Unravel 2 is the follow up to a game I quite enjoyed, Unravel. What I liked about the first game was the cute character and heartwarming story. I don't remember it all too well, but I do remember it being about a series of photographs where each one is a level, recapping an old persons life. It was nice. Now, let me try to tell you the story of Unravel 2.
An abusive dad is beating his kids, so the kids escape the house out a window. Your character and his friend are yarn creatures which can occasionally distract drunk dad with a little light. The kids are continually escaping their dad, running through the countryside, an old abandoned factory, through a forest and more. The kids cause quite a bit of trouble as they flee, property damage, setting the forest on fire and more. They do save some horses and eventually kill their dad and are portrayed as heroes.
Don't get me wrong, the puzzle platforming the series is known for is all there. I just hated the whole "feel" of the game. The controls are very tight, but the music is always so somber and makes you just feel "down". Graphically it's a beautiful game that is just a joy to look at. Story? No. Gameplay? Yes. Graphics? Yes. Sound? No. Recommend? Nah.
