Praise for Thomas Was Alone:
“Across the game’s gaps and hazards, there’s a real emotional journey filled with narcissism and jealousy”
New York Times
“Sumptuous visuals and an engaging story”
The Guardian
“It proves that you don’t need tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of staff to make a game story worth telling, just a good hook, an engaging vision, and a whole lot of heart.”
9/10 – Destructoid
“Thomas Was Alone is a winning piece of minimalist game design that manages to do a lot with a little in an industry which far too frequently achieves the exact opposite, and it deserves much praise for that”
8/10 – Official PlayStation Magazine
