“I liked it overall. I had thought that it was a metroidvania but I just didn't research before buying XD. Neva is a side-scrolling platformer with some light combat. I say light cause I didn't find combat all that…”
“All in all this is a great game. I loved the art style both as you play and in the cutscenes. the movement mechanics in the game are very smooth and forgiving when in combat. The story was compelling and did me me feel…”

“Yes, it's very pretty. Yes, the dog is cute. However, the gameplay just wasn't there after 14 minutes, and I wasn't motivated to keep hoping gameplay would eventually show up.”

“Another stunning counterpart to Gris. Beautiful game, and even though I don't relate to many themes of the game I still thoroughly enjoyed it. At times I found some of the story and themes harder to pick up on and not…”
“I have a serious problem feeling emotions of any kind, so unsurprisingly, I couldn't connect with the story or the music of the game. Platformers aren't really my kind of game. BUT... the art is beautiful.”

“Man...I really wanted to like this one. The art and the aesthetic are gorgeous. At first glance, the game looks like the kind of 2D jump and slash platformer that I love to play. But the bad outweighs the good. - There…”
“The visuals and soundtrack are stunning and definitely on par with Gris. The combat feels a little bit clunky but it's not the focus of the game so it wasn't a big deal to me. Some of the fog and extremely zoomed out…”
