Neva – a new Xbox and PlayStation gem?

Ready to embark on an emotional journey through a decaying world? Neva launches on Xbox, Switch, PC and PlayStation.

Nomada Studio, the creators of the critically acclaimed indie gem Gris, and publisher Devolver Digital have released Neva a poignant action-adventure game that explores the profound bond between a young woman and her wolf companion.

Launching today on Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5, Neva promises a captivating experience filled with stunning visuals, heartfelt storytelling, and a touch of melancholy.

A Bond Forged in Darkness

Neva tells the story of Alba, a young woman who forms an unbreakable connection with a wolf cub after a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Together, they embark on a perilous journey through a once-beautiful world that is slowly succumbing to decay.

As they navigate treacherous landscapes and confront dangerous creatures, their bond deepens, evolving from a simple companionship into a profound and life-changing relationship.  

A Journey of Growth and Resilience

Witness the growth and evolution of both Alba and her wolf companion as they face the challenges of a dying world. The wolf matures from a playful cub into a powerful adult, while Alba learns to harness her inner strength and resilience.

Together, they must overcome adversity, confront their fears, and find a way to survive in a world that seems determined to tear them apart. It’s that premise which has ensured Neva found a place in our ‘Best Games of October’ article.

A Visual and Auditory Masterpiece

Building upon the artistic foundation of Gris (a game that we dropped a 5/5 review score on), Neva features a meticulously crafted world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and a haunting original score composed by Berlinist, the talented musicians behind Gris’s evocative soundtrack.

The game’s visuals and music create a truly immersive and emotional experience that will resonate with players long after the credits roll.

Embrace the Action

Unlike its predecessor, Neva introduces light combat elements, allowing players to utilise a sword and their wolf companion to fend off monstrous creatures.

The intuitive combat system seamlessly blends with the game’s exploration and narrative focus, adding a new layer of depth and engagement to the experience.

An Unforgettable Journey Awaits

Neva promises a poignant and unforgettable adventure that explores themes of companionship, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. With its stunning visuals, emotional narrative, and captivating soundtrack, this game is poised to become another indie gem from Nomada Studio. At least, that’s what we think and our full review of Neva on Xbox backs that up. Another 5/5 score?

Neva launches on Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 today, priced around £16.99.

The question is, are you prepared to embark on a journey of growth, resilience, and unwavering companionship in a world teetering on the brink of collapse? Let us know in the comments.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
