 Our Rating for Nimbus Review (PC, Steam)
9.0
Replay
Ugh! It’s so damned frustrating, but you’ll replay a level 100 times trying to shave a few seconds off your best time. That goes to show you how addictive it is.
8.0
Graphics
They’re not ultra-spectacular, won’t require liquid-cooling to view properly and won’t win any awards probably. But nonetheless, they are perfect for this game. I like the parallax they did with the backgrounds as well.
8.0
Sound
Again, it’s got a sort of 8-bit soundtrack that fits right into the pattern and calls to mind those hours when Mario pissed me off and I turned the music off so I could concentrate on the gameplay.
9.5
Gameplay
Man the controls really mess with your head as they’re counter-intuitive. But once you’ve rewired your mind to understand the situation, it’s full speed ahead and this game is a true gem. It will make you laugh when you pull something off, it will make you swear when you screw something up and it will keep you entertained forever, possibly.
0.0
Multiplayer
There is no true multiplayer really. It’s online leaderboards. But having more than one ship on the screen at a time would have probably been insanely chaotic and distracting. However, a real-time multiplayer race might be possible, in the next version of the game.
9.5
Overall
This is GDN Gold through and through. Some people will probably hate it. Many will love it. For the price, it’s got more gameplay and hours-per-dollar potential than most of the big box, AAA titles, and it’s only $10.
