Unravel, a new type of puzzle game
I like games where I have to use my brains, sure it's nice when in some games you can just go in kill everyone and everything mode but there's definitely a charm to games where you do need to think before you act. Unravel is one of those games and it's quite a unique one as well.
What is Unravel?
In Unravel you play as Yarny, a creature made out of a thread of yarn (I guess the name gave it away), that travels through the world using the yarn itself (from his body) to get from one place to another. This is an interesting way of traveling that actually made me curious about this game when I first saw it in 2015. You could call this game a puzzle platformer, which might not be interesting for everyone but it's more interesting then you might think. As you progress through a level Yarny will unravel more, so the trick is to get to the end of the level before there's nothing left of you. But you will find pieces of yarn to fix yourself so it's not like mistakes are punished severly. With the yarn you can solve all kinds of puzzles, from simple puzzles to some really nasty ones where it might take you a moment to solve it. But this is a game that isn't there to punish you or annoy you, it's a beautiful looking game with a soothing soundtrack that definitely makes you want to play more of this game!
Why should you give this game a chance?
Because it's a beautiful game? How about the fact that it's something different? I mean you can play first person shooters or third person shooters for the rest of your life but it's nice to switch it up a bit. At least that's how I see it. Unravel is a game that gives you something new, something unique you don't find every day in a game and it's nice to give that a try. Instead of wasting time on the same games doing the same stuff all the time! The background in this game looks amazing and it feels almost as if you're walking around in the real world, that makes the adventure even more interesting and it takes you with you into a world where apparently everything is possible. Well maybe that's the poet in me talking but I really like this game and I think you should give it a chance before you judge it.
