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.”
Siliconera (9/10)
“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.”
PCGamesN (8/10)
“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.”
Nintendo Life and Push Square also gave the game a solid 9 out of 10.
