Unravel Two Reviews
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.
If you're a genre fan, Unravel Two would be a very good choice, even more so if you have someone to enjoy its puzzles with via co-op. While some of its choices didn't quite hit the bullseye – much of the folk music clashes with the on-screen action – it offers a solid amount of high-quality content. And again, Unravel Two will leave you thinking, which is another plus.
Unravel Two looks to expand and improve upon the critical success of its predecessor. 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.
Although the controls can get a little too fiddly for my liking in the latter half of the game, an issue that the first game also suffered, Unravel Two refines the platforming elements to near-perfection and incorporates its puzzles in a way that doesn't feel half as intrusive as it did in Coldwood Interactive's last effort.
In the grand scheme of pushing a little sentient piece of wool through a level and a number of challenges; memories and what they ambiguously mean to someone who worked on the game, or some 'highbrow' lost concept of 'connection' is not something that drives me, or many others, through a game. Purpose and reward for effort is what does that, and so far the Unravel series hasn't unraveled that little design nugget at all.
Unravel Two is not unlike its predecessor. The added co-op adds more incentive for players to experience its charming presence.
Unravel Two is a quick journey, but one that does its predecessor justice.
Unravel Two is a clever and endearing take on the original's formula, but doesn't come through on its cooperative premise.
Unravel Two is an elegant indie game with excellent puzzles, friendly difficulty, and outstanding art style.

Unravel Two takes some respectable risks with making a charming and competent cooperative experience, but pays the price by feeling more like a whimsical diversion than a true sequel.
Unravel Two has a more rich and funny gameplay, but lacks of the sensorial experience of the first chapter.

Unravel Two is equally as good as the emotionally pleasing original.
Unravel 2 has managed to outshine its predecessor in every way. It is a great co-op platformer that is smart, charming and challenging at times with a terrific central theme to tie it all together.
Unravel Two improves upon its predecessor and has a decent showing on the Switch. The gameplay is as fun and clever as it has ever been, making it one of the best cooperative (and mobile) experiences money can currently buy on the Switch, even though the technical downgrade to make it feasible is noticeable throughout. If you aren't bothered by that, be sure to check out Unravel Two.
Unravel Two is a respectable sequel to the first installment, Although seeing it as a sequel makes our expectations high. The idea of solving puzzles together works most of the time but somehow the overall experience is too short to enjoy it while it lasts.

Although I would’ve liked more challenge in the campaign, I still had fun with Unravel Two right up until the very end. Yarny is an adorable character that stole my heart right from the beginning, and the unique puzzles that come from both characters being literally strung together made for a fresh spin on co-op puzzle solving.
Some games are simply a pleasure to play from beginning to end, and Unravel Two is one of them.
It smells cuteness.

I liked playing through Unravel Two with my daughter, and if you're into playing gorgeous couch co-op games, then you're certainly in for a treat since this is a very good puzzle platformer. The game is roughly 4-5 hours long, and is fun to play with friends or family members, so I definitively recommend this release.
Unravel Two is a charming, great looking and fun 2D platformer on PlayStation 4 that improves on what its prequel did, giving us a better experience that introduces new elements into the mix to give us a more dynamic game. The available co-op mode, where someone can join at any time during your run with the game, is certainly a welcome addition, and a great way for friends or family members to join you on this adventure.
