Unravel Two Reviews
Unravel 2 is charming, gorgeous, challenging fun that’s great for solo players as well as co-op.
Unravel Two may have lost its cathartic charm but in its place, you’ll find refined mechanics more befitting to its genre.
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.
Yarny is back for another lovely adventure trip through Swedish landscapes, this time accompanied by a second playable character. This results in some deep puzzles, great challenge rooms, and, bundled with the more precise controls this time around, a better game than the first one, whether you're playing alone or with a friend - but also one that's over just a bit too quickly.

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.
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.
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 comes up slightly short in comparison to the greatest in the genre, but it nonetheless provides a memorable and serene co-op experience.
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 is a quick journey, but one that does its predecessor justice.
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.
Unravel Two may not have been at the top of players' wishlists, even those who enjoyed the first, but the addition of co-op breathes fresh air into its yarn-based platforming.
Unravel Two is a very welcome arrival on the Nintendo Switch catalogue and one which seems perfect to play on the go. This puzzler with stunning visuals and soundtrack is fun and involving and gains a whole new dimension with its local multiplayer mode, which contribute to make Unravel Two one of the bright gems available for the Switch.

Unravel Two was already a wonderful little game, filled with heartfelt moments of poignant storytelling and challenging platforming puzzles, and now it has a fitting new home on Nintendo Switch. Even with a few downgrades to the visuals, Unravel Two is far from an inferior experience when played on Nintendo's hybrid system. Full of charm and character, it's one of the best co-operative platformers you can play anywhere, and another robust Switch port that was well worth the wait.
Unravel Two is a standup performance by developer Coldwood Interactive, improving on the original in nearly every way. Whether you have a friend to play with or not, Unravel Two is one of the finest puzzle platformers and couch co-op games in 2018. Though not everything is quite as manageable in single-player as in the main campaign and the narrative is lacking, my five hours with Yarny still had the same wonder as the original title — just with much better mechanics.
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.

Just like its director speaking onstage at E3 2015, the game isn’t perfect. Certain aspects of the controls could be better and playing the game solo can feel repetitive and a bit of a drag at times. Unravel Two, however, makes up for its faults with its earnest disposition and likable charm. Co-op play especially enhances the experience, turning it into a fun and hilarious exercise even when you're failing miserably. If you’re a puzzle-platformer fan who's looking for a game to enjoy with friends, your kids or a significant other, Unravel Two is one needle that you’ll definitely want to thread.
