This is not The Neverhood, but it *is* a good game, and if you played The Neverhood, it will probably make you want to play The Neverhood right after. Armikrog is more like The Neverhood than Skullmonkeys, especially in it's more puzzle-focused gameplay, but it has some voice-over work and non-claymation animation that may bother folks with major nostalgia for the *specific* style of The Neverhood.
THERE. That's the old-fan take out of the way.
What is this game? It's a trip with puzzles in it. The puzzles are good, the trip is focused on family, and the idea of the home as a fortress that can become a trap when it's sanctity is broken. Sometimes it's funny, but the themes almost made it difficult for me to laugh as I played, it felt like being out-of-touch with the stakes of the story to take it lightly, even though it was being lighthearted often.
The difficulty of the puzzles varies a lot, but that's pretty normal for games in the Neverhood "series", I think it's worth playing through to the end despite the difficulty. If you like it, remember to tell people not to give up on Claymation OR goofy story-telling as art-forms!
