    El juego es muy bonito y relajante, además te cuenta una historia pese a que parezca tan simple. 100% recomendado

    This game was absolutely beautiful! From its calm yet conveying soundtrack, to its mechanics, to the way it managed to tell a story without ever introducing a character. I would highly recommend this game, especially to those with an itch to organize.

    L’étron indé du soir est comme d’habitude en 2D et 16 couleurs… tout aliasé avec plein de bords pixélisés qui vous regardent éhontément : une honte graphique assurément ! mais il ne s’agit pas ici d’une daube habituelle à plateformes… mais d’une daube à déballer !

    Dans ce ‘simulateur’ de déballage, on clique sur le carton, un objet apparaît et on le place… à sa place dans la chambre, le salon, la cuisine ou la salle de bain… L’espace est assez restreint cela dit, alors il faut bien tout ranger comme un gosse qui range sa chambre en désordre…

    Une petite musique niaise d’ascenseur vous accompagne, ce faisant… ainsi que l’ennui à couper au couteau qui se manifeste très vite. Sans compter la débilité totale du truc, en fait. Et ils osent le vendre, ça ! mais où va le monde, franchement… je me torcherais le cul avec si je pouvais !    … Expand

    Juego muy entretenido y relajante. Vas viendo la vida de la protagonista a medida que pasan los años y colocas sus cosas en casa. Recomendado

    This gem came off as some weird game with a concept I wouldn't think would be fun. 6 Hours later and I have completed 3 playthroughs and unlocked all the achievements and stickers in the game.

This Addiction has hit hard and unexpected. I love this game, I want More...like soon. You go through and find out the story of the unpacker as you unpack your things in life at key points in your childhood/adulthood. You the player observes the story and come up with your version based off of what you see the character kept throughout the years. Your story becomes clear at the end where it's all spilled out in narrative. I loved this game. It's short though. Very short.… Expand

    A pretty stressful, yet nicely made and paved out game. I have a natural appreciation of organising, so this game is really fitting to me and my personality. It gives a feeling of stress, the one that you feel you deserved because you did something wrong, in a nearly idiotic way, sometimes.

    The game's story is suddle, yet visible, as you can estimate who you're playing, what kind of person they are, and many, many other things that you might notice throughout the game that show some 'lore'.

    The graphics are amongst the most interesting; they are very shiny and lively, yet not shiny enough to give me a negative view. The pixel art and room designs are straight up beautiful, giving me a feeling of nostalgia that I've never experienced.    … Expand

    Unpacking is a soothing, pleasant and serene experience in which the storytelling is told through the details. It's amazing how the main character's story can come to life through objects without even seeing her for a moment. Controls on console are not great since it is a point and click game but it is not too bad. The game doesn't try to be more than it is, and for this experience, it just fits.

    Like other reviewers, this was not something i was expecting to enjoy but it kind of sucks you in with the simple gameplay and some nostalgia about how moves are kind of a big part of your life. I'd recommend it to almost anyone for a bit of downtime fun.

    I have no idea why this game is so cool. Honestly, I have spent 3 hours unpacking some girl's stuff and having a great time. It is calming, very well designed, absolutely beautiful. It gives you hints for a complex story that you can write on your own. Without even showing the character, we are introduced to the most personal spaces of her life. I am really looking forward to a sequel, asI have no idea why this game is so cool. Honestly, I have spent 3 hours unpacking some girl's stuff and having a great time.

    Artisticamente é bem bonito, é diferenciado, e com um proposta bastante incomum para os padrões, porém muito interessante

    Unpacking is a relaxing and entertaining experience, that lasts long enough to still be fun by the end of it, and not become a chore in the process.

    Unpacking transforms a tedious chore into a moving game. Moving someone's stuff makes that person come alive, even if you'll never meet her.

    Unpacking is one of the best games of the year due to its brilliant idea: telling a person's life through their moves. Perfect in playability and sound, the story of Unpacking deserves to be lived.
