The game is split into 7 levels. Each level contains different challenges for you to overcome.

For example, if you need to cross a large gap, you can bring out your Donkey Kong Country skills, make a lasso and swing across. There are also occasions where you will need to build a bridge. Once you’ve tied your rope to either end, the bridge becomes taught such that you can bounce on it to reach new heights.Unravel 2 Fire Puzzle You can also twine the two Yarny’s together and move as one.

In each of the 7 levels, there is a backstory taking place, literally in the background. As you traverse each level you can see two young children trying to escape the grasps of two nasty-looking adults. Sometimes your actions with the Yarny’s will either help the children or hinder the chasers. This is a nice addition to the game which fills you with pride when you help out and intrigue, wondering what happened to the children.

The standard Yarny’s are red and blue. The game provides plenty of options to change the appearance, however. Straight out of the box, the game gives you several different colour choices.

Plenty of challenge to be found

Our only wish with the game is that the game was slightly longer. We had such fun playing it, all we wanted when we came to the end was more of the same!

Unravel 2 – Conclusion

To conclude, Unravel 2 is a brilliant little game, We do wish it was longer, however it is fairly priced when you take the length into account. As well as an enjoyable singleplayer experience, you can have so much fun when playing with a friend in couch co-op. If you had a child who you wanted to introduce to the Switch, this would be a perfect game to play together. That’s not to say that the game is for children, there is certainly some challenge to find if you seek it.

Unravel 2, certainly is a Front Page Favourite.
