Nomada Studio’s Neva is out on October 15th for Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and PS5. However, its reviews are live, with critics showering extensive acclaim on the platforming adventure. Check out the accolades trailer below for their thoughts.
Neva is about the titular wolf pup, who travels alongside Alba as a mysterious corruption engulfs the land, ruining its plants and wildlife. Players control Alba, initially protecting Neva from the corruption’s festering creatures. As the seasons pass and the wolf matures, the duo works together to navigate the shifting terrain, becoming closer and facing the darkness head-on.
Like the studio’s previous title, Gris, Neva utilizes a hand-drawn art style, with each season represented in startling visual detail. Its platforming is more challenging, and there’s more extensive combat, with Alba using a sword to fight and eventually commanding Neva to tackle foes. Check out our review (we gave it a nine out of 10) for more details.
