The puzzle solving has changed significantly from the first game as the gameplay has changed. The main path adventure of Unravel Two can be completed in a single sitting and in that sitting there are very few memorable moments in the game due to levels that feel very similar to one another. There’s no spoken dialogue here, just some imagery to let you draw your own conclusions. To do this you’ll need to use the Yarny characters in tandem to cooperatively connect sparks that banish the evil beings.


As the two Yarny characters, you’ll be following the progress of two human apparitions and trying to help them bypass monsters made of negative emotions. There’s a theme that’s trying to be established here. The story on this journey is once again very much up for interpretation but it all comes back to the cooperative base for the game. That means that you can either play by yourself, controlling two Yarny characters or have one person controlling each. The game features cooperative gameplay whether playing by yourself or with one other person locally. Unravel 2 features more content than the previous game with a 4-5 hour main path, as well as additional challenge missions and collectibles to find. However, this co-op aspect seems to be traded in for a bit of the warmth and charm that the original had.

Coldwood has made some improvements here, namely in adding cooperative gameplay and puzzles to the game. Coldwood’s original Unravel game saw a great critical response when it released in 2016, with critics praising things like its visual and audio presentation as well as puzzle-based gameplay.Īnnounced to release on the spot, Unravel 2 was revealed and released during EA’s 2018 Press Conference. A Way Out, Fe, and Unravel have all been received pretty well in the last few years. This initiative would be one where the company gets behind smaller studios and development teams to help bring their games to market.

A couple of years ago amid the corporate monstrosity that is EA’s annual Press Conference, the mega-publisher announced a new program called EA Originals.
