About Neversong
Your main character is called Peet and he wakes up from his coma in the first few minutes of the game. Everything around seems to have changed. His strange childhood friends speak riddles, spiders have plagued the town of Red Wind, and to make matters worse, his girlfriend Wren has also disappeared. They tell Peet that he is responsible for everything and that she died for it. However, when you leave the house, you see how a shadowy figure takes her away, somehow nothing fits. After entering Neversong Are you as smart as before, is it time to change it?
You have to find your way in this creepy and abnormal world. It takes about an hour to get along. By then, you have already unlocked the trusty baseball bat, which can be used to easily knock down many obstacles and numerous enemies. However, as the game continues, it will. Neversong getting crazier, which in a positive sense INSIDE recalled while the other presentation tends towards Night in the forest This title retains its own character.
A mix between platforms and fight
Your skill is in Neversong Really put to the test. Equipped with special gloves, you can stick to the hanging balls and use the momentum to jump more. There are also different enemies that get in your way from time to time. Creeping spider animals, knife-attacking zombies, and even flying monsters regularly come to bat. The action is always balanced, but you have to do more puzzles and jumps than actually hitting yourself.
Once you’ve created a scene, a boss will reliably wait for you at the end. Boss fights in Neversong They are built in an exciting way: each of these intermediate opponents is huge. If you’ve done enough damage to it, one of the notes you see on the screen fills up. This heralds the next stage of the fight and the attack pattern changes. It’s really nothing new, but the way everything fits into this game is refreshingly different. Once you’ve put the boss in, you’ll get a new tune.
Chapter by chapter, puzzle by puzzle
This melody is transferred to your songbook, and then it is important on a piano (at first there is one in Wren’s house) to play these notes. This will open up new opportunities for you, such as a baseball bat, grip gloves, or a skateboard. The latter allows you to increase speed on smooth surfaces. Peet then automatically jumps on the ramps, which can take him immensely far, depending on speed. Goes Neversong Far beyond the classic puzzles, this is evident from the start.
The highlight was not just certain passages where you have to beat the skateboard with a nice timing switch. Again it is only hinted that something strongly reacts to certain smells. Therefore, it is up to you to discover how to bring these smells to the creature. Implementation of this plan is wonderfully bizarre and looks really fun! It’s so much fun in Neversong meandering around and having to think. However, if you get stuck, the title won’t help you at all. So it may be that you really fail this game without a tutorial. Also, the walking trails are getting longer; here you will spend a lot of time searching.
The technology of Neversong
There are six dark levels to play in this game, and visually they are clearly separated. While the sewer system feels wonderfully tight, the dark graveyard is a great contrast Neversong Nothing wrong, but prioritize attention to detail. Anyone who pays attention to the little things while thinking will not be disappointed in this game! It’s the same with acoustics, character settings, piano soundtrack, and sound effects are all very well done. Nothing prevents him from thinking, despite the fact that the title is sometimes very sharp.
Let’s go to the controls: in the first hour there are still no handling problems, but at the latest after receiving the skateboard, you should seriously consider a controller. The on-screen control works very well in itself, but it is difficult to obtain a time without haptics. But if you have a controller (now PS4 and Xbox One also work), it will be connected Neversong less frustrating However, the puzzles are still difficult and sometimes need your full attention.
Conclusion about the game: definitely try and puzzle once
As is the case with Apple Arcade games, at first I don’t have much. expected this game after playing IMMOST (to try), Night in the forest and Hollow knight can i say that Neversong plays very well in this quality. As a combination of these three main titles, it is very pleasant to spend three or four hours here. The difficulty level increases rapidly, as do the walking trails, and sometimes you might get stuck, it is easy to miss something. Similarly, you only need to attack this game armed with a controller, otherwise frustration threatens more hectic passages – the reach of the baseball bat is short.
But other than that, only good things await you: the soundtrack and overall presentation are something you should definitely take a look at. The title story is initially told somewhat obliquely, and of course you’re confused. But that’s the point, and only those who reach the end will have the resolution of what really happened to Peet and his surroundings. I like games that have a story to tell, and this branch is definitely one of them! The game will also appear on Steam for PC. Neversong It is included in the Apple Arcade subscription (5 euros a month or 50 euros a year).
