Jul 15, 2018Future Unfolding is a proper UFO. Even if it’s a bit repetitive, it’s moslty weird and hypnotizing before anything else. Not to mention that it’s also beautiful, for the pleasure of our eyes and ears.

May 10, 2017Unraveling the mysteries of the game mechanics set in this mystical environment is the main motivation. At least until you are lulled into the tranquil setting and start realizing that you are following a monotonous future unfolding here and then...

May 4, 2017Future Unfolding has a bold idea behind it, and creatively it is impressive that this game was made from a three-person team. Unfortunately some decisions didn’t quite work in the big picture and there won’t be many hours in the game before the player will stop enjoying the journey and start feeling trapped in a mirror room.

Apr 6, 2017Future Unfolding is a game of love and hate. It could be an interesting concept to explore if you like experimental game design and unique experiences, but at its core, more than once the gameplay mechanics simply don't work.

Mar 30, 2017There is no ‘best way’ to play this, other than in a quiet room with your headphones firmly in place and nothing to distract you.

Mar 27, 2017The heady blend of peaceful and puzzling at work is worth your full attention.

Mar 15, 2017Future Unfolding doesn’t compete with the open world delights of this season’s big hitters like Horizon: Zero Dawn or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but instead offers a wonderfully relaxed and immersive combat-free alternative. It’s a safari rather than a big game hunt, but one that deserves to be explored.
-
Mar 15, 2017At the outset, Future Unfolding is magical experience; an elegant world waiting to be explored, with wonder at every step. But with each discovery, the wonder disappears – and isn’t replaced with anything new. Once you’ve uncovered everything the game has to show you, puzzles soon become petty barriers, the magic runs out and the procedurally-generated world loses its charm. In the end, Future Unfolding keeps unfolding for just a little too long.
-
Mar 15, 2017Thoughtful, bold (in colour and execution), and with absolute faith in its players to handle being cast into the glorious unknown, Future Unfolding is a rare delight. If these words inspired any desire to play it whatsoever, then do so; before you learn too much else about it.

Mar 24, 2017I think the best I can offer is that if you like the kinds of games I like (and you can get a sense of that through my author tag) I think you will like and value this.
