Now presenting warm welcomes!

Welcome back everyone, this is firetrolik here with my 4th review in count. Before I get to the point, allow me to speak a couple of words of wisdom. Lately I was checking up on the featured games, listed with exclusive and unimaginably incredible games in search for a review worthy game. Apparently after surfing the pages, I stumbled upon the title 'Nexus'. Comprehensively, this title grabbed a lot of my mental attention and brought up my energy as I knew that another review would be coming up. A major plus is due to the fact that this appears as a platformer type game first hand from what we can all identify. This dives and soaks into a brand new generation of platformer gaming, this is one of the few unique games I've ever managed to find on the sploder main site, and I qualify this material as a job well done. Now to get to the point, Nexus is the game I will be reviewing today, so stay frost for any interesting words and phrases! I'll start us off, like always, by explaining the thumbnail. Geometric, if you are reading this, prepare to be thrilled, there's a gallon of constructive words awaiting. Now, let us presnt the thumbnail in... three... two... one... Thumbnail!


The thumbnail is the physical attraction of what convinced me to grab an attempt at Nexus, otherwise described by me as the visual beauty lacking the beasts for a good deed. I won't be required to give the obvious out here, so I'll take it in minor steps and describe things that you'll need to know. You've got 5 wood posts surrounding your coordinated area, one of them may seem a tad difficult to spot, however you should find it without much trouble. Quite frankly it seems that you are also surrounded by a minority of grass, however this seems strange as to making an appearance in such a scenery, this wasn't expected by me, however adds on to the 'physical attraction'. If you look closely you will find yourself examining a power glove by the left of blockhead, here I will give you a quick piece of information: In the game the scene is set dark, you need the power glove for a minor source of light. 2 more things are to be said here, hold up. Blockhead is in between the top and lower floors containing passages, which also include wood posts and something I cannot tell you on the right. On the bottom passages, there is yet another box and one of the 5 wood posts, not inclusive with much detail yet a worthy substance to add to this.


Scenery is up for stage for your information, prepare yourselves. As always, I never contain much forming words in my brain to give you about scenery, however I feel it would be a good deed to tell you whatever I can find in there. First things first, the scenery contains of dark blue walls and back tiles, this must have been specially created to trick you into thinking that you will advance further in. Water levels are also impressive as they contain cavelns in some of them, could there be a treasure behind them? The wood posts I am currently not aware why they are allocated in this place, it seems quite strange to have found this and maybe requires some fixing up? As I said, I never have much to say about scenery about games, partly because they are only minor things and not detailed by a lot.


Puzzles and traps have made a slight yet overwhelming appearance in this game, look out! I have been very impressed by the usage of puzzles and traps, dedication of well done words to Geometric, a hard worker. During the first obstacle, you require a key to move on, yet if you venture out into a specific place (which I disallow myself to uncover for you), you will activate a cbleep disallowing you to move on in the game and force a restart. For any reason if you manage to hear a 'boom' sound, it is possible that you may be tricked into thinking that an important hallway or location in the playfield has enclosed, where in an explosive tile could have been destroyed! Only the faint of heart would fall for such a trick, but don't be fooled by the sounds and passage blockings, you may still find a way to finish the game without causing any troubles on your journey or any harms to blockhead, once again, stay frosty. May I now move on to the explanation of featuring befenits?


Is this game feature worthy?

Most honestly, I serve my answer as a yes. This game is most definetely feature worthy for the sake of platformer gaming. Any editor out there who made their decision to bring this up into the featuring side has good brains, thinks wisely and qualifies as a master.


Pros:


- Excellent puzzles and traps

- Impressive scenery

- Good decision on the story


Cons:


- Unusual thumbnail

- Wood post decoration doesn't suit the game


Scoring:
