Unboxing the Cryptic Killer is an enjoyable little co-op puzzler that’ll let you wile away a couple of hours with a partner, should you want a short break from yet another true crime documentary on Netflix. While the art style might not be for everyone, the puzzle design is solid, and the game doesn’t hold your hand until you ask it to, which makes for a moderate and fun challenge. But, despite no major knocks to report, there’s nothing especially noteworthy either.
