matter all too much. Many aspects of the original Starcom game were really great. I felt the storytelling was better in Nexus, the landing on planets had more varied responses, and the combat was less punishing. A lot of the quality of life improvements in Unknown Space are missing, such as autopilot, or other small things, but nothing that is a dealbreaker. One small criticism is that the main story becomes a bit hard to follow at certain points and I had to rely on Google and YouTube videos to get back on track. That could just be a me thing but it was a bit frustrating. You really have to pay attention to everything that's said and read all the dialogue or you could end up a bit lost.

This game gets something right and something wrong. First of all, it is addicting. It nails the exploration and progression feel: "Just...one...more...warp..." Defeating enemies, completing quests, collecting resources, unlocking new technologies and building an even bigger, even stronger and resourceful ship is fun. However, there's several points which really try to be smart but, in the end, result just frustrating. Some quest details are hidden behind some very self-thought reasoning without very clever way of hinting them to the player. Imagine if you were talking to an aquaintance and suddenly they ask you: "Guess what i'm thinking right now!" out of the blue without context. That's exactly how it feels to complete certain quests and i have to be honest, i had to Google some of them because i really didn't want to spend more time bashing my head against a wall. We're not in the 90s anymore, i don't want to commit a full month into a single indie game. Another thing i didn't "love" too much was the total snowballing i could have about absolutely everything and anything towards the middle to endgame. Infinite shield, gobsmacking firepower, turbo regeneration and massive warp drives with no cooldown didn't make things exciting. That being said, except for quests vagueness and lot (lot) of backtracking, overall this game captured my attention for quite a bit and it was fun to complete. Also, the final "boss" is a complete joke. They say the sequel of this got a lot more love and details, let's see. For what's worth, i personally recommend this game but it's not one of those i'd see myself playing a second time after finishing it.
