It's like a book club, but for games. 🎮

The Beautiful Games Club is a community for people who love games that move you — emotionally, visually, creatively. Each episode, we pick a game that deserves some extra special attention and explore it together, one beautiful game at a time.

For our very first episode, we're diving into Neva - the stunning 2024 action-platformer from Nomada Studio, published by Devolver Digital. We talk about what it means to become a mother, battle Studio Ghibli-inspired monsters, and sit with a story that genuinely breaks your heart. We also explore the newly released Neva: Prologue DLC and discuss what it adds to an already incredible experience.

So - is Neva the perfect game to open our search for beautiful games? We think you already know the answer.

⚠️ FULL SPOILERS for Neva (2024) and the Neva Prologue DLC throughout. Listen with caution if you haven't played!
