    For me, the story and theming of Neversong embody a two-thousand-year-old statement of wisdom for us all: You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Neversong has a strong identity in that it is a short, colorful experience – it doesn't try to be more than it is.

    Neversong is nearly the perfect game for the genre. Aside from the few issues that I mentioned, and few they are, it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with side-scrolling puzzle game mechanics. The story is dark, beautiful, and haunting in a way that only a few games have been able to capture before. If you’re thinking of the next title to pick up and scratch that psychological narrative itch, Neversong is the clear choice.

    Neversong might not be the greatest platformer as such, but it’s its story and narrative how it connects with the player. If you want a deeper take on the genre, this might be your game.

    Despite giving the sense of some underdeveloped gameplay mechanics, Neversong manages to tell a dark tale about child trauma in a poetic, nightmarish narrative, using odd characters, exceptional art and strong symbolism.

    It has just enough bells and whistles to suck you into its world, but not enough to compel your immersion.

Player movement has you feeling as though your character has weight. Every step has purpose and there is never a full moment. From a very small indie developer, this game is a beautiful work of art in everyway. Fantastic game!… Expand

The story is simple until you progress in the ending level. It's a good story about a delicate and painful subject for all of us. It's also an horror story. The graphics are stylized like a simple 2D with a childish look. The fighting is ok. The control can be frustrating, especially with those swinging objects. Otherwise, it's very tight with a controller. The sounds are pretty interesting and the music is decent. I give it 82%. This is not a children game but if you like a twisted and serious story, with some intriguing puzzles, it's for you. The game takes 4-5 hours to complete.… Expand
