Game Skinny

Unravel is a beautiful game that works 70% of the time. In that 70%, Unravel is a thoroughly enjoyable platformer that tells a nice story, has something to say about industrialization, and boasts a really lovable protagonist. The other 30% of the time, it’s frustrating and unclear what you should be doing. Puzzles can be difficult to overcome because of low lighting, unseen objectives, or simply running out of yarn – which tells you there is a right and wrong way to play. However that 70% is so very charming, and so very fun, that you can’t help but be won over by Yarny and his emotional journey. The game begins with developer Coldwood thanking you for buying the game, and again at the end for playing. And that’s the kind of sincerity that elevates Unravel from average platformer that tries too hard, to a really great one that pulls all the right heart-strings.

Still loads of fun and well worth playing! If you’re a completionist at heart and looking to 100% this game, you’ll find a good 200 hours or more of playtime buried in all the side quests, replays with various characters, and hunts for red bricks. If you’re playing with a friend, even better! Many of the chase scenes and co-op fight scenes were designed with similar power sets in mind so that no one’s left sitting around watching if you can help it. This game draws from hundreds of different stories and makes cheerful, light-hearted fun of them all. It’s taken a newer, non-linear approach to questing (appropriate for a time-traveling, time-twisting game), and the charm of LEGO-ness hasn’t quite worn off … but the gameplay, after so many iterations without a great deal of variation, is beginning to wear.

Can a game based on Steven Wilson's Drive Home use its great art direction to make up for lacking design? Or does repetition make it feel like you've played through one too many last days?
