Is NervBox worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players who enjoy building their own physics-based play spaces
- Friend groups seeking sandbox sessions with up to 8 players
- Players who prefer open-ended experiments and player-made arenas over a fixed campaign
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly directed campaign may find the open-ended sandbox structure too loose.
- Those wanting a progression-focused game may find that the emphasis on self-created activities offers limited direction between sessions.
- Solo players looking for a single-player experience may not suit the multiplayer focus.
Our take on NervBox
The open sandbox gives players room to invent activities, but that freedom comes at the cost of a fixed sequence of objectives. Its play sessions depend on what participants build or choose from the available modes.
What is NervBox?
NervBox is a multiplayer VR physics sandbox where players can build, experiment, and play together.
Its physics-based body interactions affect objects and other players, and tools let players spawn objects and connect them with welds or joints. Players can create arenas and parkour courses, or use maps such as a warehouse, a city park, and an empty space as settings for builds and skirmishes. Modes include an open sandbox, Capture the Flag, and NervBall. The game also has guns with loading and handling actions, plus melee weapons such as swords and bats. Lobbies support up to 8 players, with private and public sessions. Mod support is described as upcoming, so it is not included as a current feature.
