Neva: Prologue returns to the original universe by portraying the beginning of the bond between Alba and the young wolf, preserving the agile combat, challenging platforming, and striking art direction—now with a darker tone. The new puzzle ideas and enemies add variety and increase the difficulty; however, they are underexplored due to the short length. Although it delivers intense and visually impactful moments, the sense of more of the same and its brevity lessen its overall impact. Even so, it is a recommended expansion for those who wish to revisit this story from a new perspective.
