Neffy -Moonlight Labyrinth X-

Somehow there aren't any reviews yet so i shall take up the mantle. Would vote neutral if i could - it has the makings of an entertaining game but isn't quite there yet. I wouldn't recommend buying unless it's on a big sale and you don't mind most of the game consisting of running back and forth. Played roughly until the midway point, stopped because it felt like a total waste of time. Granted I might've missed something in the latter half that completely negates my review but i highly doubt it. So for good things - the story is average and the gameplay of solving puzzles while switching between Neffy and Nova could be pretty fun. Also the japanese voice acting was nice. The gameplay as a whole feels very unintuitive, slow and clanky. Picking up/putting down items as Neffy feels like it takes years and the fact there's only 2-3 voice lines being cycled through regardless of the item or action gets repetitive pretty fast. The puzzles aren't innovative or challenging either - it just feels like a linear story you progress by doing hyperspecific fetch quests over and over. The hardest part to solve for me was that you need to collect enough energy on each level before being able to transform into a cat, because the game doesn't really tell you much aside from investing energy into the statue at the start. Investing energy into the goddess' statue to unlock abilities is such an underused mechanic imo. The game would've been a lot more fun if you 'advanced' as a priest by unlocked abilities that help you with the puzzles as you progress through the game (and it doesn't reset on each level), as opposed to just having to collect enough energy to unlock a lever, move on to the next level and have to do it all over again. The villains also feel like they're from a saturday morning cartoon in how they talk and act but that's not neccessarily a bad thing. Just something to point out for anyone who doesn't like it. Bonus points for Neffy being cute and funny

A wonderful game. I had a great time playing it. The puzzles were fun, without being too difficult or too easy. The story was enjoyable, not taking itself too seriously or trying to be deep and thought provoking. It served its purpose well, and allowed for some comic relief enemies. The protagonist, Neffy, was adorable. She was silly, she was fun, you wanted to help her. Best of all, she was voice acted quite well! I'd recommend giving the game a play. It is too cute to just pass by.

紹介の通り、VRプラットフォーム発のステージクリア方式3Dアクションパズルです。 基本はネフィ視点の移動操作で、仕掛けの作動にノヴァ(自身)に切り替えて進む、をひたすら繰り返します。 ・クリアまでに見つける仕掛けは過不足なく、収集要素の本もほぼ道中で分かりやすいので取り逃しの心配はありません。ストーリーもそんな難しくないのでさくっと終われます。 ・レビューとしては不適かもしれませんが、某イベントの体験会でVR版をプレイした時(その節はありがとうございました)の操作がまさにVRならではという感覚で、 今作については「VR操作をどうにかこうにかボタンスティックに当てはめました」感が否めませんでした。 ・紹介映像で動く2Dのネフィがゲーム内には特に見当たらなかったのも個人的には気になったというか、いてほしかったというか。 ・VR版とステージ内容に差があるかは存じませんが、少ない場合はこれによってVRにハマる導線にはならないだろうなという印象。 (・音声に処理落ちがかかって乱れる現象が時々ありましたが、自分のAIFの相性が悪いのか単にスペック不足なのか判別できない。) キャラのボイスや表情がゲーム全体の情報量としては多彩で、ノヴァ視点であちこち仕掛けを探しているとネフィが話しかけるボイスがあったりするので、そういった要素に耳を傾けながらゆったりのんびり仕掛けを解き進めるゲームとして良い内容だと思います。
