    Unbound: Worlds Apart is a pretty standard puzzle platformer with its difficulty firmly planted in repeated trial and error. Despite gorgeous visuals, there’s not much interesting to see here.

    Unbound: Worlds Apart isn’t a bad game by any means, but after a few hours of play it simply begins to feel bland and a little repetitive. Your portal powers seem interesting at the outset, but chances are you’ll eventually get tired of using the same combination of them to overcome platforming challenges and to make your way past creepy arachnids and other oversized bugs unscathed. If you’re in the market for a challenging puzzle platformer there are worse out there, but you’re probably not going to remember your time with Unbound: Worlds Apart once you’re done with it.

They managed to create a game with very unique puzzle mechanics while ensuring it was visually stunning with a wonderful soundtrack. The puzzles start out easy and get progressively more challenging but the checkpoint system ensures that it isn't punishing. It is truly amazing this little gem isn't more popular as I loved every minute of it!… Full Review »
