Neva doesn’t revolutionize the cinematic platformer, but it is a worthwhile experience. Aspiring parents will especially want to check this out. On top of the touching story, the platforming and combat ask for enough player input to not become a walking simulator snoozefest. This is what Gris and Inside should have been. Is it really too much to ask more from the player than just pushing the stick in one direction to solve repetitive puzzles with absurdly simple solutions? You are games, not art exhibits!

While not a bad game, it does fall short of it's predecessor GRIS. A lot more action focused but not enough challenging and iterative to keep the combat not feel repetitive.

Environment's graphics and combat are rather lame. First hour into the game, I just wanted the game to finish asap.
