    It's a cute little puzzle solving platformer. It's pretty simple game play and has a few bugs but it is a great game to pick up for your kid. The characters are cute and the game has little videos educating about the culture.

    I'm responsible for a poor review written previously, that I would like to take back. There were some glitches in the game that I saw as being major pitfalls, but they were not impossible to get past, merely frustrating. I just beat the game and have since changed my opinion. It's not "unplayable", as I had previously written, my completed play through was proof of that. The mainI'm responsible for a poor review written previously, that I would like to take back. There were some glitches in the game that I saw as being major pitfalls, but they were not impossible to get past, merely frustrating. I just beat the game and have since changed my opinion. It's not "unplayable", as I had previously written, my completed play through was proof of that. The main difficulties are not from actual game difficulty level, but slow game response which causes deaths in quick scenes and sometimes the AI will run directly to their death. But aside from that, the game IS playable and very captivating. The characters are lovable and the art style is amazing. The story was also worth playing through.… Expand

    Great way of telling a unique story and give information about a culture. While the gameplay is a bit of standard, the way of giving information is wonderful.

    I really enjoyed playing Never Alone and being immersed in Alaska Natives' folklore. The game is part story-playing, part documentary, and even if it is short by industry standards, it's a game quite inventive, with strong theme about friendship, courage and respect that you can play with your kids.

    2 player 2D platform adventurer game (I played it as 1 player) with 3D art and hand drawing, with very good story narrative regarding Native Americans in Alaskan (like Eskimos) the are is very well done, and the documentary short videos were very well made and added to the overall experience of the game.

    Finished the game in 5 Hours, on PC.

    Never Alone has a fairy tale charm and educational values, and it’s a decent platformer. It’s a shame Alaskan temperatures failed to kill off the bugs. [01/2015, p.62]

    I wish the game was just as amazing as the story it tells. For an adventure that takes 4-5 hours to complete, it relies quite often on repeating the same gameplay sequences.

    An atmospheric platformer that offers little new gameplay-wise, but it's quite enjoyable while it lasts, especially with a friend. The fact that it's based on Alaskan indigenous folklore is what makes it really stand out. [Jan 2015]
