Unravel blossoms in co-op, which additionally alleviates one of game’s problems – again interactive elements in the environment are often hard to spot (especially under pressure), so second pair of eyes helps. Other than co-op it’s more of the same (sometimes I even wondered if I saw a particular level before), but still I enjoyed it more than the original game, even if the first Unravel’s visuals were more impressive when it came out.

Unravel Two is a fairly compact jaunt with only seven levels and some optional challenges for those who want them, but I found it to be the perfect length for what it is. The runtime offers a satisfying array of puzzles that function equally as well with one player as they do for two, it’s stunning to look at, a pleasure to listen to, and although they might not be ranked alongside other videogame luminaries, I adore yarnies. I’m not sure if a third game is in the cards considering how quickly Unravel Two was forgotten, but if so, I’d be more than happy to go on an adventure with them again.

It is a lovely tale for two, designed to bring you together rather than tear you apart and perfectly paced thanks to the handy hint system. [Issue#333, p.81]

I love this game, don't get me wrong with the rating but the story is pretty hard to follow and has no continuity from the first game. Although nobody plays for the story this game is a quick breakout from the basic routine of cs2 anger and games like that :)) I love the mechanics and the fact that you finish it in 10 hours, looking forward to play more games from this developer

Gorgeous visuals and music, smooth and dynamic physics/movement, and simple yet satisfying puzzles! This game is great for beginners, but leaves a little something to be desired for more experienced players, though the real hitch is the rather vague, almost unfinished, story. But if you know that going, this is the game with everything else!

Unravel Two is just a pleasure to play. There is enough personality, charm, challenge, and life in this game to deem it a far better improvement over the original. The two-player complexity was a tough sell, but well worth the buy once you get into it.

Unravel is back with a beautiful, light-hearted adventure that adds an excellent coop mode. It also offers extra levels that are great for those looking for a challenge.

Perfect game! The soundtrack is exciting, the story is beautiful and the gameplay is fluid with envejable physics... You can play it alone, but the highlight of this game is the coop.

This game is simply AMAZING! I played it with a friend and it’s gorgeous graphics and the controls is good as well, it got a little tough along the way but the storyline was all worth it! Love the ending and the way to say “love will catch you if you fall and will help you climb higher.” Great job and thanks for an amazing game! Hope we can wait for another adventure with our tangled friends!

Unravel Two offers some good new ideas and has the good taste to be equally playable alone or with a friend. But the magic can’t happen twice and Unravel Two sometimes feels repetitive and predictable.

Unravel Two is equally as good as the emotionally pleasing original. The platforming may still be spotty, and some of the puzzles may not present players with much difficulty, but at least frustration doesn't set in because of viable attach points hiding in plain sight. The story may not be as powerful as the original, but the addition of co-op play makes up for that and offers new experiences. In the end, Unravel Two is a great title for platforming fans.

Co-op may be a very fitting inclusion (albeit without supporting online co-op, rather disappointingly), but Unravel Two nevertheless feels more like an expansion rather than a true sequel. It is still a quite pretty experience, but there is a prevalent lack of variety in environmental riddles and platforming, most of which we already seen in the first part anyway.

For all its incongruousness, it prompts a set-piece so joyous and liberating that it's hard to mind. [Issue#322, p.116]

Charming and beautiful, Unravel Two does have some bright spots. However, those spots are few and far between thanks to some clunky platforming and dull puzzles throughout.

Good gameplay. Fun to be played with a friend, but the storytelling is bad. I didn't understand the story nor the point of the travel. Great graphics.

I had no idea how this game managed to remove every ounce of charm that made the original so amazing. Until I got to the end and they bragged that the game had been made by committee

Awful and inconsistent controls.
Music is very annoying.
No backstory. Play It Takes Two instead.
SummaryIn Unravel 2, you play as two Yarnys (tiny magical creatures made of yarn and joined by a thread) in a puzzle-platforming adventure. Run, jump, swing, and solve your way through a world of natural beauty and shadowy dangers, either on your own or with a friend in local co-op.
