Nihilumbra is praised for its beautiful visuals, immersive atmosphere, and a story-driven experience that rewards exploration and replayability, including hard modes like void. However, players repeatedly report crashes/bugs, a lack of recent updates, and cramped or imprecise controls that hinder gameplay. Overall, it’s considered a beloved, classic title with strong art and narrative, needing stability and continued support to reach its full potential.

This game is the best game that I’ve played in a while. It’s just awesome.🖤🖤🖤

Pretty good game, but many fatal errors. I won’t bore you with the annoying, oh it was so great and now it’s bad, and let’s just get down to the nitty gritty. After beating most of the levels and finally nearing the end on void mode, I suddenly encountered an error. Now it wasn’t just any bug like randomly dying or powers failing, but it completely gave me no credit on a level I had already finished in The City, void mode, the second to last level. Mind you, this level took me about 30 minutes to complete due to how hard it was, and now, it doesn’t even give me credit. First, I tried waiting another 2 minutes, but as expected, nothing happened. Next I tried restarting the app and waiting another additional 5 minutes, but still, nothing. I don’t understand how exactly this bug can happen, but it severely impacted my thoughts about this game, especially when the ending levels are near-impossible. Sure, I get it, it’s an old game, but shouldn’t that make it have a ton of updates that fixes bugs as significant as this? Other than that, pretty good game, but would like some answers, and will now have to unfortunately spend another 30 minutes of my life completing a hard level I already completed.
