    While not an essential addition, this DLC offers extra context that offers a similar emotional tale to that of the base game. Even at only an hour or so, it’s as beautiful as the mainline entry and has a few more challenges and stages that will interest fans.

    Neva: Prologue is a short but emotionally resonant addition to Nomada Studio’s atmospheric platformer, offering a glimpse into Alba’s journey before the main game and the touching moment she meets the wolf cub Neva. While the DLC only lasts about an hour, it introduces a few clever puzzle ideas and reinforces the bond that defines the original adventure. Some players may miss the wolf-based abilities from the base game, but the shift toward Alba as a protector adds a meaningful narrative layer that strengthens the story’s emotional core.

    Neva: Prologue provides an earnest portrayal of the unique bond that can be found between humans and animals.

    Neva: Prologue is a decent addition to Neva. Decent, in fact: it does its job, it's not at all bad, and it's even cheap, but it doesn't quite live up to the core game's promise, and feels less inspired and compelling compared to it.

    Neva: Prologue‘s scale — with creativity and evocativeness on one side and restrictions and murkiness on the other — balances out to a solid experience.
