Nov 18, 2021Not worth the money. The aesthetic is nice but it's repetitive and I finished the game the same day. Puzzles aren't exactly what I'd call a puzzle. I'm actually quite annoyed to have spent £18 on a game that I finished within a few hours. I anticipated atleast a good amount of levels.

Mar 27, 2023The story aspect was cool for the game, but was kinda strange that she was Jewish and gay? Doesn't make very much sense. And not worth the money at all. $21 for a game that lasts 4-5 hours

Mar 9, 2022Whenever the protagonist of Unpacking moves to a new home, it is the player's task to open cardboard boxes and decide where her belongings should be placed. While this can be a tedious experience when you’re just putting socks into a drawer, whenever an item that conveys something about her life comes out of the box, Unpacking becomes a unique storytelling experience.

Nov 10, 2021Unpacking manages to do several things very well, all at the same time. It’s a touching story told through interaction, it provides the creative play space of a great dollhouse game, and it deftly applies established game design ideas from completely different genres. Its only real shortcoming is the repetition that is a necessary byproduct of landing its message. Effort has gone into making the controls satisfying on Switch, and the visual and sound design are delightful throughout, making Unpacking, like any sane person’s cutlery, absolutely top-drawer.

Nov 10, 2021I started Unpacking mostly expecting an interesting puzzle game about item placement and ended up with a story and protagonist I cared about. The art is beautiful, the world detailed, and the ambient sound of simple things, like a refrigerator running, put you in the world. Beyond minor woes, Unpacking does everything you’d want in a puzzle game and then some.
