I enjoyed the first 30 minutes of Unpacking, and its simple gameplay loop of placing items in a world with some cute music, but a few things kept me from finishing it. Firstly, the game has some irritating restrictions on where you can place items. It forces you to do things such as keep certain items off the floor or in cupboards, which bugged me. I want to keep a mug on the kitchen countertop, and the game wouldn't let me, which broke my relaxed state while playing. Secondly, the amount of rooms to unpack for was too overwhelming for me. It sounds really silly that having too much to unpack is a turnoff for a game about unpacking for me, but it's true. Too many choices on where to place items and too many items available overloads my senses and I go and play a different game.
I can tell the developers put a lot of love in the game, and aside from those two nitpicks, the game was charming and relaxing, but I cannot finish this game. I would still recommend this game to most other people though.
