NERO is very much an experience piece in all senses. It's the projected portrayal of what a little boy goes through in his mind to help deal with real-world problems. And with regard to the player: you just have to experience it. A written description will never adequately explain what it's like to be dropped into the game's world for five minutes, ten minutes, three hours -- however long you'd like really.
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.

Great Score.Kind of reminds me of Ori..
Wonder why is not coming to the ps4, since it's coming to the xbox and wiiu, even the 3ds!
Looks interesting, but I'm not paying $20 for it. Maybe when it goes on sale or becomes one of XB1 Free GOLD games, I'll check it out. Glad it got a great review though. We need more games like these.
