Unravel 2 (PS4 game): Lovely, fun, quite easy, very short

It is available on other platforms as well but I played it on PS4. It was, like most of the games I purchase, on special and that is why I got it.

A platformer with an interesting system of completion where you must coordinate the efforts of both of your little yarn people, Unravel has fun scenery, grate music, and fantastic graphics.

_{I found the level design to be very similar to styles such as in "Inside" where the backgrounds are lovely, but you almost never interact with anything back there}

The game consists mostly of solving puzzles where it is necessary for one of your yarn-people to go a certain way and do something in conjunction with the other fella. Since the two of you are tethered to one another, there is normally a very limited number of ways that you can actually make this happen.

One of the more common things that will happen is that you need to lower one dude down and make a tarzan rope out of it to jump to the next platform. It's not difficult once you get it figured out.

During the 8 levels (I didn't play the bonus, "challenge levels") there is a tragic story of some sort going on in the background but I believe the story is intentionally vague to allow the players to form their own notion of the story. I like this tactic and it seems to be becoming more prevalent in platformers such as Little Monsters, Inside, and Limbo as well. All of those are excellent games by the way.

Cutesy yet not childish, Unravel 2 succeeds on multiple fronts such as being fun, and being a real joy to see because the story is interesting and the graphics are really good. However, the game is extremely easy and also very short (I think i finished it in under 2 hours.) I don't think it has much in the way of replay value either because while the story is good, it isn't so captivating that you want to see it again. I'm happy I made this purchase because the game, while short, is a good one for anyone who is enjoying this trend of artistic platformers with great stories and music. However, I wouldn't pay full price for this game, and don't think you should either.

Get it only if it is on sale at a big discount because it isn't worth the list price of $20.
