The Nest Reviews

'The Nest' by Invrse Studios places you in the shoes of a tactical sniper. Your living room is now a sniper nest with a single window. Sound awesome? It is. It's been a while since we've had a decent sniper game on any platform (Silent Scope, anyone?). I played with a large box in front of me that I could rest/lean on. This aided in immersion and, of course, steadied my aiming. I had an absolute blast! Headshots are so damn satisfying. Judging from the placeholder text in the menus, it seems that Invrse is committed to adding a full campaign and even multiplayer. While light on content right now (Early Access), at only $8.99 this game is well worth the price of admission! GET THIS NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgrwuN9nnIo

The Nest was a promising single player sniper title when it came out... now it's a dead multiplayer game. I wish the devs stuck to what they said their plan was in the EA disclosures - single player sniper game with additional levels.

I only played the first round using a chair back for the window as was recommended (TY) and managed to freeze it taking a screenshot but i got to say i Love it!!! after playing pc FPS for almost 20 years this is the first time i really felt like a sniper, VR is Amazing!! The scope worked great for me, and the in game graphics were pretty damn good considering im running a 6 year old i7 with a gtx970 thrown in. I am looking forward to see how this game evolves, Great Job Dev's Thank You ;}

An overpriced wave sniper. This was an early promise. It looked alright at the time (it's fairly aliased, and the contrast is harsh), but it has not aged well. Maybe it received too much press at the time. Now that I've complained about how half the Unreal Engine VR games look like crap, I will note that the game remains the very simple demo it was when I bought it. One sniper nest, facing one direction, facing the same environment, shooting the same robots, with the same (singular) weapon, in either morning or night configuration. The developer or the potential customer reading this can do better.

Please reinstate the original, one player, wave shooter that The Nest was. That's what I payed for and it worked fine. To replace it with something that doesn't function and is on-line only, then make it free, is absurd. Call this The Nest on-line and make it separate, instead of taking the original title I paid for away. Here at "The Nest" put back the original tower defense wave shooter. Call the other "thing" The Nest on-line. Just give me back my game...

Bought this game as a single player game. After the last update the single player was removed, now there is only multiplayer. This is not what I bought. As if it wasn't bad enough there are no servers, which makes it unplayable. This feels like a fraud. Sadly I cannot refund because I own it for more than 2 weeks.

The game has been in early access mode for almost a year and from the looks of it, they haven't been working on it at all. It's basically a demo, 1 gun (that reloads itself, yawn) and one level. The enemies are dumb... and honestly, I'd have more fun shooting action figures with an air-soft gun. I initially expected these jerks to keep working on it, and release more content over time, but nope, they pretty much just took the money and ran. If they don't post any significant updates soon, I'm gonna write these guys off as scammers.

This game isn't bad. But I don't reccomend it for the following reasons: 1. If you're used to shooting real rifles (I am) you'll find the position of the scope on the gun, while accurate to an RL gun, makes it very difficult to see through in the vive because you'll be looking at the edge of the lens, thus making everything blurry. This leaves you with two options: 1) move your head. 2) move your body. Both throw off years of muscle memory. :( Putting in a method to move the scope to the right or left of center would fix this problem...i'd rather my gun look weird and work/feel right, than my gun look right and work weird. 2. The AI is...really simple. As long as you kill your target with the first shot, none of the other enemies will notice you. "Cool! A reward for precision!" Yea...but...they don't react *at all*. They don't seek cover, they don't dip and dodge, they don't try to find you. Nothing. They just wander around like braindead robots. 3. The hardest difficult just puts armor plates you have to shoot off on, so that it takes two headshots to kill. Sure, I have to dodge a shot everytime i try to kill something, but...that feels like a downgrade. Its just irritating that the way they make it harder is to make it take two headshots. I'd rather it be harder by the AI having better reflexes, or actively trying to find me, requiring me to be sneaky.

I can't recommend this game at this time. It has very little content and has not been updated in a long time. Last I heard they were working on multiplayer but that's the last thing I want to see in a game like this. There are a million other multiplayer shooters on Vive, stick to what made this game interesting in the first place. This game seems dead in the water.

I truly hope I can recommend this game further down the road. As it is, The Nest is a cool concept that's fun for about 10 minutes, but like a lot of these VR games, is a one trick pony. The sniping is fun, the zooming in is cool, playing at night is awesome, but you see all of it and do all of it before you can even really get into it. I know the game is Early Access. I hope the devs keep working on it and add new locations and a campaign and everything we could ever want. But a score should not be based on hopes and dreams. I will definitely keep checking in on this every time there's an update, eager to give that thumbs up.
