Digging the combat more now that I got the ability to throw Neva at the enemy. The platforming is now more fun too now that I have the ability to ride her. Onto chapter 3.

Finished chapter 2. That boss battle was a bit more interesting and had a great epic swell to the music. I loved the aesthetic of that chapter but the foggy atmosphere made the platforming a bit annoying. Difficult to see the edges of the platforms and the climbable walls. Still, a nice relaxing game. Playing on my ROG Ally X.

I wish this was more of a walking simulator. I love the environments, the swell of the music, the flitting of the giant dog around the map. The combat is just doing nothing for me and almost a bit of a drag when I get to the arenas. It doesn’t help that they seem to repeat the arenas with the same monsters a couple times, only mixing it up with small variations.

Other than the opening, I am enjoying the relaxing, simple mechanics, and early parts of this game. I love what they are doing with the art and atmosphere as they run through the environments. Gives me such good vibes. I needed this right now.

Genuinely surprised that this isn’t a more talked about game this year. Truly one of the most stunning games of 2024. And I feel like the action and platforming fall in a nice middle ground. Not too hard for those who might struggle with either, but not too easy that fans of more challenging material will be bored.

Why do I keep playing some of the best games of 2024 after I already made up my list of favourites? 🤦🏽

Neva is just breathtaking. So hauntingly beautiful, with amazing visuals and music.

Combat is ok, and it seems like Nomada improved thier platforming design too

Okay, so I am finishing up Spiritfarer (I have a "Have Stella and Daffodil accept death" quest lingering in my X button menu), and then I plan to finish Zelda and maybe the Plucky Squire.

Okay, so I am finishing up Spiritfarer (I have a "Have Stella and Daffodil accept death" quest lingering in my X button menu), and then I plan to finish Zelda and maybe the Plucky Squire. When I was done with these three, I was thinking of picking up Metaphor which I'm assuming is massive. However, Neva is out now and is only $20 USD. Before I saw the price, I said to myself maybe I'd pick it up if it was thirty bucks, but twenty dollars I can definitely justify. The only thing I am uncertain if I can justify is the time commitment. I'm expecting this to be relatively short as I beat Nomada's last game, Gris, in one two-ish hour play session. HLTB has no times for Neva's length yet.

TLDR If you have played this or have heard from others, how long of a game is Neva?
