    Having played Unpacking on Nintendo Switch, PC, and Xbox before the iOS version, it is hard to find fault with the latter barring the lack of iCloud save support. The asking price being half of other platforms and such an excellent conversion definitely makes it an easier recommendation. I already loved the storytelling, relaxing gameplay, gorgeous visuals, and soundtrack in Unpacking, but it has found a new home on iOS and shines on the plattform. I hope the developers can add a higher frame rate option, but I have nothing bad to say about Unpacking barring that. If you held off on the PC and console versions, Unpacking is essential on iPad.

    Unpacking is a game that sounds boring on paper, and even though its mechanics are so limited, it still manages to tell a captivating story through its gameplay. In addition, it's the perfect zen game if you ever need a break from the loud, fast world out there.

    Unpacking does a great job of engaging players with its simple mechanics and short but meaningful story. The mobile port may not be the best way to enjoy the title though, but if you can get past the clunky controls, it's bound to be a unique experience with a pretty feel-good ending to boot.
