  7.0

  If you’re looking for gameplay that could be called anything better than unobjectionable (or you simply aren’t a fan of platforming), you may be better off somewhere else. Yet, even if you fall with the latter, Sahlin and Coldwood Interactive’s persona which permeates the title is hard not to support.

  7.0

  This generation has seen a glut of puzzle platformers grace the PlayStation 4, but fortunately for those interested, Unravel is absolutely one that deserves attention. While it feels like more could have been done with its mechanics, the game's charming and has a great lead character. It's also sublimely presented.

  Every leaf and stone shines just right, the water ripples and sparkles, the snow piles up and drops from ledges in chunks. The animations are exceptional, especially Yarny’s—he’s delightfully expressive in the way he shakes off water after a dip, shivers in the cold, and looks up in wonder at a great beast.

  This year’s most beautiful game so far, Unravel doesn’t quite display the design prowess to match its wonderful visuals, but it’s nevertheless an enjoyable, charming experience. And in Yarny, EA has an adorable new mascot.

  4.0

  Unravel, quite frankly, comes off as too amateurish to capitalize on its own potential. The ridiculous tutorial, unpredictable physics, and obfuscating visual design are rookie mistakes, while the primitive puzzles that make up the majority of obstacles could be thrown together by any hobbyist game designer dicking around with basic tools.

  A simple, emotional journey that is also simple to play, Unravel works at endearing you despite the mundane mechanics behind the journey.

  6.0

  The iffy puzzles and tedious backtracking in Unravel sadly cannot be fixed by switching to an easy mode as the game doesn’t offer any kind of “just play the story” mode. That’s a shame since the world and likability of the lead hero make the kind of adventure I love to get lost in.

  To me Unravel is the video game equivalent of a sweater fresh out of the dryer: it's warm and comfy and wonderful despite being itchy once in a while, and everyone should put this sweater on and see if it fits.

  It’s not hard to tell that I loved this game through and through. When reviewing a game you have to look at the sum of all its parts added up and in this case, Unravel doesn’t miss a step. A wonder to play, a joy to experience, a feast for the senses and a heartfelt story told by a team of passionate developers. I can promise you that you’ve spent 20 bucks in worse places than this and you’d be missing out on one of 2016’s greatest games if you passed this one up.

  Unravel’s appeal goes far beyond pretty levels. Beautiful, poignant and with an iron grip on your heart, Yarny manages to effortlessly deliver a wonderful platformer and a bittersweet message.
