Will we still be seeing a review of Never Alone? I’ve been interested to see what people think of it.
Yep, we have someone working on it, so the review will be up soon!
It’s a good game, has some minor issues but totally worth getting. This is a good sale too though. The Trine games and Mighty Switch Force games are awesome, and of course Shantae is a must own, all three of them. And don’t forget Guacamelee.
