NAIAD Reviews
Naiad offers real pleasures and real frustrations - but always with a purpose in mind.
A self-described relaxing game about wild swimming, sunk by tedious and ill-explained busywork.
Taken as a whole, Naiad is a title with incredible art and sound as well as something to say, even if the gameplay isn’t always firing on that same level.
Naiad is an immersive and accessible adventure that's unabashedly sweet and delightfully simple.
Naiad stands out for its simplicity and beauty, offering a relaxing journey through a picturesque world. Although there are moments when the flow is interrupted by obscure puzzles and repetitive activities, the game succeeds by allowing each player to find their own rhythm, whether exploring every corner or simply gliding through the water. Furthermore, Naiad shows that there is magic in simplicity, making us appreciate this brief and unpretentious journey.
