Nivalis Nights Reviews
Nivalis Nights is one of the most original, visually stunning, and entertaining management games of recent years, yet it is held back and undermined by a highly unstable technical performance.

Nivalis Nights is a solid cyberpunk business sim with strong atmosphere, detailed restaurant management, and plenty of side content. Its thin life-sim systems and rough performance keep it from being the complete city-life RPG.
There are things I would like to see improved in Nivalis Nights. The tutorials need more explanation, the map needs to be more useful, and the quest journal and indicators need some work. The romance system could be clearer, fast travel can be inconvenient, and the metro is a nightmare. There are also some glitches and crashes that need a little more polish. None of these issues stopped me from enjoying Nivalis Nights, but they did make some parts of the game harder to navigate than they needed to be. What I really enjoyed is how much there is to do. You run your business while trying to make money, grow ingredients, complete quests, build relationships, and figure out what is happening around you. There is absolutely no way to turn your brain off, but that is also part of what kept me playing. I came into Nivalis Nights expecting a very particular combination of things that I happen to love, but what I didn't expect was how it would enthral me.
