Here's a little survey: I'm a huge fan of platformers and kinda want to start a channel to specifically talk about the genre in modern day. I'm aware that platformers nowadays are usually indie or budget titles and rarely catch too much attention. So I want to know how many of you guys are interested in seeing such a video series. Thanks.
Thanks for all of you's encouragement! I wants to do stuff in a review format. In each episode I'll review a platformer revolving a subject and under the assumption that my viewers all have some experiences with the genre. Currently, I feel many developers don't really understand what does Metroidvania means and make games that only scratch the surfaces of what made early 2D Metroid games and Castlevania games since Symphony great. I think it's a decent starting point to kick off some videos. What do you think?
***** You know what? I haven't played any Rayman yet. Such a shame! I just finished Axiom Verge though. That game is the perfection of Metroidvania formula in my opinion.
Love this game. I couldn't even watch the rest of the video to not spoil anything. Great puzzles, great presentation, and it also reminds me of little big Planet.
I played the free early access trial which had the first 2 levels with ea access and recently unravel was added to the vault so I decided I would play more because I enjoyed the trial. This game is amazing. Yarny shows real depth with his emotion and the visuals are beautiful. The puzzles and platforming aren't impossible but get harder over time. The only issue I have with this is that most of the small puzzles are extremely repetitive. They usually need you to move an object to help you climb higher or attach yarn to 2 knots to create a trampoline to let Yarny jump over an obstacle. The harder puzzles that require oh to think are much better but there aren't enough and instead they are replaced with the same puzzles I just mentioned. Also some puzzles require you to fail to understand the puzzle and others must be done in one attempt such as jumping from a falling ice tower to the next falling ice tower and then to the next. I would say this deserves a 8/10 just because of repetitive
+Ibrahim Shahid7 You must realize that two different people reviewed this an the cod games. Just because it is posted on the same site does not mean they all have the same opinion on scoring games.

I honestly got this game because I knew the developers that made it put their whole heart into. It honestly made playing the game feel so much better because you could see their love for their character and the world they created for him. Unravel is a game that conveys the passage of life. People and moments we love will come and go during our lifetime but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy it by being thankful for the small things.
I’m a 12 year old right now. I don’t like shooters. This is my favourite game. When i tell my friends this is my favourite game. Their common reaction is: “what the heck? This looks awful!”. And that makes me pretty sad! I hope i’m not the only 12 year old like this!
+Ree1981 If the comment wasn't directed towards you, then it wasn't for you. He was replying to the op. Now, this a statement directed towards you - you are not that important.
+LeinadCasey He could have been talking about either of them, both comments conveyed the same general message, stating the the music was "out of place" or "weird", especially considering Wataa! didn't actually put a tag on who he's referring to. It is odd how he said that they had bad taste, though, considering neither of them said that the music in question was "bad", but that it was out of place, which I agree with.
My cousin came a few days ago but I didn't have any games that he enjoyed and the ones he wanted to play were to mature for him. So we went to the store and found this. I am so glad we bought it now. And it's nice and cheap for such an amazing game. But how did IGN only give it 8.3? It should've got 8.8 - 9.0!
Wow, a good, honest IGN review that focuses on some of the greatness of the game and doesn't allow a few small hinderings to destroy the overall score. Good job!
The graphics are great the story is touching, the problem with a lot of comments i read is that the game is frustrating. Its not a mediocre game far from it , but you will get stuck you will have to redo a lot of levels and the last level will either make you quit the game or have patience and continue, for now i decided to stop playing. Good thing it was only 20$ on the PS4
The game looks stunning , some of the concepts were probably copied from the kirby yarn games and Yoshy's wooly world . Despite that I think they are giving Nintendo a real run for their money comparing this to their wool/yarn/clay animation titles .
+EXTREMEPOSTY O what about little big planet????when i see this i thought some concept were copied from little big planet specially the engine and the looks! and some level design too look 2:04
+garrettkidney To be honest he never said the gameplay was bad. The only bad thing I heard was regarding the platformer elements and if Megaman and Shovel Knight are allowed to get away with that I can certainly give this one a chance.
Was on the fence waiting for IGN to post review, im sold now. Looks like a great weekend run to relax to and get away from FPS for a min. Def wanna support Coldwood Interactive although EA is the Devil.
paussi00 go on rotten tomatoes and look at deadpool's score, and then go on metacritic and look at unravel's score. And please, let's not start a debate, pls man
Retribution892 I just don't think they should have scores based on a single person, for the matter of opinion, they should probably take various scores from people in the office, and then they should average the scores, anyway, let's stop, it's silly to talk about this

Repetitive puzzles and some of the stages.
Way to spoil the fantastic swedish folk music by adding some generic simple jazz beat over the whole thing.
I finally passed this game. Took me years. It was difficult. But satisfying. Gets easy towards the end but brutal in the middle.
Average first person shooter

only reason Im interested in the game

is the firewatch review up soon? still cannot decide between them.
Unravel is a great game, very challenging and hands down one of the best looking platforms for the new console.
The game is a platformer with "average platforming"... 8.3 - IGN
its from IGN what can you expect
well he's right, it's not a very good platformer - more abt the experience than anything else
Yeah it is more about the vibe of the game, and the story, it's not supposed to be a tight Mario like platformer
Definitely going to try and get this game. Been interested in it ever since its e3 reveal.
This game is a true piece of ART from Electronic Arts....
On sale for $4until March 18 2020
Still more content then battlefront

Christoper Bacani never played little big planet
this looks like limbo but more vibrant and cheerful
lol if anything its like little big planet
+ChibaGaming JP Looks far better than Little Big Planet. I think say it's Limbo mechanics meets Little Big Planet style would be pretty accurate.
what's the game on PS4, X-Box 1, all of them?
Was not expecting to love this as much as I did
this game looks awesome , i will give it a try
Where do I buy this game it's not on steam D:
Why is the score so low?
Should I pick up Unravel or Firewatch?
Unravel
Do it have platinum trophy or gold?
This is the dude who was super shaky at e3. Props to you for actually caring for your game
what console is this game on?
how mush hours?
Why can't games with a strong story also have good gameplay too?
Well I mean there is Halo (before 5), Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Fallout series, The Witcher, The Arkham series, etc... so hope isn't really lost yet!
+Joe Betz I LOVE the Uncharted games but they have to most basic cover shooting gameplay possible.
+garrettkidney yeah it does I think U4 is changing it up a little bit
+Joe Betz The last Fallout and Arkham games had a terrible story.
+garrettkidney To be honest he never said the gameplay was bad. The only bad thing I heard was regarding the platformer elements and if Megaman and Shovel Knight are allowed to get away with that I can certainly give this one a chance.
it's like pikmin 3 and yoshi's wooly world combined
Im glad this games good. The creator seemed like such a nice bloke at E3 when this was announced.
score is a bit low but that is my personal opinion
+VaultBoy-Repair should have been lower
+gamerplay why i like the game
They're adding this to the vault July 12th, and I almost just bought it, it would have been BF4 premium all over again.
IGN please stop making me watch the 30 second Lego Star Wars ad every video.
4:37 that's like every ign video
Is it 2 player or just the sequel 2 player?
Was on the fence waiting for IGN to post review, im sold now. Looks like a great weekend run to relax to and get away from FPS for a min. Def wanna support Coldwood Interactive although EA is the Devil.
How is this a "average platformer"
This game is free to download at Origin (10h) for them who wanna test before buying. I want this! :D Thanks for the review IGN.
Would have bought it if it wasn't published by EA.
lol, i feel ya bro
+Engel Ok.
Meh
+Engel Come on ...Support the devs not the publisher
your really robbing yourself of something good
the graphics and atmosphere look truly amazing!
Just finished it. It's at least a 9. Beautiful game.
just downloaded this! i love it.. the music is gorgeous. some great puzzles.
10/10 I finished the whole game it was amazing
Are there microtransactions? It's EA right?
No DLC, No micro transaction.
I saw and purchased :)
Great game!
It's like 4 quid on PSN right now.
Why 8.3????
Love this game ,would be perfect if u could create and share lvls online but there's not much replay value it already needs dlc.

All I want is for this game to sell well.
he kinda looks like a pikmin

I don’t think Little big Planet 4 would have a chance. This feels so similar.
This looks like it was made in the Little Big Planet level creator
Zzfju
It's between this or Firewatch. This or Firewatch. This... or Firewatch...
I have EA access and I got it early I give it a 9/10.. a beautiful fun and charming game...

I cried after I used the photo album, I'm very emotional XD
It is now included in EA Access
Happy that nervous guy's game got a great review
This is why I love playstation.. They are such a diverse platform
wow, I told myself if it got higher than an 8 i would consider getting it. now i have to consider getting it.
Already preordered, downloaded and I cannot wait to play it
By IGN logic (not intending taking any credit from this game), this game is a better game, than the Deadpool movie is as a movie
To be honest, maybe it is.
paussi00 go on rotten tomatoes and look at deadpool's score, and then go on metacritic and look at unravel's score. And please, let's not start a debate, pls man

+GINSHINKZL s Except maybe the score is slightly generous given that the platforming is supposed to be meh
+GINSHINKZL s the platforming itself is ok, nothing too special though. the game lives from its beauty, nature, melancholy and puzzles
reminds me of Mr. Fantastic Fox

+Ph Ph Witness, Firewatch and Unravel, im getting em all.
