News::Turning A Cold Shoulder Never Alone Review | GIZORAMA

Tyler Mitchell, GIZORAMA - "The video game industry has, for a long time, been pretty bad about representing any culture outside of the heterosexual male (mostly Caucasian) experience. Women, people of color, and the LGBT community and cultures have largely been relegated to the sidelines, and when a game comes along to feature a character from one of these communities, its hard not to take notice. Never Alone comes from Upper One Games, who worked alongside Cook Inlet Tribal Council an organization that works with native groups in Alaska and places an indigenous tribal tale at the center of its game. Its an effort that should be applauded, if only because its such a unique and fun story that feels appropriately respectful of its source material. Unfortunately, most of the fun is drained from the gameplay experience due to floaty controls and several frustrating technical issues."
