Professional reviews from gaming critics
Revealed during EA’s E3 2018 conference and announced as being available for purchase immediately after said reveal, Unravel Two was this year’s major stealth
As terrible as it may sound, what stuck with me the most about Unravel’s initial E3 reveal way back in 2015 wasn’t quite the game itself. In fact, it was the endearing mixture of nervousness/clear passion for the game that Martin Sahlin was showing as he took us through what exactly Unravel was. Three years later, and after commercial success, we’re back in the tiny shoes of Yarny, the aptly named protagonist of Unravel, but they’re not alone this time. Featuring brilliantly designed co-operative gameplay and a whole lot of heart, Unravel Two is a brief, but thoroughly entertaining journey.
Unravel Two is not unlike its predecessor. The added co-op adds more incentive for players to experience its charming presence.

Although I would’ve liked more challenge in the campaign, I still had fun with Unravel Two right up until the very end. Yarny is an adorable character that stole my heart right from the beginning, and the unique puzzles that come from both characters being literally strung together made for a fresh spin on co-op puzzle solving. I feel like I missed out on something special by playing by myself, and I think that if you get the opportunity you should definitely play the whole campaign with a friend. But if you’re like me and can’t find anyone else to play with, then you’ll still be able…
Unravel Two is a standup performance by developer Coldwood Interactive, improving on the original in nearly every way. Whether you have a friend to play with or not, Unravel Two is one of the finest puzzle platformers and couch co-op games in 2018. Though not everything is quite as manageable in single-player as in the main campaign and the narrative is lacking, my five hours with Yarny still had the same wonder as the original title -- just with much better mechanics.
When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.
Unravel Two comes up slightly short in comparison to the greatest in the genre, but it nonetheless provides a memorable and serene co-op experience.
Unravel Two takes some respectable risks with making a charming and competent cooperative experience, but pays the price by feeling more like a whimsical diversion than a true sequel.
The original Unravel delivered exciting platforming sequences, creative-but-repetitive puzzles, and a touching story exploring an elderly woman’s memories. Unravel Two doesn’t stray far from those core concepts, but by introducing a second Yarny to control either solo or cooperatively, it injects new ways to approach situations and expands the formula to create a better experience.
Every bit the tactile, heart-rending experience that the first game was, but with added layers of complexity thanks to co-op - as well as enhanced replay value - Unravel Two is a fuzzy, warm hug of a sequel that'll make you smile.
Unravel Two is priced as an indie game and worth the cost if you’re looking for a fun-filled puzzler that you can enjoy with a friend. It’s beautifully created worlds and unique perspective complement environmental puzzles that are a joy to solve. The two Yarnys abilities and cute antics will bring a smile to your face each time they high-five or hug each other after crossing a deep crevice. If you don’t ask too many questions of the story, you’ll get several enjoyable hours out of Un...
