    Horrible controls ruin the experience. Recognizes my gamepad only to a certain extent. Once I try to customize button layout I'm unable to assign a different button and cannot cancel the process and go back to the main menu. So I'm forced to use keyboard. Also, too many needless controls. Platform games like this that place accent on atmosphere and graphics should really learn from theHorrible controls ruin the experience.

So I'm forced to use keyboard. Also, too many needless controls. Platform games like this that place accent on atmosphere and graphics should really learn from the likes of 'Inside' and 'Limbo' and do themselves a favor by simplifying command input. All in all, nothing to write home about. Potentially great game ruined by clunky controls. Waste. Expand

    Way too hardcore to be relaxing. In fact, the opposite to relax is true. The game will mop the floor with you. Deal with horrid physics, difficult jumps, dying a lot. Personally, I only enjoyed the introductory level. Everything else was incoherent mess. Most game reviews I read on this were stupidly inaccurate.

    Hold D while pressing S and type "who the F designed the controls" then press Enter

    Not really a game, but more like an interactive cartoon which is way too sentimental and sappy. The whole game is infused with some weird random weltschmerz for no reason. And the mechanics are way too simplistic and don't really work every time.

    Incredibly cute adventure that will inspire, entertain and maybe even touch you. A must-have for the fans of platformers.

    Most of the time Yarny will be traversing beautiful locales, but you’ll also have to visit a chemical waste dump and a house overflowing with cockroaches (which will tear Yarny apart like a school of piranhas). At moments like these, all charm of the game totally disappears. [Issue#207, p.76]

    Amazing platformer nearly without any mistakes. Visually stunning, soulful, great, pleasant and with catchy music. Unravel is a pleasure to play no matter your genre preferences.
