Quietly sitting at an 88 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. More story than an adventure game — fantasy, drama first, and the adventure game parts serve the narrative. Best experienced alone, preferably with nowhere to be.

About this game

Neva is an action-adventure game developed by Nomada Studio and published by Devolver Digital. The gameplay combines side-scrolling platforming with environmental puzzles and combat. Neva has been praised for its stunning art style, emotional storytelling, and refined gameplay mechanics, building upon the foundation laid by GRIS.

Neva chronicles the story of Alba, a young woman bound to a curious wolf cub following a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Together, they embark on a perilous journey through a once-beautiful world as it slowly decays around them. Their relationship evolves as they learn to work together, helping one another to brave increasingly dangerous situations. The wolf grows from a rebellious cub to an imposing adult while seeking to forge her own identity, testing Alba’s love and their commitment to one another. As the cursed world threatens to overwhelm them, Alba and her courageous companion will do whatever it takes to survive and make a new home, together.
