Unravel Two is also similar to the first installment in the series when it comes to the importance of the story. Both games provide a really nice mix of twitch perfect platforming and puzzles that require your characters to interact with their environment in original and clever ways. With the multiplayer elements of the sequel, you can also merge with the other player and swing from one another’s yarn.
As in Unravel, Yarney can swing from knots, drag objects and tie super bouncy bridges for reaching new heights and moving objects. You can also customise the colour and shape of your Yarney to make it a character you enjoy playing as.Īnother thing that really makes the game stand out from other releases are the incredibly unique mechanics that come with being made of yarn. By pressing the d-pad directions, your yarn character can clap, wave, shake their head, and sit down, giving them more personality than just jumping and walking. You can spot wildlife like hedgehogs and moose in every chapter, and, unlike a lot of games, Coldwood Interactive have created a world where you feel life goes on even when your character isn’t in frame. However, in both Unravel games, each track is completely different and unique.Įverything about this game feels so alive, despite the fact the protagonists would be inanimate objects in the real world. I find that in a lot of games, the songs are so similar they sort of merge into one. Unravel Two has a gorgeous score, composed by Frida Johansson and Henrik Oja, that really ties the game together (Ha! Yarn pun). Not just in its life-like graphics and charming yarn-based characters, but in it’s absolutely stunning soundtrack.
From this bond, a spark flies and your goal is to catch it.įirst off, I have to say, Unravel Two is an absolutely beautiful game. You connect your two broken ends of yarn and form a bond. Here you encounter Blarny, who’s origins are unknown. A storm hits and he is thrown from said ship into the ocean, washing up on an unknown shore. The game starts with Yarny on a ship at sea. I would definitely recommend playing with a friend, although you may have to wear masks considering the pandemic. If you do choose to play alone, then you will switch between the two characters. If you go down the intended multiplayer route, then player one will take control of the friendly red yarn based protagonist from the original Unravel, Yarny, while player two will take charge of a blue variation, Blarny. One of the many amazing things about Unravel Two is that you can play solo or couch co-op. Sadly, Unravel can not be played on Nintendo Switch (yet), but that’s okay, as you don’t need to play Unravel to enjoy Unravel Two.īut is the second entry in this series worth your time and effort?
