    Overall, Neverout is an interesting VR title turned into a Nintendo Switch experience that seems to be better suited to handle it. It’s fun, it’s challenging, and it can be a bit frustrating now and then, but it’s still worth checking out, especially at the price point.

    Neverout is a very interesting and fun game. It is a very intriguing puzzle game that has a very good learning curve. The game is a bit short, about two hours to finish everything and too repetitive, but for the price of $ 7.50 it's worth the investment.

    Neverout is a puzzle game bringing innovation and evolution inside the levels. You find yourself inside a cube which you can move the way you want to get to the exit. Each level brings something new.

    Simple but fun puzzle game.

    Neverout is a very basic puzzle game, too much. The basic idea is appreciable, but there are no great ideas and the variety is reduced to the bone.

    The whole thing is disorienting and unsettling — a lot like the movie that inspired it. Neverout isn’t the easiest game to love, but I imagine that those people who do love it will love it a lot.

    With its eerie atmosphere and interesting mechanics, Neverout has potential, but it doesn’t do enough to deliver. If you happen to be in the market for a good first-person puzzler, you’ll probably want to steer clear.

    I love abstract puzzle with crazy physics and logic so I got sucked into this pretty well. Not very scary but I was never after that to begin with.
