Learn About the Game Nex
I recently stumbled across this little VR gem called Nex, and I have to say, it really surprised me. At first glance, it looks like your standard wave-based shooter—bright neon corridors, enemy robots closing in—but there’s something about the pacing and polish that just clicks. Whether you’re ducking behind cover to reload or leaning into a dodge roll to avoid an incoming volley, the game keeps you on your toes without ever feeling unfair.
What I love most is how straightforward the core loop is: pick up a weapon, blast through waves of mechanical foes, try not to get overwhelmed, and repeat. But Nex layers in a bunch of nice touches, like a weapon-upgrade system that lets you swap parts between runs, or little modifier power-ups that can turn your simple blaster into a mini-railgun. It’s always tempting to chase “just one more run” because you want to see how far you can push your loadout.
Graphically, Nex leans into that retro-futuristic vibe—think crisp geometry and glowing accents rather than photorealism—and it totally works in VR. You get just enough visual flair to feel immersed without overloading your eyes, and the audio feedback from every shot or explosion hits satisfyingly loud in your headset. Even minor details, like the little hum of a charging laser, make each encounter feel more tactile and alive.
Beyond the single-player hustle, there’s a cooperative mode that’s a blast if you’ve got a friend willing to dive in. Sharing ammo packs, calling out enemy spawns, or reviving each other when things go sideways adds this great layer of camaraderie. All in all, Nex isn’t reinventing the wheel, but it’s a polished, lean shooter that fills a perfect niche if you’re craving some quick-fire VR action.
