Painting a Masterpiece
In terms of gameplay,Nevawill have platforming and puzzles alongside light combat. There is something so intriguing regarding Nomada Studio’s work, given that there is a main focus on the art and world around the game, whilst still withholding a grounded sense of interactivity. Games such asThe Star Named EOSbrought a similar aspect and that is an art form that is breathtaking to see. Devolver Digital is also known for bringing some great games to players over the years and this one looks to be a great addition to their repertoire.
