NTE: Neverness to Everness

Absolutely good game. Better than Genshin Impact I would say. So many things to do so far.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This game is AMAZING. Ignore all the low scorers and 0 raters. They are most likely spammers who are xbots hating on the game because there is no xbox port. The game is alot of fun. Definitely recommend it

The game does look gorgeous thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and I'd say this is a new evolution for open world gacha games. Driving around a detailed city is fun. My issue remains the over-the-top silly nature of the story and characters. Taygedo is especially annoying. His dialogue got old after the first 30 seconds. The menu system is an absolute mess. If someone could just make a game without 40 cat characters, all of the sillyness and actually made us care about the characters... I've been playing gacha games for a long time now and nothing has drawn me in yet story-wise and character developement wise. It may just not be possible with the gacha formula where you want people invested but not TOO invested enough to be satisfied with the free-to-play experience alone. I really wanted to like this one but the character interactions really bring it down. You CAN make an anime game that doesn't rely on high pitched squeals from little cat girls... make me care by giving us some relatable content.

There is a bug when escaping from the prison through the sewers. The police detection light does not appear, so I can’t see where to avoid getting caught.

Neverness to Everness opens with a familiar setup: a mysterious attack, a team of stylized heroes, and immediate combat. While this structure is common in modern RPGs, the execution here struggles to create any meaningful engagement. The game throws players into action before establishing emotional stakes, resulting in a lack of intrinsic motivation. You are fighting, but you don’t yet know why you should care.This issue extends into the game’s worldbuilding. The lore suggests that the world is “new” and culturally undeveloped, but what is shown contradicts this idea. Instead of a believable, evolving society, the game presents a disjointed mix of elements: highly stylized, exaggerated protagonists coexist with grounded, almost mundane NPCs. The tonal gap is striking. Heroes behave like over-the-top anime archetypes, while the general population feels subdued and detached, creating a sense that these characters do not belong to the same **** narrative framing of anomalies further highlights this inconsistency. They are treated as both central and longstanding phenomena, yet the world shows little sign of adapting to their presence. Architecture, culture, and daily life appear largely unaffected. Even symbolic elements, like the antique shop used as a metaphorical anchor for anomalies, feel conceptually mismatched. If anomalies are common, framing them as something rare or “antique” undermines internal logic.Gameplay does little to compensate for these issues. The combat system is serviceable but lacks depth. Team composition offers minimal room for experimentation, and there is little incentive for theorycrafting. Compared to similar titles, it feels stripped down, with only basic buff interactions and limited mechanical complexity.Movement is another weak point. Traversal feels sluggish and imprecise, with noticeable delays in character responsiveness. Climbing and parkour mechanics are frequently interrupted by minor environmental inconsistencies, breaking any sense of flow. The game seems to aim for fluid, freeform movement, but its systems do not support that ambition. The result is frustration rather than empowerment.Side activities, such as racing, suffer from similar problems. Controls feel unrefined, and the lack of customization or progression systems removes any long-term appeal. These features come across as underdeveloped additions rather than meaningful gameplay **** gacha system, while statistically reasonable on paper, is presented in a way that feels unintuitive and unrewarding. The board-game-style mechanic obscures actual probabilities, making outcomes feel more random and less controlled than they likely are. This disconnect between perception and reality diminishes player trust and satisfaction.Ultimately, Neverness to Everness struggles not because of one major flaw, but because multiple systems fail to reinforce each other. The combat lacks depth, the world lacks cohesion, and the presentation lacks impact. While there is potential in its foundation, the current experience feels unfocused and **** players hoping the game improves significantly after the opening hours, it is worth noting that these early impressions are likely representative of the overall design philosophy. Incremental improvements may occur, but the core experience is unlikely to transform in a fundamental way.

Game is not a 10 by any means combat is shallow, cutscenes though stylish drag on for way too long, open world is riddled with bad mechanics just a all around disappointment
