Ben at GameSpew writes: "How often is a game released that both appeals to all ages, manages to stun players with its visuals and leaves a lasting impression well after completion? Yeah, it doesn’t happen every day. Little Big Planet, while great fun for all the family, became forgettable over time as it spiralled into something of a cash-grab. The LEGO games, for me anyway, became dull quickly with repetitive gameplay and lack of technical progression from game to game. And then came along Unravel."
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."

Spot on review. I think it was after the 3rd level I started to piece together what the plot of the story was and I kept fighting it in my mind because it's not what I wanted it to be. Unravel is the "Jurassic Bark" (Futurama, 2002) of the video game world.
