The Neverhood is such a hard experience to describe. It lacks focus, its puzzles are some of the worst I've ever dealt with and its story is borderline nonexistent until the very end and yet, it's one of my favorite games of all time. Exploring this vast empty world made out of clay is incredibly engaging. The music is unlike any other soundtrack I've heard for pretty much anything. The stop motion is amateurish yet very charming and endearing. It's a bit hard to pin down what specifically makes me love this game so much but, I just can't help it man. I would love to see a remaster someday with cleaner scans of the original game's assets.
