@@TheToweler It was hyped up with lots of promises and AMAZING and beatiful storylines and openworlds just to be released as a buggy mess with horrible optimisation and the devs desperatly trying to fix it but to no evail and now the devs abandoned it due to low income and Covid leaving it dead
Man I remember Nostos. When I first heard about it, I was still in high school. I got my first job at a warehouse and worked a lot of overtime to make enough money to get my hands on a computer and a VR just so I could buy this game. The soundtracks to this game are masterpieces and will stick with my for the rest of my life. I know I'm being a little overdramatic but the game really did leave an impact on me and is the sole reason for me working so hard to get a computer. It's a shame that the game turned out the way it did but I will always carry on hope that one day, something similar may come along and bring us the VR experience that Nostos unfortunately could not. RIP Nostos, an amazing concept with great soundtracks that will be remembered by the few people who's hearts you touched.
I still come back to the ost cause of how well it was made. Im thankful at least the artists, penkin and the singers put their all into it even if it was doomed to fail by the studio
Still one of the most amazing music pieces there have ever been. Kevin Penkin and Emi Evans. This is just... breathtaking. And yet, most people will never listen to it.
I am still listening to it. The soundtrack is so beautiful that I could imagine being transported into an open world of forests and ruin, meeting new friends that I can travel with, and discovering hidden mysteries. I fell in love with Emi Evans' voice from the NieR series. But now, this is a sad song about a beautiful world that never had the chance to come to life. Maybe one day, it will...
Wait, Kevin Penkin helped make this!? Ive been listening to this for the past few days and had no idea he was involved. That explains why it sounds so good!
@@CoDE_EleveN_ In fact if I got here, not because of the game (which I have no idea what it's about), but exploring more of Kevin Penkin's work, I love him.
I hope that one day, Nostos OST will be purchased / re-used into a new VR mmorpg. Not just any VR game, maybe 10 years down the line from now, when we get closer to "full dive" VR. I want to hear this song immersed into a new world..
@@rheiartaghlia124 uuh.. idk about that. It's just an expression. A match made in heaven means two people coming together and resulting in a very succesful outcome. I was referring to Kevin Penkin and Emi Evans working together on a song.
I'm commenting here in case anyone wants to try and revive this game. I have backups of the games files including its music, and seeing how its practically abandonware there should be no problem distributing it. reply if you want them.
@@ianmitchell5979 i said i had the game's files, not "working copies". Booting the included exe takes you to the main menu but you cant join any servers, as they dont exist anymore. i was hoping that one day someone would create a custom launcher for it or something, thusly letting work on it continue.
this shit is incredibly sad, you can tell the people who made this game really cared and loved the game it sucks this is what gaming has come to, that things that would revolutionize the industry are put under crunch just to turn a profit and refund investors immediately :/
I can only hope the gameplay gets better as time progresses, and not eventually abandoned. The move NetEase pulled on Nostos' release may very well be the death sentence of the game that is proclaimed to be 'the bridge between PC and VR'. Beautiful artstyle but a failure non-the-less if the GAMEPLAY of the GAME can't backup the asthetics...
Great musical score, refreshing, and vivid art/visuals...it's a damn shame how this title ended up. It really had a lot of potential and had the opportunity to really make a big impact on the VR side of things with how it was marketed. Just a shame they didn't update it at all, and instead put out a PlayStation release knowing full well what they were doing was a blatant cash grab. Too bad they didn't just sell the rights/assets over to a dev that cared.

cause the music made us have hope for a game that would be as dutiful as the music. sadly we didnt andd its a damn fucking shame cause the music is so good
God this game could of been something amazing.. such a shame... I followed the game all the way till it's released and bought it day 1... My god was I disappointed and sad about how the game turned out. And I just now found out the game was taken off steam and even the servers got shutdown so you cant even play it
I heard about Nostos before it was released, and then I heard what a terrible mess it was, so I planned to wait a while before buying so things could get fixed up. Then the pandemic happened, and the next time I checked on the game, it was gone. Even knowing how poorly-reviewed it was, I wish I had tried it. I feel like I missed out on something wondrous, like this game would have made me feel a way that precious few other things have, if only the devs had been allowed more time and resources. Maybe in the future, something will take its place...
Im 5 months late but he cant put it on spotify because its not his music its made by Kevin Penkin and he has his own profile on spotify as long as he doesnt upload it there you cant upload it on your spotify
@@gabrielpalummieri544 I ended up never buying it even was in some nostos revamp servers on discord still a shame. I still come back and appreciate the art and music at times. Makes me sad
This game could have been so amazing. They just needed to give it more time than they gave it to become what it should have been. I know if they just waited and continued to patiently work on it, it would have been amazing. But at least we have an amazing and beautiful sound track and ost.
god i hate that most good indi games get sent to the shadow realm cos ig that's how life is, this and worlds adrift are some of my favourite games of all time its a shame they wont ever see the light of day anymore.
A sad song about a beautiful world that couldn't come to life.
Nostos. What a marvelous concept. What a beautiful, magnificent, immense idea. What a shame, for how it ended up.
Hey Jacob, do you know anything what happened with this game?
@@TheToweler It was hyped up with lots of promises and AMAZING and beatiful storylines and openworlds just to be released as a buggy mess with horrible optimisation and the devs desperatly trying to fix it but to no evail and now the devs abandoned it due to low income and Covid leaving it dead
I'm glad we got this gorgeous soundtrack at least. :) I hope they never take down this stuff.
Beautifully said. I don't think I've ever felt sadness for the downfall of a game, until Nostos came and left.
Man, this game suddenly came rushing back to me tonight and I was finally able to track it down only to find out I'm a year too late.

I had the same experience dude, I truly hope another game will come and succeed with this idea

Its truly so sad knowing how many people will never know of this song's existence due to the tragic outcome of the game.

@@peacockgames4364 Yeah, it's very sad because it's an amazing collaboration that will most likely go unnoticed ;w;

Why couldn’t you be better? It nearly brings me to tears hearing this and thinking about how things could’ve been different.
tfw that beautiful main theme you've been listening to up until now was only a sound bite of the real thing

Would they be compatible on a Quest 2 ?
@@BananaChicken21 most likely, but there's no way to tell since the servers have been shut down
Hey, is there any way I could get a copy?
How would you have working copies? Not even owners of the copies can play it now, as it requires a central server.

I'm convinced that Kevin etheric style of music could make even an hack&slash game profound.

Compared to the release, the game has gotten a lot better and it is clear that the direction of the game is improving greatly
I am afraid of the death of this beautifull game
@@wolfbrother8043 afraid so, the moment they were working to improve the game was the worst time.
Hopefully Nostos ends up like No Man's Sky rather then just being abandoned.
@@TotallyURGrandpa got some bad news for you
I'm sorry this game didn't work out as hoped. Hopefully some day it is picked back up again. In the mean time, thank you for this gorgeous soundtrack!
Rip nostos. I had such high hopes. Your beauty will live on in my dreams
Rip nostos. Your memory will forever will on in our hearts.
The Music and Art are so good I hate that the game is so laggy and contentless
but someone said recently its been added something that make it "contented", is it true?
i don't play the game, so idk about it.
sparta salto some what it just seems a little barren

@@twilight2146maybe its alien languge 😁😁😁 not joking
Listening to this while the snow twinkles down brings a tear to my eye
Wow this is beautiful, really wish I can like this more than once
Very beautiful song, using it for a reference for an ost for my game project. Just wish this game was still alive.
what a song, RIP nostos
I still listen to this soundtrack to keep that small ember in me alive, the ember that is Nostos and will always appear in my memory and dreams often.
I have this game still installed on my PC only to stay in the title screen and hear this song 😢
Beautiful.
Kevin Penkin needs to start a band with Emi Evans and Takeshi Saito. How cool would it be to see them live!
always in memory
I listening to this and I cried.....
I don't know why.
Because the music made us wish for something else that we got? Me too bud
It's by the person who did Made in Abyss' soundtrack
cause the music made us have hope for a game that would be as dutiful as the music. sadly we didnt andd its a damn fucking shame cause the music is so good
A secret corner for me on youtube...
Yes

It was boring to be 100% honest. Nothing to really do weird mechanics and everyone looked the same. Very laggy. Sad to see it never recover gg
I would bu y the entire soundtrack from the undeveloped game files if i could...
Same here
Also you should put this on Spotify
Im 5 months late but he cant put it on spotify because its not his music its made by Kevin Penkin and he has his own profile on spotify as long as he doesnt upload it there you cant upload it on your spotify
I can’t listen to this shit with out tearing up man
Unfortunately, the ost is the only good thing about Nostos.
Don't forget about the art
Not even soundtrack god Kevin penkin could save this game
I still need to buy nostos...
don't, just admire the music, don't hurt yourself with a company that bit off more than they can chew.
@@gabrielpalummieri544 I ended up never buying it even was in some nostos revamp servers on discord still a shame. I still come back and appreciate the art and music at times. Makes me sad

What could have been.
This game could have been so amazing. They just needed to give it more time than they gave it to become what it should have been. I know if they just waited and continued to patiently work on it, it would have been amazing. But at least we have an amazing and beautiful sound track and ost.
Still waiting on the lyrics version
This would be fitting in a Nier game.
Same vocalist/lyricist!
RIP NOSTOS😢
What happened with the game? The ost its so good, and I don't find too many things about the game
god i hate that most good indi games get sent to the shadow realm cos ig that's how life is, this and worlds adrift are some of my favourite games of all time its a shame they wont ever see the light of day anymore.
the game has been deleted from steam.............................
♥️♥️
the only think i liked about this game is the music only, i was thinking it will be vr mmorpg
Damn Nostos, u could be better
