Aerial_Knight's We Never Yield

While, We Never Yield, may not entirely surpass its predecessor, it certainly carves out its own unique identity. Its focus on parkour, coupled with rich narrative and stunning visual improvements, makes it a worthy addition to the Aerial_Knight series for the price, but the game definitely isn't better in gameplay and stability than the first game in the series, Never Yield.
