A spiritual journey awaits you in Neva
Nomada Studio and Devolver Digital released their latest title Neva this week. Here at COGconnected, we praise the game for its thoughtful storytelling, impressive presentation, and solid puzzle platforming, giving it a solid 87 out of 100. Now that the reviews from other sources are finally here, check it out now.
Unconditional player (9/10)
“Neva is another Nomada Studio winner, but she is also much more than that. It's an incredibly beautiful game with really fun platforming action, puzzles and combat, with hauntingly beautiful moments. But the main character is the highlight, as he easily sums up the greatest strengths as you watch this wolf grow alongside Alba. It's a journey of motherhood that takes the form of one of the best platformers of the year, and simply one of the best games of the year, period.”
Silicone (9/10)
“Neva is a sweet little game that left a big impression on me. Every frame looks like a painting, there is a surprising amount of challenge and the way he builds these characters without saying a word is masterful. If you are a fan of short, clever experiences in games, you should play Neva.”
PCN Games (8/10)
“Neva is a moving platformer that is a worthy successor to the award-winning Gris. Its intricate and stunning ghibliesque world is a visual marvel, and while its combat is not entirely free of frustration, its moving narrative ensures that there will be no dry eyes in the room.”
Digital Spy (8/10)
“It's an evocative story, beautifully told and full of heart, and one that feels increasingly relevant in the context of the world we live in.”
Nintendo Life and Push Square also gave the game a solid 9 out of 10.
