Description: It has been hundreds of years since the machines ironically wiped out mankind. After the seemingly endless competition, the two dominant operating systems formed “The Agreement” to share the colonized planets equally. Unfortunately, the once plentiful “crypto” mines have begun to dry up, and so fighting over this critical resource has resumed. Multiplayer VR action comes to The Nest with the “Ctrl Alt Delete” update. Teams of up to three players will fight over Ctrl points, or six players can farm each other in the free-for-all “Delete” game mode.

Review: While The Nest is a predominantly online game it does at least have some bots in the first few levels which means it is at least playable because this is one online game that is essentially a ghost town. The good news is that being long forgotten doesn’t mean it isn’t a fun game to play. While you can enjoy shooting a few AI bots this game is best played with friends and lots of them. The sniping feature is especially worth a look, but there really isn’t a lot to do or see here so at least it is free as even the smallest of charges would have put me off recommending this to people. Just remember that this is an online game and you will need some friends to play it with.
