Question 1

What are the pros of Neva?

Accepted Answer

Phenomenal art direction and stunning hand-drawn animations. A masterfully composed soundtrack that enhances the emotional atmosphere. A touching and impactful story that resonates deeply with players. Beautifully designed environments and landscapes. Successfully blends platforming and exploration into a cohesive artistic experience.

Question 2

What are the cons of Neva?

Accepted Answer

Combat mechanics are very basic and can feel repetitive or unrewarding. The game is relatively short, with a completion time of around 4 hours. The camera is often very zoomed out, making it difficult to see characters or navigate certain sections. Lack of meaningful character progression or power-ups to keep the gameplay loop fresh. Platforming and combat can be surprisingly frustrating compared to the game's chill aesthetic.

Question 3

Is Neva worth buying?

Accepted Answer

Neva is a visually and aurally stunning follow-up to Gris that delivers a deeply emotional narrative through breathtaking landscapes and animation. While it successfully elevates video games to an art form, some players find the newly introduced combat mechanics frustratingly basic and the overall experience quite short.
