✦ AI summary

N.E.R.O.: Nothing Ever Remains Obscure is praised for its emotional narrative, atmospheric design, and compelling storytelling that resonates with players, though opinions diverge sharply on the execution. The main complaints center on sluggish walking simulator gameplay, underwhelming puzzles, technical issues, and design compromises from its console origins that feel dated on PC. Players suggest it's worth experiencing for the story and atmosphere, though primarily as a narrative experience rather than a game with engaging mechanics.

NERO is an 11 year old Xbox One console game ported to PC. It's a somewhat cerebral, "more art than game" adventure/puzzle game meets walking sim as you take on the role of a masked child with a dark companion and you explore themes of loss and other maudlin affairs, which involves plodding along, clicking through some Myst-esque puzzles and feeling all artsy and cultured. Although I'm not sure how cultured you really get from playing 11 year old Xbox games on PC. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. Because this is designed for consoles, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the inferior console gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the console-centric developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for consoles forces upon a game. Once more, console peasants have made gaming worse for everyone…

Replayed this game in VR after abandoning it back when it was first released. It's much better in VR (although some visual elements are missing) and although the world is amazing, the game itself falls kinda flat and I can't put my finger on it. Still a decent 1st person walking sim with occasional (optional) puzzles, great music, voicework and visuals. 7.9 out of 10.

Okay game. Beautiful concept but mediocre execution. Moving story and nice music, graphics somewhat okay but glitchy, Gameplay is nothing more than a walking simulator that's too slow for comfort and the "puzzles" are meh at best, frustrating at times. Recommended for the concept and story, but don't expect anything special gameplaywise.
