Summary
NEVES is a unique puzzle game that challenges players to think critically as they align pieces and build figures that correspond to a silhouette. Each puzzle features seven wooden blocks, requiring the player to combine them to form specific figures ranging from simple items like a sword or key to more complicated ones such as birds or airplanes. Targeted towards a more mature audience, NEVES still appeals to anyone who enjoys challenging puzzles. And because of the unique stylus controls of the DS, controlling the puzzle pieces in NEVES is a cinch; tilting, flipping, and moving the blocks is as simple as dragging and tapping. But be careful, just because controlling the pieces is easy doesn't mean the puzzles have to be. With over 500 different puzzles to choose from and four different modes including puzzle mode, count mode, time mode, and versus mode, players will have countless hours of fun solving puzzles of varying difficulty. [Yuke's]

Worth Playing
Neves has a simplistic elegance that is incredibly elusive in the gaming industry.
Read Full Review >Gamestyle
Neves’ strength is its central concept, which is compelling, elegant and creative. It’s a must for any puzzle fan.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
Neves is an approachable puzzle game that deserves induction into the Touch Generations series for its right-brain challenge and touch controls. The sheer number of puzzles combined with the increasing difficulty levels of different modes will keep players coming back time and again.
Read Full Review >Destructoid
I fully expected to like NEVES, as I enjoy most puzzle games, but I really am astounded at how much fun and contentment can come from something so very, very simple.
Read Full Review >Deeko
All things said and done, Neves offers some fantastic puzzle gaming action for your gaming dollar.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Neves is an addictive puzzle solving experience. Other than the drawback of the $30 price, my only real gripe with the game is that the jazz inspired soundtrack gets repetitive. The gameplay may grow old to some, but if you're looking for a mind-bending experience, Neves is a game that will keep you thinking.
Read Full Review >Cubed3
It has been said in the past that the most simple of puzzle ideas can oft be the most addictive, and this is most definitely the case with Neves.
Read Full Review >Zentendo
In a platform where there are hundreds of puzzle games, Neves manages to stand out with a spot on price and is just enjoyable and addictive.
Read Full Review >IGN
Fun? Yes. Appealing to the casual crowd? Yes. Worth a purchase? Yes…with a "but." Neves is a addictive puzzle game that's not the usual DS fare, but it's just ten bucks too expensive - this game needs to be at the "simple fun" price of Brain Age and Tetris and other basic Nintendo DS games.
Read Full Review >GameZone
Planet Puzzle League set the bar extremely high for puzzle games, especially with the use of Wi-Fi; and while NEVES doesn’t come close to the slick presentation of PPL, it has a very solid gameplay mechanic that will be attractive to fans of the game.
Read Full Review >GameTap
Neves is a simple game, but it offers quick-hit gameplay that leaves you feeling a bit smarter at the end of your time with it.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
To a big DS gamer the title might feel a bit empty the whole way through, but for the casual market it's aimed at, it really is exactly what they need and want.
Read Full Review >Pocket Gamer UK
An intuitive and absorbing puzzle game with a solid central concept. It just needs to branch out a little in order to join the puzzling elite.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
NEVES isn't going to win any awards for originality, or even for presentation - great controls aside, it's all incredibly minimalistic.
Read Full Review >n-Revolution Magazine UK
It should be unutterably dull but it's weirdly addictive. [Issue#21, p.89]
VideoGamer
A word of warning though: this game has the most annoying background music EVER, a jazz-style soundtrack that completely destroys the languid atmosphere of the gameplay. Play it with the sound off, or you'll find yourself being driven slowly mad.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Just know that the game does one thing, and it does it well. Admittedly, Neves is a simple, no frills affair, but its addictive nature and robust length makes it just as hard to put down as any other quality puzzler out there.
Read Full Review >My Gamer
The game’s casual appeal and pick-up-and-play attitude makes this an entertaining game. However, the lacking audio, overall presentation, and inaccurate controls does not justify the $30 price tag.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
Touch-screen controls will help you achieve Zen with this large collection of tangram-style puzzles.
Read Full Review >Total Video Games
A very simple premise that will no doubt appeal to the DS' ever-increasing casual market, NEVES is strangely captivating in small doses - though it doesn't quite balance the gameplay between being addictive and frustrating.
Read Full Review >Thunderbolt
For conundrum fans though, this should be welcomed with open arms, as the relaxing nature of the title is sure to fit into the lives of many with a delicate ease.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
I think the game designers needed to put more effort into this game. This game is really fun and enjoyable but comes up short as far as graphics and sound.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Riveting stuff, no? No. And neither is this DS game. [Jan 2008, p.65]
Level7.nu
Tangram puzzles controlled by easy to learn touch mechanics. With several hundred puzzles you’ll find plenty to do here, but there is limited variation between the puzzles and solving them becomes tedious in the long run. Neves will however be a worthwhile package when the price tag goes down a notch.
Read Full Review >DarkZero
I am a patient guy but the extreme repetitiveness will annoy even the most enthusiastic puzzle fans.
Read Full Review >Video Game Talk
For full price, though, there are just too many other games that outshine Neves in almost every way and it’s better to just skip it altogether.
