Shane Wall - "Indie studio Storm In a Teacup is working on a new way to play a story puzzler, calling their game Nero a “next-gen visual novel”. I can’t think of a better description for what is an absolute sensory delight. Nero features rich neon colours contrast against a very dark world, beckoning you further into the game and tempting you to explore. It’s nothing short of gorgeous."
Stuggy reviews N.E.R.O. in his review. As amazingly beautiful as N.E.R.O is, the story fails to fiddle your heart strings.
Short Pause: "From the soundtrack to the environments, Nero is a finely crafted graphic novel that reminds players what it means to be a family."
COG writes - Nero is an absolutely jaw dropping interactive narrative that is sadly held back by simple puzzles, choppy gameplay and an even choppier framerate. Still, if you can get past these issues there's a strong story buried beneath it all.
