    Unravel Two is just an ordinary pushed cash-grab that serves nothing more as EA's multiplayer propaganda. It lacks almost all of the elements that made the first installment special. Puzzles are so simplistic, collectables and enemies are so uninspired.

    Мне понравилось. Саундтреки, атмосфера, графика, помоему были намеки на сюжет, в виде девочки и мальчика что на фоне убегали от своих демонов, но бтв эта игра не про это. Хороший платформер на пару вечеров.

    Not so sure I like this follow up. For me the story has lost it's charm. It is told with less ability and is difficult to relate to. Also the children's pictures are not interesting. The challenge levels annoys me a lot. They are short, doesn't offer anything interesting. It was a total waste of development times. Most of the game now is about swinging and playing the alpinist.

The challenge levels annoys me a lot. They are short, doesn't offer anything interesting. It was a total waste of development times. Most of the game now is about swinging and playing the alpinist. A lot of wall to wall jumping. The last chapter is completely at odd with the rest of the game. Suddenly you get a new power and magic areal support. Not much emotions are translate into the game. The music was excellent in the first game. This time it's a mix bag of good and boring. To be fair, the last two chapters have excellent soundtracks. The graphics are amazing, the sounds is very good. You can't fault this developer on it's skill, but I think the story just wasn't that great. In fact, I still don't know what the story was about and you can resume it in two phrases. I give it a 68%.… Expand

    I absolutely loved the first Unravel, but this sequel's new ambitions seem to have replaced some of the best parts of the original.

If the gameplay was your favorite part of the first game, then you'll most likely love everything about this game. If the story was your favorite part of the first game, then you'll most likely leave the game feeling more like me. Unravel's Yarny was a lovingly crafted character that metaphorically represented a woman's knitting in order to have keepsakes to remind her of past events. Unravel Two's characters seemed to transcend time and space, being able to summon omnipotent balls of light that could change the past? I went over what that could possibly mean in my mind for a while and I gave up, writing it off as just a creative choice instead of narrative metaphor. At roughly half the length of the first game's story, Unravel Two seems to end extremely abruptly as well, offering a final mission that seems climactic only through music and level design, but no heightened emotion or great gameplay changes that made me *feel* like this was the final level of the game. I still enjoyed every minute of gameplay, but I can't deny that I feel greatly underwhelmed with my experience as a whole. One element of the game that has most certainly maintained it's magnificent quality, though, is the score. Every level offers music that is nothing short of breathtaking, and would be a reason to go back and trophy hunt -- just for an excuse to listen to the music over again. I guess overall, the additional yarn creature made fascinating gameplay improvements possible but other than that change, everything else that changed was for the worse; 4 fewer missions, unpolished narrative, and confused goals hold back this game from being recommendable for me. When the credits start rolling, a paragraph comes on screen that thanks the player for giving this game the time it deserves (agreed), and says that not one person can take credit for any role as they all did so much. This epitomizes my issues with the game: it feels like a hodgepodge of different peoples' desires and ideas without having a concrete identity of it's own.… Expand

    Not a long game and played it over two days with a young one of the family. Was it a magical bonding moment or a recipe in frustration and bickering? More of the first some of the later.

    Beautiful looking game, but the co-op doesn't work all the time. Sometimes it was just better for one of us sit back morph into the other character and do a part of a section or puzzle solo watching the other character swing around like mad. Got the bundle and I can't see myself playing the first solo game. I'd play an Unravel 3 to keep the kid happy for sure.

    Kind of burnt out on platforms years ago, However I did enjoy the experience. Cute looking game that still kind of tells a serious story in the background tracing peoples past memories.    … Expand

    Doesn't hold up as well as the first game, with a mediocre story that's lacking in comparison, and the occasionally frustrating puzzles. Other than that, it's a decent followup to the original and is worth taking a look, especially when playing with a friend.

    достаточно примитивный коопный логический пазл, основанный на 2д головоломках. Я ожидал большего от этой игры, хоть и не осилил первую часть... Но даже вдвоём игра игра не стала играть приятными красками.

    generally, it is for lovers of CO-OP games, but it is a bit monotonous .

    Unravel blossoms in co-op, which additionally alleviates one of game’s problems – again interactive elements in the environment are often hard to spot (especially under pressure), so second pair of eyes helps. Other than co-op it’s more of the same (sometimes I even wondered if I saw a particular level before), but still I enjoyed it more than the original game, even if the first Unravel’s visuals were more impressive when it came out.

    Unravel Two is a fairly compact jaunt with only seven levels and some optional challenges for those who want them, but I found it to be the perfect length for what it is. The runtime offers a satisfying array of puzzles that function equally as well with one player as they do for two, it’s stunning to look at, a pleasure to listen to, and although they might not be ranked alongside other videogame luminaries, I adore yarnies. I’m not sure if a third game is in the cards considering how quickly Unravel Two was forgotten, but if so, I’d be more than happy to go on an adventure with them again.

    For something light and enjoyable, we would certainly recommend it, but don't expect this one to reach down and really grab a hold of your soul. [Issue#203, p.78]
