I replayed it a few months back. It holds up perfectly well, the only shitty parts are the 12 symbols puzzle. And the hall of records is just trolling the player.

Armikrog was less than stellar. Some of the items you need are difficult to see and one or two of the puzzles were really fucked, barely giving you any clues. But nowadays you can just youtube that shit. The real problem was the story making little sense. It starts with you searching the galaxy for a way to save your planet, then you crash land on an alien world, but after that all you do is go around inside a large castle trying to uncover some mystery. None of it has anything to do with the basic premise, and the ending is nonsense.

I did like the love story between that couple, it felt sad that they couldn't have children. I think the biggest issue of the game wasn't difficulty, it was just that it felt really short. Neverhood was longer. But I'm glad they made the sequel, not many cult games get follow-ups straight from the original team.

One of the worst platformers I've ever played. The devs had absolutely no idea how to design a decent level.

Someone dug up the rare Japanese PC version of the Neverhood a while back. I played some of it; it's quite good. Willie is an「おいら」

Based Russian translators translated Klogg as Windows and made all of his speech be Microsoft-related puns and even edited one of movie sequences to turn the beast release button into Windows 95 start menu button. They also got tired of translating the Hall of Records and put a bunch of NSFW jokes there instead.

Then they aren't really based. The hall of records was great to read through.

I've still haven't ever read it because of that, but in exchange I got to laugh at stories like:
>A boy is late to class. The teacher asks for his excuse. "You see, dad and me were walking a cow to meet a bull". "Couldn't your dad do it by himself?" "He could, but we reasoned a bull would be more fitting".
some five years after playing the game. (Was too little to get it when playing for the first time)
