Pocket Gamer Advent Calendar 2016 - Severed
Actual Ninja
Tis the season to be jolly - tralalalala lala la la. Except it's not really, is it?
It's a time of intense career, familial, and monetary pressure, where you're desperately trying to reach your work targets, visit all of the friends and family who'll get sad if you don't, and try not to go bankrupt ensuring you get what everyone wants for Christmas.
But don't fall completely into a pit of utter despair, Pocket Gamer is here to spread some actual Christmas cheer by giving away free codes for the best premium games which launched on mobile this year.
It's all courtesy of our official Advent Calendar, which is run in collaboration with our community of mobile gaming fanatics in the App Army. For full details, check out the post from December first.
But if you know the drill by now, read on for a full explanation of why you should have played Severed this year.

What are we severing, exactly?
Severed tells the tale of one-armed warrior Sasha who wields a living sword and battles a bunch of enemies, solves puzzles, and uncovers secrets - all of which is achieved with a quick swipe of the touchscreen.
There's equipment to unlock and upgrade, branching paths to explore, and a variety of combat techniques to learn on this gorgeous and atmospheric adventure.
At review, we gave Severed a well-coveted Gold Award and said "Severed is loaded with ambition and is so slick, stylish, and damn pretty it'll melt your eyeballs".
