The story in "Nimbus Infinity" has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment over its brevity and lack of depth compared to its predecessor, "Project Nimbus." Critics note that the narrative feels rushed, contains plot holes, and lacks emotional engagement, often coming across as generic and unfinished. While some appreciate the new storytelling approach and character interactions, the overall consensus is that the story needs significant fleshing out and improvement to match the expectations set by the original game.
- “The story is amazing and the characters are likable.”
- “Also, there is some humor implemented in the storyline which personally I like a lot!”
- “The ace combat-esque storytelling is there and the voice actors did a good job on this game.”
- “The story is extremely bare-bones compared to Project Nimbus's so-so but serviceable story.”
- “There's a hint of a minor subplot where the red-highlight main character and the blonde scientist girl talk about their parents and the expectations they had growing up as kids, but that doesn't go anywhere substantial, same for the main story... because the campaign officially ends right as you're getting used to the general mission flow and format, which is disappointing.”
- “Story feels like a mess and lacks a lot of content that Project Nimbus provided with its pre-mission briefings.”

The gameplay of "Nimbus Infinity" has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the dual-wielding mechanics and responsive mech flight controls, while others criticize the overall performance, poor frame rates, and lack of content compared to its predecessor. Although the core gameplay is deemed fun and has potential, many feel it lacks the depth and variety expected from a sequel, often describing it as an unfinished spinoff. The user interface has also been noted as cluttered, detracting from the overall experience.
- “It had great gameplay involving responsive mech flight controls and an adequate lock-on system (automatic lock-on for the easy difficulty).”
- “Though I don't regret buying Nimbus Infinity for eleven dollars on sale, as I do like the mech gameplay and the solid weapon selection.”
- “Game's got a lot of potential and I for one am excited and very much delighted that Nimbus Infinity has made a lot of good improvements to the game and its mechanics.”
- “It has okay gameplay while it lasts, but with so much less variety, it's like playing a weird unfinished spinoff campaign of the original plot rather than an actual sequel that improves upon or at least matches the quality of the original.”
- “But the gameplay is simply awful.”
- “Absolutely every aspect of the gameplay feels completely weightless and empty.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning artwork and aesthetic appeal, with many reviewers highlighting the impressive visuals and combat choreography. However, there are significant concerns regarding optimization, as players report struggling to achieve stable frame rates even on low settings, suggesting that the game is demanding on hardware. Overall, while the graphics are visually appealing, the performance issues detract from the experience for many users.
- “First off, the graphics are stunning.”
- “The combat choreography is actually solid and the visuals are stunning.”
- “Environments have a nice aesthetic.”
- “Seems good but horribly optimized. I can usually run ultra to high graphics on most games, but with this on the lowest possible settings, it's barely 40 steady fps. Don't buy this until it's fixed.”
- “I've just played the first mission of Nimbus Infinity and I struggle to reach even 60 fps with every graphical setting on off/low during the first battle, despite the fact that I own a decent computer.”
- “Even at everything on the lowest graphics, I can never reach consistent 60 fps.”

The optimization of Nimbus Infinity has been widely criticized, with players reporting poor performance, frequent crashes, and low frame rates even on minimal settings. Many users noted that the game struggles to maintain a steady frame rate, particularly during intense action sequences, and overall, it requires significant polish to enhance the gaming experience. While some aspects of gameplay show promise, the current optimization issues detract heavily from the enjoyment of the game.
- “I feel that once this game is optimized a little more, it's going to be a solid hit.”
- “This game looks great but performance dips sometimes.”
- “I have tested on a 1050 and it runs smoothly, but only if everything is low/off and when I’m flying in the sky without too much happening in the surroundings.”
- “Nimbus Infinity is a really disappointing sequel after the original Project Nimbus. The performance is very poor, and it continues to crash consistently. The frame rate is really low, which hammers the game experience into the ground. The story is somewhat okay; at least it made me care about the main protagonist. However, the content is lacking compared to the original. The UI takes the worst aspects of both versions of the original game (the original release and the console port) and combines them into one package, making it more cluttered than ever before. The gameplay does have a good part; you can dual wield, and both arms have a nice variety of guns that make gameplay a little more dynamic. Anyway, I am still looking forward to the next installment from this franchise, and I hope they will improve upon it.”
- “Performance is still a problem, specifically when a lot of missiles are on screen.”
- “Also, it's not optimized well, so it runs at around a max of 60fps in-game on my RTX 3080 on the default settings.”
