Unravel Two Reviews
A bittersweet and captivating game, the follow-up to Unravel introduces co-op play to great effect
Unravel Two is a worthy successor to the first Unravel game, but aside from the co-op, it doesn't really bring much new to the table. If you're fine with that or not is up to you.

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.
Every bit the tactile, heart-rending experience that the first game was, but with added layers of complexity thanks to co-op - as well as enhanced replay value - Unravel Two is a fuzzy, warm hug of a sequel that'll make you smile.
Overall, Unravel 2 is an adequate follow up to 2016's indie darling. It hosts a plethora of new puzzles that force players to think, but without making them go mad. Too many checkpoints may turn off players looking for a genuine challenge, though. The all new dynamic of co-op really gives a jolt of energy to this game; Without that new component I'm afraid Unravel 2 would've just felt like a level expansion. Those that really dug the first Unravel will love what its sequel has to offer.
By adding a second Yarny, Unravel Two ups the fun and adds much-needed variety to the experience
Full of heart and fresh ideas, Unravel Two is everything you'd want from a platformer sequel.
It feels like devs really wanted to make a sequel to Unravel but didn't know how to do it. They added a local coop but the story became worse. And the low amount of levels is compensated by a big amount of challenges. But did we really want them?

Unravel Two marks a little, but clear evolution from the first game while adding a second, playable character. The game keeps on looking gorgeous and, despite improving almost all of its physics and mechanics, the game dissolves the difficulty it was previously known for.

Unravel Two comes up slightly short in comparison to the greatest in the genre, but it nonetheless provides a memorable and serene co-op experience.
Just as fun to play single player as it is multiplayer
Unravel 2 is amazing thanks to clever puzzles and fantastic coop. It's beautiful and has some great gameplay, but playing alone lessens the experience. The music is the unsung hero, because it's majestic throughout the entire playthrough.

Unravel Two appears to be a real treat for your eyes and ears, as well as its predecessor. The possibility to control two Yarnys, alone or with a friend, is a real addition to this poetic journey. The seven levels of the main story can be completed really fast but the extra missions extend the experience for the players seeking for some challenge.

Like the first game, Yarnys explore a hub world (this time a Lighthouse) and enter pictures to play a level. There are seven story levels in total, each within 20-ish minutes. Additional challenge levels open up once you finish the main campaign. Oh, and it’s also done by about five hours or so.
Unravel Two is not unlike its predecessor. The added co-op adds more incentive for players to experience its charming presence.
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.
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 a quick journey, but one that does its predecessor justice.
Unravel Two is a great platform game. It presents cooperative mechanics that are excellent in two players, but that can be very well used in the single-player mode. The campaign can be relatively simple, but there are challenges that will require effort from the player(s). The downside is the few stages and the story that the game wants to tell that is not very interesting.
