What players say
Players are split on Nihilsearch. Some enjoy the sci-fi atmosphere, map design, and challenge, but many more criticize the lack of any tutorial, clunky combat with delayed hits on each swing, frequent bugs, and punishing traps with sparse save points. Several call the price too high for the rough state of the game.
