Lots of content with 3 completely different characters
Many different bosses and enemies, bosses change between each run
Beautiful art, nothing lewd here, just a bunch of gorgeous vampire hunters
If you enjoyed the trailer's music you'll enjoy the others
Gameplay is fun and smooth
Interesting vampire/corruption mechanic
Well optimized, only met one small bug in upgrade menus
Balance seems fair to me (killed the final boss on the easier path as I wrote this)

I definitely recommend this roguelike for this fair price.
Easy to tell lots of efforts went into making this game, it's worth rewarding it.

This game never stopped surprising me. I didn't expect such high quality.
Trust the reviews on this one, try going in without watching trailers or gameplay if possible.

Praying for you 🕯️ O Great Mita 💝

Musics were amazing and game was tons of fun. A lot more challenging than I expected but completing all the levels on hard was very rewarding.
Had a great time !

I do not recommend this game, to anyone.

I bought Neva day 1 since I'm a GRIS fan. Been waiting about a month and a half to play it, waiting until I had all the time needed to immerse myself in the game and have the best possible experience.
Saying I'm a "GRIS fan" is an understatement, it's one of my favorite games of all time. I think back about it every now and then. Just hearing its music or looking at a few scenes from it is enough to make me emotional, to remind me how much of an amazing game it is.
I wasn't expecting Neva to be like GRIS, I wasn't expecting it to be better or equally as good. But I was expecting the game to make me feel some strong emotions while playing it, any emotion. The only thing I felt was boredom, not really the kind of emotion I was expecting.

The game is pretty, when it wants to. About half the game is in uninspired ruins or bland snowy fields. Being pretty is about all the game has going for it.
The gameplay has combat this time, you dodge when the enemy is about to make a move and spam the attack button, that's pretty much the combat experience from the first enemy to the final boss.
There's no interesting platforming puzzles like GRIS had. Here, you climb walls, double jump, dash and maybe hit a few switches, that's it.
None of the musics were memorable, it's all ambiance music at best. I won't be looking up the OST and listening to it over and over this time around, can't remember a single track after playing through the game.

Story was as uninspiring as it gets. You get a very small twist at the end, for the sake of it. It had no impact on me whatsoever.
I took my time to look for all the secrets too, expecting a small reward near the end at least, got a pointless 2 seconds long cutscene.
I didn't care for the main character at all, other than making a few surprised expressions or saying "Neva", she does nothing at all, she might as well be a doll. Her design was a mess, I have no idea what they were going for with the female black samurai with rosy cheeks, fluffy grey hair and same long fingers as the witch from Snow White.
Watching Neva grow was interesting, but only visually. I expected gameplay to evolve way more around that than it did.

Overall, a big disappointment, I'll forget about this game by tomorrow. I won't make the mistake of buying a game from these devs day 1 again without looking more into what it has to offer, that was on me. Wait for a big sale if you wanna grab it and have an afternoon of holding your left or right button while looking at pretty trees.

And smile I did. Was a great experience.

Tried coming back to it after a few years but game has lost its charm.

Can you truly call yourself a gamer if you don't have 100% achievements on Milking Mira! ?
I think not.

I greatly enjoyed cooking companions, it's a game I still think about every now and then. Sadly, can't say the same about dread weight.

My experience was : two "jumpscares" that didn't get a blink out of me since they came with 0 build up, and a bland game that was over in about an hour.
Seems like most endings are locked behind the first "who to talk to" choice, to get the correct items to solve the two "puzzles". Better hope you decide to talk with the muscle lady from last of us 2.
Story was bare minimum, none of the characters were interesting, nothing was surprising, nothing was scary, no tension, just me being bored the whole time. This is quite far from cooking companions, a game that had me starving for more.

Only memorable moment was meeting the witch face to face for the first time. Memorable for how disappointing it was (she looked like a romcom female main character).
Way to ruin her with a : "you couldn't handle seeing my real form". Get outta here...

Interesting lore and character development, exploring and secret hunting was enjoyable, art was great, decent length (40h for completionist).
Gameplay and music were below mediocre but the writing was good enough to justify a positive review.
I'd wait for a sale.

The 10th time main character explained to someone, very seriously and with a giant stupid grin on her face, that she named herself "Pieberry" because she likes pies and strawberries... I admit I got a little emotional.
Very enjoyable game.
