    With beautiful visuals and expertly crafted levels alongside a dash of simple but intuitive gameplay, NeverAwake is a fantastic twin-stick shooter and one I can recommend to just about anyone. And lemme tell you, I haven’t quite liked an on-rails shooter in quite a while. This one is the real deal.

    If you've any interest in running bullet hell experiences, or working with a whole variety of weapons and abilities, then NeverAwake allows for it. Chuck in a nifty little narrative to tie it all together and speedrunning opportunities for those looking for them, and there’s no debate this is one you should be playing right away.

    Innovative and thoroughly polished, NeverAwake is ideal for shooter fans seeking a Burton-esque excursion through a young girl's psyche.

    NeverAwake is a tough but captivating twin-stick shooter. This surprising indie title slipped under my radar. However, I'm glad that I got to experience this gem of a game.
