Unravel is an excellent game. I’m not a big fan of platformers, but the game is gorgeous, the main character is so cute, and the plot (even not being very open about it) is good for the type of game that this is.
Most of the problems I have with it are that the gameplay is not very precise and some of the puzzles are not exactly well thought out. But the biggest issue I got with the game is its platinum. As I’m not into platformers, I knew I would most likely not be willing to play it again. So every time I beat a few levels, my next time playing I’d replay them to get the few things that made me get closer to the achievements, but it kills me that on a game with only 2 big low points, all the achievements would be based on that. You need to not die (with this imprecise gameplay? Come on!) and collect all secrets that require a bit of backtracking to find, and that got me kind of pissed.
Unravel is a fun adventure that is a good switch of pace from all the action thrilled games we’re so used to nowadays. It is fascinating to see a game that has done this “zoomed out” view of the world before Grounded, and there are lots of breathtaking moments, both visually and in its narrative. I’d say that Unravel is a game that is worth playing, but only if you don’t care about getting platinum on your games. If you do, I’d say that you should play it on two instances with good distance of time from each other. Either way, a fun game that is worth having in my library and fun to play.
