Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)

Отличная игра в основе сюжета которой вполне интересная колоритная сказка. Интересным решением было добавить видео-вставки в стиле документальных фильмов National Geographic с рассказами о фольклоре, обычаях коренных жителей Аляски. Есть как забавные и умиляющие моменты, так и грустные. Головоломки не сложные, в большинстве случаев решение очевидно. Присутствуют и "панические эвенты" выраженные в погонях за главными героями, где решать нужно быстро, что, впрочем, вызова игроку не бросает. Наличие геймпада ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО, управление явно под него заточено и играть с ним в разы комфортнее (не без "но", на мой взгляд механика прицеливания и метания бола стиком очень неудачная идея - привет погоням). Кооператив, благодаря тесному взаимодействию девочки и песца, позволяет переодически давать леща напарнику за нерасторопность, ну или получать, тут уж как повезет. Проходится быстро и оставляет приятное ощущение после титров. Цена приемлема, но если вы не фанат платформеров или сказок/документалок, ждите скидку. [b]9 песцов из 10![/b]

Is it the best game ever? No. Do the controls kinda suck? Yes. Is it sometimes unclear what you're supposed to do? Yes. Do I recommend this? Absolutely. A delightful snack of a game. Get it, play it for 3 hours, complete it, be a better person as a result.

7/10

Непогана гра для проходження в двох, пройшли разом з дівчиною, було відносно цікаво, але моментами важкувата, і є певні баги, сюжет досить короткий, на декілька годин, від мене 5/10

THIS REVIEW IS OF THE SINGLE PLAYER VERSION BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I PLAYED IT, ALL OF MY ISSUES WOULD BE REMEDIED WITHOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE AI PARTNER AND THE POORLY IMPLEMENTED CHARACTER SWAPPING: I really wanted to like this game as the visuals were cool, the platforming mechanics were pretty unique, the story was interesting (however the fact that a lot of lore was locked behind mini movies you had to watch separately was kinda lame), and the level design kept the game fresh. Unfortunately, most of this was overshadowed by the fact that the bot, that controls the character you aren't using, is absolutely awful (the amount of times the bot just let go of something and plummeted to their death or didn't follow you in any autoscrolling sequence drove me crazy). A lot of this could have been remedied with seamless transition but unfortunately I found swapping between characters to be rather jank and this cost me countless lives in chase sequences or timing based areas. All this is extremely problematic and frustrating due to some of the precision that is required with this games platforming. I started off liking my time with this game, but by the end I was just wishing for it to be over as with the difficulty increase over the progression of the game the above issues became unbearable.

Beautiful game and story so far. However, I have a huge compliant about the single and co-op settings. I am NOT able to reassign key bind for the co-op and single player setting. It's so frustrating. Almost every time I use the A button for jump, it automatically switches back to co-op which is what the A was also assigned to. It must be separate!!! Please fix. Or just don't assign that to A!!! For now, I will click on "not recommended" until you fix that stupid issue. I'm gonna get someone to join me playing co-op so my review will be just for that.

yes

In Never Alone, you play as Nuna and Fox as they search for the source of an eternal blizzard that threatens the survival of everything they know. The game has puzzles to solve as both Nuna and Fox, and the puzzles are not too difficult to figure out. The game also draws on traditional stories from the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people. You can either play single-player or co-op where one player controls Nuna and the other controls Fox, and Never Alone is a great game.
