"Neverdead is a strange, but fascinating creature. Originality is hard to find nowadays, but Neverdead has plenty of it. Many of the game's puzzles require you to deliberately grab hold of an electric conductor until your body explodes into a flaming spark. [February 2012, p.94]"

"Never Dead might be a scrappy mess in places – it's blighted by severe screen-tearing and dialogue so bad it makes the original Resi look like Citizen Kane. Yet it's a game about throwing a man around who's usually missing 75% of his torso, meaning it's impossible to be too scathing of its faults." ... Read full review

"This game has a really interesting premise, but unfortunately it won't take it across the finish line. The biggest innovation of this game – the immortal protagonist – is also the game's biggest flaw. When Bryce blows to bits and pieces, blood pressure rises on the other side of the screen. Stupid plot and clumsy controls are a suitable crown for this ass-fruit. [March 2012"

"This lack of polish wouldn't be nearly as frustrating if not for the fact that the game's primary feature – the dismemberment of the main characters – makes the game less fun than it would have been as just a plain old third-person action game. Sure, it's a unique idea – but not every idea is worth pursuing. In the case of NeverDead, this concept should have been left on the cutting room floor. You could say the same about the game itself." ... Read full review

"NeverDead is a game, and it can be completed. In my opinion, those are the two truths that cushion the space between a D- and an F. Remove those two facts, and you're left with an amateur effort that redefines the boundary between bad game and flat-out punishment. " ... Read full review

It has really good new ideas, good gameplay, good graphics and entertaining story. If you are a gamer that gets frustrated a lot, you will hate this game just like the ones that are pissed off because "they get dismembered a lot". The game difficulty depends on how you approach it. Obviously you cant actually die, but there are many ways to get a "game over" screen, and many of the times you get it, may be because you probably ended up being swallowed. You have ways to upgrade your character that allows to overcome most scenarios. Depending on the enemy you can change tactic by using your sword or guns.

The only thing that should probably be fixed is the fact that "rolling" should not be necessary to re-attach your limbs. And the popping textures. The game doesn't take it self seriously that is why it has really funny moments, and a cheesy but FUN story. The graphics are nice, and the character design is good. Definitively a good first step for a new IP.

The fact that a company is taking risks by creating new IPs this generation is admirable and must be appreciated. This generation is overflowed with FPS, if you hate that, then support this game.… Expand

It'sI enjoyed Neverdead way more than any of the latest Modern Warfare or Black Ops titles... and that said by a huge fan of military FPS. It's fun even if some called the loosing limbs stuff repetitive. In the final boss fights it can get annoying if you do not act quick enough but overall it's quite cool. The mixture of swordplay and gun shooting is fun and satisfying and the occasional puzzles do their job quite well too.
If you love weird stories with classy lines of text, then this is a game you should pick up!
Worth to get a sequel for sure.… Expand

Konami's "NeverDead" tried to be a normal sandbox game, but thanks to the undeniable critical successes "Bulletstorm," "Bayonetta," andKonami's "NeverDead" tried to be a normal sandbox game, but thanks to the undeniable critical successes "Bulletstorm," "Bayonetta," and "Borderlands," it just wasn't a good experience. Just like Ninja Gaiden 3, the controls were pretty disappointing, gameplay is terrible, boss fights just wasn't meant to be played, and story looks incredibly dreadful. I'm a big fan of MegaDeath, but they should've made another album instead of making tracks for a decent but a poor Rob Zombie moment. Anyway, I'm not saying that NeverDead's a bad game, but it just needs a boost of combat, powers, more boss fights, and try to make things right next time. "NeverDead" is one of the most disappointing games of 2012, maybe you should rent it on Redbox or Gamefly if you really want to.… Expand

What can you say about NeverDead... Well it's a really unique game, I'll give it that. I've not played a game where you can rip your head offWhat can you say about NeverDead... Well it's a really unique game, I'll give it that. I've not played a game where you can rip your head off on purpose since MediEvil on Ps1. The gameplay itself is clunky, but clunky gameplay is not what I hate about the game. I hate the fact that it is sooo repetitive, you do the same thing pretty much throughout the entire game, only that the enemies get better at severing your limbs. The gameplay itself is then again decent, I mean it's nothing special but it works. As long as you have a high tolerance level that is. The concept of playing as an immortal demonhunter sounds pretty fun, but somehow they managed to make the game feel... Well, uninspired. The gameplay is mediocre but functional, the music is mediocre but wont make your ears bleed and the graphics look bland but fits with the rest. I've never played anything quite like it, playing this game feels like sitting on 10 chairs stacked on each other, it feels unstable but but somehow you don't crash you a painful death. I don't know what I can say about the story without spoiling anything and repeating myself, it was Decent. You got an annoying woman with you which doesn't get better when the smaller even more annoying girl enters the picture. Actually, all the characters are more or less annyoing except the main character, Bryce Boltzmann. He's more like a hobo who walked into your house, you feel sorry for him for where he is but you still don't like him trashing your place, you know? Fuzzy, I know. It's to recommend this game, I suppose if you're really tired of the same old shooter games it's worth a try but unless you like playing as a clunky demonhunter you will save money by staying away from it or waiting for a price drop. Although I do hope someone takes some ideas from it, perhaps with more elements from the T-1000 from Terminator 2, making the character pretty much immortal and indestructible except when facing stuff like extreme heat or cold, I don't know, just be cautios around NeverDead.… Expand

Absolutely bad controls. Other than NINTENDO, NAMCO and to some extent, CAPCOM (RE 5's tank control is still a mess though), many Japanese games control horribly, bad camera control or have weird design issues. Neverdead is no different. It's weird that only KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS is the only 'studio' within Konami that can make great games.… Expand

Gotta love how all the same employees from the company gave 10 star reviews to both the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. If only you had goneGotta love how all the same employees from the company gave 10 star reviews to both the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. If only you had gone the extra mile while making the game. I hope this ends up being one of those cult games where the cult kills themselves, then maybe companies will stop making crap games for their now dead audience. I gave my computer monitor the middle finger every time I read one of those awful perfect 10 reviews. Zombifiers, sarr, xzer123, and other Rebellion employees can suck it and stop making such horrible games, you ruin good ideas.… Expand
