Top Video Games of 2016 (So Far) – Part 1

Unravel

Format PlayStation 4, Xbox One Developer Coldwood Interactive

In a nutshell, Unravel introduces Yarny, a new, lovable and endearing character made from a single thread of yarn, that slowly unravels as you move.  Inspired by the unique and breath-taking environments of Northern Scandinavia, Unravel is a visually stunning, physics-based puzzle platformer. Using yarn to swing from tree branch to tree branch or hitch a ride on a flying kite, no feat is too big. Yarny is brought to life as the representation of the ties that bind loved-ones together.  Embark with Yarny on a seemingly larger than life adventure to reconnect the long-lost memories of a family. Told completely without words, experience an exciting and heartfelt story about love, hope and the journey of life.

We enjoyed this game due to its beautiful graphics, good story and adorable protagonist. The puzzles started off fairly easy but got pretty intricate as Yarny’s adventure continued.

Unravel was released on February 9, 2016 (my birthday!)
