Michael Kitchin, "The Fall Part 2: Unbound manages to retain the atmosphere, dark humour and themes of the original whilst bolstering the narrative with an ensemble cast and their own journeys. It works, even if the pacing does lag compared to the short and sharper first part. I feel Arid's combat doesn't strike me as necessary whilst the hub connecting the levels feels too empty and linear to justify being there. That said, there's an anticipation here to see how this story wraps up."
The Fall Part 2: Unbound picks up right where we left ARID at the end of The Fall, featuring new characters, new gameplay twists, and an even more engrossing story.
Console Obsession writes: "Having not known much about the game until I randomly played it during one of those many times when I'm not sure what to play, The Fall was a very pleasant surprise to me upon discovering it. It may have suffered from being too short, although the mixture of high concept science fiction, dark humour, puzzle solving and action were all masterfully paced over its two to three hour run time. Planned as a trilogy, this second part is all this and more."
John Reid from Switch Player writes: "The future is, literally, a dark place. Puzzle solving adventure games seem to be going through a renaissance at the moment. The past few years has seen a rise of indie games pushing the concept of point-and-click style games originally associated with Maniac Mansion and the Monkey Island games. They bring a new insight into how you can mix up the elements to enhance the storytelling and type of puzzles, even though when you boil it down to the core, it’s the same type of game."
