Unravel was a lovely adventure with physics-based platforming and puzzles, its mechanics based around being connected to a thread and having to regularly increase its length to continue progress. It proved quite tricky at times, but extremely satisfying after figuring out the way forward. The environments were strikingly beautiful and the colours popped from the screen. Emotions ran high with its subtle story that delved into a family’s memories, exploring notable moments both good and bad.

All in all I'd call it wholesome if a little frustrating in terms of gameplay. It relied a lot on trial and error, but thankfully autosaves were relatively frequent.
