X Neva review: A genuine work of art… Yes, I cried

It’s been just over a year since I finally played GRIS for the first time, and it was one of the most memorable games I played in 2023. Now, the follow-up title from indie developer Nomada Studio is here, and it exceeds my expectations.

Where GRIS is a journey of grief and fear in which you passively struggle through your trauma, Neva tells a story of gaining strength in loss, of moving on and in so doing learning to protect what matters to you, and of cycles. It’s not a direct continuation or even shares many similarities with its predecessor, but Neva does prove that the magic of GRIS’ storytelling wasn’t a fluke for Nomada Studio.
