Critic Reviews
- Unavowed is easily one of the best adventure games ever made. The story and characters are fantastic, the visuals immaculate, and the puzzles unique and inventive. Wadjeteye games are always good, but they’ve set the bar pretty high with this adventure.
David Flynn · Dec 16, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Unavowed is a solid retro adventure game. The story is not always evenly paced, but it is compelling with plenty of twists and surprises. The gameplay is simple, and the parts all work together to make a coherent whole.
David Temple · Aug 16, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Unavowed expertly blends fantasy and crime genres with stellar writing, acting, and artwork to create a game that is both memorable and entertaining, and should be experienced by anyone who thinks the glory days of Sierra On-Line are the only time period where great point-and-click games can be found.
Christopher J. Teuton · Jul 15, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - If you’re a fan of the point-and-click genre, Unavowed should definitely be on your radar. At £11/$15, it is well worth the price – especially considering there’s multiple endings and multiple origin stories to play through. When it all comes together, Unavowed is practically flawless. In fact, no other point-and-click game has blown my socks off quite like this. At least, not since 2014’s Broken Age.
Becca Smith · Aug 14, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Unavowed is the perfect title for those who want to enjoy an old-school adventure game – with all its lushly colourful pre-rendered backgrounds and perfectly pixellated sprites – without the old-school headaches of unintuitive puzzles slowing down the story. With sharp writing, excellent voice acting and genuinely intriguing choices to be made, Unavowed should definitely be possessing your hard drive sometime soon!
Jonathan Trussler · Aug 08, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Unavowed is another fantastic adventure from Wadjet Eye, and it’s great to see studio founder Dave Gilbert back in the saddle. The humour didn’t always land for me and some of the voice acting is a little iffy, but otherwise this is a fine example of a modern point-and-click adventure. The addition of character customisation and companions doesn’t sound like much, but it massively changes the feel of the game, even if other aspects, such as the puzzles, are still steeped in the past.
Andy Kelly · Aug 08, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - With a great cast of characters, Unavowed is a stylish urban supernatural fantasy that is touching, funny, endearing, replayable and above all, fun.
Richard Hoover · Aug 08, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Unavowed is a smooth and seamless adventure as a whole. It takes fantasy very seriously, abiding by its own rules in a way that makes the world it paints seem credible and engaging. At its worst, it may seem a bit too eager to shock, but when players have the chance to interact with the characters at a human level, it truly shines. It will offer adventure gamers a solid and delightful experience, packed with replay value and branching interactions.
Richard Costa · Aug 08, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - When you boil it down, Unavowed takes the tried and true formula of the Point-and-Click game and uses it as a stage to talk about humanity. Technical problems and gripes do not sully what was a great experience. Unavowed is worth a play if you’re interested in the genre, and Wadjet Eye Studios might just be a team worth watching for the future.
Dominic Rosatti · Aug 08, 2018 Reviewed on PCRead full review - But Unavowed's greatest strength is that it maintains an admirable focus on incredible characterization that feeds into every quest and conversation. Every question you ask, every decision you make, and every sacrifice you make carries you and your team members on an impassioned journey that epitomizes the best qualities of an adventure game.
