There is probably no adventure game that I would like more than the one I describe below. Despite his several years on the back of his neck, he still delights me with his humor and originality of performance.

Шедевральная игра. Сюжет, геймлпей, атмосфера на высшем уровне. Как-же мне понравился вот тот как я его называл драндулет-портал, очень крутая и запоминающая частичка геймплея, все это очень сильно запоминается. Эх, я сейчас вспоминаю все это, и как же мать его это было круто! Та самая пасхалка когда ты ел грибное дерево 3-4 раза подряд, а потом мучался и ждал около 100 секунд. Страшные звуки, до сих пор их помню, да и звуки в целом, чего только стоит один звук ходьбы персонажа. Та самая мозайка, а потом ты ходил сквозь коридор, где куча всяких анекдотов) Игра по настоящему сделана с душой, жалко что нельзя поставить 12/10. Вы не представляете как было круто в возрасте ребенка, испытывать тот геймплей, с наливаниями колбачек, когда ты записывал важные моменты в тетрадку. Прошлая особенность реально особенная, это очень крутая особенность, которая невероятно украшает геймплей, геймдизайнеры, возьмите на заметку. Та самая машина где надо было угадывать цвета через аббревиатуру BOBBY (BLUE ORANGE BLUE BLUE YELLOW), радио. Когда ты ехал на том-же "драндулете" на своеобразной дороге, это было очень круто. Советую всем до единого!

It is always hard to review the games of your childhood, but I played this one recently to see how it aged. And to be honest, It aged pretty well. The resolution is, of course, a bit painful, but apart from that, the game is still funny and engaging. It has a unique art style, from the hand-crafted graphics to a catchy soundtrack that aligns well with the bittersweet story.
It is a hard game. Figuring out the next place o go can be a lot harder than in modern games and I had to rely on a guide from time to time. Along your way, you will find some puzzles, and some of them can be difficult. For one of them, I had to use a pen and paper to figure things out, which for me is always a good recommendation for a puzzle game.
The story is... strange. I never understood it well. It is more a story of this world than yours as a here. You are just going from one place to another trying to figure out why this place is so empty and where are you anyway.
But apart from those problems, It is a very good point&click game, that is worth playing for its atmosphere, puzzles, soundtrack, and humor.

Meh, I think it's overrated. Disclaimer: I have NO nostalgia glasses whatsoever for it since I never played it before, I had only seen some screenshots of it, if even that. In any case, the game is an achievement at the animation methods for that era, that's fine, and it had Lore which is relatively complex without requiring it but those are the only parts that it does relatively impeccably.
The main problem is that the puzzle design is relatively nonsensical or at least obnoxious. It's not hard per se, it's mainly that it's usually without much logic and with tons of backtracking for very little reason. Also it's extremely obnoxious at moving the character around, it's more or less very clunky in many ways. I know, the game is relatively ancient now, but let's imagine that we actually want to play this for the first time today because that's the point right? Well, I don't think this is a great game today. Is it totally horrible? No. Can it be fun? MAYBE, if you're into that kind of thing but all in all, this is not a great game at all for someone picking it up in 2019 and wanting something that will have some fluid fun in it.

Summary The frustrating thing about The Neverhood is that its simple beauty belies its malformation.
