I’m doing a new system with my reviews, to give the devs credit for the game. So yeah, I’m going to be doing this for now on. Anyway, on with the review.<\/em><\/p>\n Actually, I have seen this game before. I’ve seen it on Steam. But I don’t think Dan ever played it. Though I have for awhile, and I really like what I see. So, what is this game?<\/p>\n It’s a narrator-driven story of native tribes up in Alaska. You can learn about this tribe via videos, and how they live. It’s the ‘Cultural Insights’ option on the main menu. It’s quite the interesting story. You get these stories unlocked by seeking owls. Yes, owls. Apparently this tribe uses them like carrier pigeons back in the day. Except, this tribe is still going; isolated from the rest of the world, and free of government corruption and greed.<\/p>\n The actual game, is a story about a little girl who is a good hunter and hunted with her family. But one day, a powerful, unending blizzard began to happen that forced them to stop hunting, and they were faced with starvation. Eventually, you get to a point where you can’t go any further, and you feel you’re pretty much screwed. Suddenly, a snow fox shows up to save your life. It lures the bear onto some cracked ice, and the bear falls down. Eventually, you get a weapon called the ‘Bola’. Aiming the dang thing takes a while to master. It’s one of those old fashioned slingshots. Mainly used for hunting. But from what I’ve seen so far, its use is to get rid of thin ice. . Bad: Overall, I really like it. Good game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Title: Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) Developer: Upper One Games & E-Line Media Publisher: E-Line Media Release Date: November 18th, 2014 Game Engine: Unity Number of Players: Single\/Co-Op Gene: 3rd person jumping\/adventure platformer I’m doing a new system with my reviews, … Continue reading
\nThe girl decides to leave her village to find the source of the blizzard, which is where the gameplay starts. Soon as it does, you’re being pursued by a starving polar bear. The game teaches you the basic movement controls, while you’re running away.<\/p>\n
\nWith this, begins a quick friendship of the child and the fox. But you soon learn out, this fox isn’t an ordinary fox. Infact, having a fox on your side is a symbol that you’re in danger, and the fox is here to keep you out of trouble.
\nBut the fox is also able to see spirits. Friendly ones, that can help both of you get up and over certain parts of the game, that would be impossible by normal means.<\/p>\n
\nTo use it, you basically pull back on the R stick away from the target, then snap it towards the target to throw the Bola. It’s a quite interesting mechanic.<\/p>\n
\nAnd so, my verdict;
\nGood:
\n-I really like the story. Very touching.
\n-Nice characters.
\n-Music is very soothing.
\n-When underwater, you seem to have infinite air. Either that or their lungs are really powerful.
\n-Infinite lives. It uses a hidden waypoint system that brings you back to it if something unfortunate happens.<\/p>\n
\n-If you don’t speak Swahili (or know their language), it’s best you use the subtitles. The narrator uses this language.<\/p>\n
