Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)

I liked this game for the 3 hours I played it, but then I lost my save for some reason. entered Steam\userdata\(#SteamUserID#)\295790\local but it's empty. oh well

продуманный сюжет и стройный визуал, но геймплейная часть сырая и душная

The controls are sometimes a bit clunky, but the aesthetic is nice and I really appreciate how they incorporate Native voices in a respectful way. I would really like to see more games along these lines.

The story and documentary videos are great. The visual style is interesting but the 3D animation is a little rough (the 2d cartoon-styles cutscenes are beautiful though). Controls are slightly sluggish, not exactly a crisp precision platforming game.

the controls are ass and the game bugged like 3x in the 20 minutes I tried it

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.

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.

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.
