So do you remember Nexus Station? All right, fair enough, we only posted about it once. The short version is that it’s a new sandbox game put together by developer Social First, a team that promised a new approach to a sandbox MMORPG. But you don’t have to take our word for it, as the game has launched into early access on Steam at the moment and it’s free-to-play on the platform.
The down side for the developers is that this also means the reviews are coming in, and they’re already sitting at “Mixed” with a distinct bias of longer reviews being sharply negative. One review likens the game to being a cheaper mobile port of Mario Maker, while another notes that the cash shop is fully functional despite being in early access and having a paucity of playable content. Ultimately, the verdict is still out, but it definitely doesn’t seem that the early access has resulted in many delighted players.
