About The Game:

Nether is a first-person, survival-shooter that introduces players to a desolated, sprawling urban cityscape (based loosely on Chicago). Nether features core survival elements, requiring players to scavenge for resources in order to survive as well as crafting. More importantly, Nether brings unique gameplay elements to the genre, and brings the experience to a new level. The city spans several hundred blocks and players can access most of the buildings, including multi-level skyscrapers that provide huge vantage points. Danger is around every corner, sometimes only a few yards from you, raising tension to a new level. Nether also presents players with a meld of PvE and PvP that fosters unique, emergent gameplay and forces big decisions when it comes to trusting other players. The enemies, called “Nethers,” are unique and each species possesses both demonic and human qualities, making them fast, smart and hard to kill. This also factors in when it comes to working together to defend safe zones or clear out structures. Finally, by setting world objectives, Nether adds another dimension to the survival genre, which further sets it apart from other online games.

I was thinking about buying this the other day, is it any good? it looks interesting but also looks like it could get quite boring quite fast.

I bought it a week ago and right now I only have one problem with it: every time there's a patch you have to re-download the whole game, or at least that's how it's been so far. (size is around 1.8GB)

Hopefully they fix that.
As for game-play, the mechanics are a bit choppy and animations aren't the best, and in the 2 hours that I played, I couldn't find a single weapon (just 12 gauge rounds on an abandoned watch-tower). I suggest you wait until a few more patches are released just so you get a feel of how it's going to be. Also: you might want to check the community hub for this game every now and then.

There's PvP if PvE isn't really your cup of tea.

What I like the most about this game is the fact that it's truly open-world. Possibly 90% of the buildings' interiors and rooftops are accessible.And with 64 players per server, that's got to make for a great experience.

Do those look like zombies to you?

It could be fun if the "zombies" didn't look like some alien looney tunes

And what about the game storyline?

And what about the game storyline?

It's an online game.. no story-line other than the fact that it's post-apocalyptic. You just log into a server and play.
