Quote: "Thee gaming industry has been losing more and more soul throughout its years thanks to the rampant commercialization and games being carefully crafted and dictated in order to appeal to wider and wider demographics. While the quality has certainly went up, the passion took a sharp downturn. Many games suffer from the same fault of over-committing to the grandiose graphics, the high octane action and the various mechanics. The end product ends up being exactly that: a product. Something that was manufactured for profit and not much else. With that said, it’s really special when something comes along where you can just feel the love that was poured into it. That is Unravel in a nutshell. A labour of love"
Paul writes: "For me, a very important piece of the puzzle when it comes to creating a platform game is the design of the main character. All the most successful games throughout history have a recognisable protagonist: Sonic, Mario, Crash Bandicoot, the list goes on. With the design of Yarny - the hero of the 2016 game Unravel - the designers at Coldwood Interactive smashed it out of the park."

Neil writes: "Last time out Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers had the opportunity to indulge themselves in a ton of discounted Xbox games with a glorious Xbox Super Game Add-On and LEGO sale joining the usual Deals With Gold offerings. It was certainly a great week to be an Xbox gamer, but now it's time to look at the latest set of discounts coming our way via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 20th-26th August 2019. With Gamescom up and running, surely there are a ton of newly discounted titles to enjoy? You betcha!"
I'm sorry, but no. 95 out of 100 - for a game which 'borrows' so heavily on Nintendo's Yarn and/or Woolly World games - minus any of the design, charm and polish...just NO.
Played first level on EA Access, not for me. Pretty boring and the music was irritating.
