A basic gameplay loop where you jump your ship to a system, kill anything hostile in it, and explore everything before moving on. The writing and visual novel style interactions when you explore and interact with other beings is where it shines. The overarching mystery and story, and final twist is very well paced and really good, which more than makes up for any of the games shortcomings.
Starcom: Nexus is a 2D build-your-own spaceship and explore an unknown galaxy game. The gameplay parts are rudimentary, but serviceable and fun, but where this game really stands out is the writing and exploration. Despite planetary exploration being "just" a text game, it nails letting you feel like you're discovering something cool for the first time. There's some legitimately great planet adventures and because of this, flying around the galaxy and exploring always feels great. There's little strategy to the combat, but to me that's fine because scaling up your build from tiny scout to huge battleship is still fun and rewarding, and it feels like you're progressing. It's a really well paced game, where the flying bits are a nice change to the reading bits.
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.
