"The heart of Unravel centers on Yarny representing the ties that bind us to loved ones and memories. It’s stunning visual presentation is decorated by strands of yarn tied about each level as you progress. Little Yarny is surprisingly emotive as he makes his way though the massive world around him. Whether he’s shivering in the rain or picking himself up and dusting himself off after tumbling down a steep incline, it’s hard not to feel for Yarny as he seeks to be the connection between an old woman and her estranged family. Sometimes he will be strained, stretching himself until he can find the next bit of red yarn to continue. The themes are thinly veiled, but the palpable presentation works well because Unravel is so full of heart. " - PSLS
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."
