"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 …"

"Neva Prologue isn&s;t an expansion that attempts to do something entirely new. The game largely builds on the ideas and systems of the main game. Nevertheless, it&s;s a well-crafted and atmospheric experience that demonstrates how strong Neva&s;s foundation remains. Playing …"
