Critic Reviews for Future Unfolding
There is no ‘best way’ to play this, other than in a quiet room with your headphones firmly in place and nothing to distract you.
Future Unfolding is a game with a very beautiful artistic style, but its almost non-existent gameplay makes it a very dull and monotone game.

Future Unfolding doesn't compete with the open world delights of this season's big hitters like Horizon: Zero Dawn or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but instead offers a wonderfully relaxed and immersive combat-free alternative. It's a safari rather than a big game hunt, but one that deserves to be explored.
You can love Future Unfolding, or you can hate it. If you like to explore game design and experience something truly unique, you could definitely love it. Unfortunately, the intriguing concept gets often trapped in a rigid gameplay, and that's where hate comes in. When it works, Future Unfolding is a real pleasure to watch and play.

If I didn’t have access to a map, I would have no sense of where I left, or where I ended up, or if I’d been there already.
Future Unfolding is an atypical adventure, based entirely on exploration and discovery.

A meditative game of player-driven exploration, Future Unfolding has a rare and valuable commitment to letting people unfurl its discoveries at their own rate. The near total lack of guidance brings great reward.
At the outset, Future Unfolding is magical experience; an elegant world waiting to be explored, with wonder at every step. But with each discovery, the wonder disappears – and isn't replaced with anything new.
