Hardcore Gamer (9/10)
“Neva is another winner from Nomada Studio, but it’s also much more than that. It’s a drop-dead gorgeous game with truly fun platforming action, puzzles and combat, with hauntingly-beautiful moments. But the titular character is the true highlight, easily encapsulating the biggest strengths as you see this wolf grow up alongside Alba. It’s a journey of motherhood that takes the form of one of the year’s best platformers, and just one of the year’s best games, period.”

“Neva is a sweet little game that left a significant impression on me. Every frame looks like a painting, there’s a surprising amount of challenge and the way it builds these characters without saying a word is masterful. If you’re a fan of short, artful experiences in games, you need to play Neva.”

“Neva is a poignant platformer that’s a worthy successor to the award-winning Gris. Its intricate and stunning Ghibliesque world is a visual marvel, and while its combat isn’t wholly free from frustration, its stirring narrative ensures no dry eye in the room.”
Digital Spy (8/10)
It’s an evocative story that is beautifully told and has plenty of heart, and one that feels increasingly relevant in the context of the world that we live in.
