    Nether has a lot of potential to be a great game, but unfortunately it suffers from odd design choices that make the gameplay experience an exercise in repeat frustration.

    The core of Nether – what it IS – hasn’t changed. It’s a game that requires your tender, loving care. It’s a seed; a seed with the potential to bloom into something beautiful and magnificent if you’re willing to get the right tools and put in all that work.

    Online shooter of average quality that doesn't feel like it's finished yet.

    Nether is noticeably unfinished, and has a lot of work ahead before it resembles a solid game. But it has a discernible spark of life. There is potential for it to become a game worthy of attention. The environment it presents is huge, and the grayed-out portions of the map serve to tease you with even more areas to explore, and stories to create, in its bleak, abysmal, yet interesting world. If only it can learn to stop tripping over its own feet.

    Nether is an interesting multiplayer survival FPS that lacks a bit of ambition.

    All in all, Nether is a great time. It’s a highly engaging and realized survival experience; something we need more of.

    With effort, dedication, and a painstaking amount of man hours, it is plain to see that Nether could become a game to rival the likes of DayZ and Rust. As it stands, I cannot suggest this game to anyone looking for a unique survival experience.

    Reasons not to buy it:
    1. No goal. None you just run around and "survive". No endgame.
    2. No reason to work to together. No matter what you    Reasons not to buy it:
    1. No goal. None you just run around and "survive". No endgame.
    2. No reason to work to together. No matter what you do you can still hurt you buddies so goodbye trusting anyone.
    3. Everyone is just out to kill each other. Just a glorified deathmatch.
    4. Every enemy teleports, goodbye running away if you know you can't win.
    5. The enemies are laughably easy unless encountered in hoards.
    6. They just shoved it out the door despite its full of bugs.
    7. Terrain is horribly glitched I've falling out of the map multiple times, got stuck multiple times, and hell just walked under the map, multiple times. Water is just a joke either it'll kill you insanely fast 'cause you get stuck or just straight up instant kill you.

    Do NOT buy this game, it's just a pvp mess and doesn't deserve your time what so ever. If you want a pvp game try counter strike, TF2, hell even COD would be a better choice than this. This is just scam city hell there is even rumors floating around that this is made by the same people that made WarZ (know as infestation now)    … Full Review »

    The game is oddly close to the rubbish infestation survivor stories. They will ban you from their steam forum if you so much as mention it.
