Gameplay: 2 (Done very well and made the experience a worthwhile one) Monetization: 2.5 (Wonderful, wish more games used this model) Replayability: 1.5 (At or slightly above industry standard for the genre) Atmosphere: 2 (Done very well and made the experience a worthwhile one) Score: 8 Personal Play Time: 7.5 hours There are a few key elements that make a great survivor-like game: great visuals with minimal frame rate hiccups, engaging bosses or minibosses, and interesting, interactive weapons. Nerd Survivors checks quite a few of these boxes. After roughly 7.5 hours and unlocking a fair share of content, I feel like I’ve seen a lot of what the game has to offer. The nerdy aesthetic fits well with the weapons and characters, and I might find myself coming back for more runs occasionally.
