Joshua from SwitchEra writes: "2014’s The Fall happened to be a cult hit when it came out. However, developer Over the Moon decided that they were going to turn its story into a trilogy. Little did fans know that it would take around four years to get the second installment. In all that time, it’s important that the developers not only deliver on the story that captivated their audience in the first place, but improve on the criticisms that prevented it from being outstanding."
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."
