Side scrolling action puzzle game "Unravel" which manipulates the character of yarn and goes through beautiful nature in Northern Europe

Horizontal scroll action puzzle game which manipulates the character "Yanny" made of one woolen yarn and gets inspired by the scenery in the northern part of northern Europe is a "Unravel"is. Yarnie is equipped with "unique ability" unique to yarn, and it is possible to do dynamic action by flying around trees like Tarzan and doing rope descent like a firefighter, making full use of it, but on the other hand There are "constraints" unique to yarn, so to clear the stage skillful operation and flexible thinking are required. Since I felt a distinctive appeal to the imbalance of beautiful graphics and walking yarn · Yannie as much as it looks like live action, I actually tried to play Unravel.

One of the features of "Unravel" is the freedom action by the yarn character Yanie. For example, Yanie can fly trees like Tarzan using yarns extending from the body, dynamic action contrary to the cute appearance is exhilarating.

Also, Unravel may encounter scenes that can not be advanced with action alone. In such a case, it is necessary for the player to think about ways to narrow down the wisdom and think about it, but it is necessary to make good use of the characteristics of Yarnie's yarn and the characteristics of the thing falling on the stage and this is another habit and an interesting point is.

Actually, I will advance the stage while solving mysteries using Yanni as follows.

So, this time I will install Unravel PS 4 version and play it. At the first start, a message from Coldwood as a developer is displayed on the game screen.


When "New game" is displayed on the screen, press the button to start the game.


The movie starts at the beginning. It is a high-quality image that I think as a live-action photograph.


An old woman looking at something lonely.


I will stand up and try to move to the second floor, but I stop my feet with the stairs.


A picture is decorated beside the stairs.


After that, I take up the knitting yarn and climb the stairs ... ...


A red wool ball is a porridge from a basket.


I will roll downstairs as it is. Apparently the grandmother seems to have not noticed that he dropped a wool ball.


And something sticks out somewhere from where the wool ball falls. The character made of this red wool is "Yanny" which is the main character of the game.


I look up to Kyorochyo and around, slowly coming up to the chair.


When the camera is zooming out ......


You will be able to operate Yanie. Switching from movie to game play is totally seamless and it is the point that I do not know when it is possible to play.


You can move Yanie with the left stick of the controller and jump with "x" button.


As I moved, I found something that seemed to be album on the table where my grandmother dropped my eyes. Pressing the "□" button ...


The album opens.


However, there are only hawky pictures inside.


Close the album and explore further in the house.


In the house, furniture and everyday items are exquisitely arranged so that Yanie can move easily.


As we go forward, we found a photograph that says "thistle and weed".


When you press the "□" button, it is sucked into the photo ... ...


When you noticed, Yanie was moving outside the house.


I will walk Tech Tec as it is. Basically, Unravel is a so-called side scrolling game that progresses more and more in the right direction.


Yanie is surprised by butterfly who fly in front of you. Yanie is made very carefully and finely every single movement, full of humanity enough to forget what made of thread.


As I walked further along the grass, I noticed that Yanny's body gradually became thinner. Apparently Yanie seems to be able to move only the portion of the yarn forming the body.


Going to this point, "Yarn is not enough!" Is displayed and you can not go ahead. But do not worry, there are ways to go ahead. You can see that there is a small knot with red wool in the red frame portion of the sundial shown on the screen.


Press and hold the "R2" button on the controller towards this, and Yanie hits the yarn from inside the body.


Hold down the "R2" button and move your yanny to the left ... ...


Succeeded to defeat the sun clock.


When bringing yannie close to the yarn which was tangled at the upper part of the sundial ... ...


Yanie winds up the yarn and will be able to continue exploring further.


Yanni jumps while running.


You can fly far rather than jumping in a stopped state.


Furthermore, when an obstacle that Yernie can not jump over has appeared.


It is also possible to grab things and move them by pressing the "○" button and moving the yarnies.



When you press the "L2" button, Yanni bounces the wool which stretches from himself.


When defeating the left stick in the direction in which the wool stretches as it is, Yanie started to climb the wall using the yarn.


And if you jump to the pot that you just moved, you will be able to enter the area where the pot could not get in the way. In this way, Yannie's skillful action plus the things on the map, the game named Unravel is going to cross nature.


Then it appeared in front of the eyes, a red knotted knot.


As before, you can hook the yarn by long pressing the "R2" button.


If it jumps as it is, it is also possible to hang on the yarn "aaaaa" like Tarzan.


When releasing the "R2" button, the hooked yarns are away from the point, so you can also use the yarns to move in the air like Tarzan.


As you go through the stage, you discover a glittering background.


When approaching, it starts to move in the shape of a person ... ...


After a while it fell into Yanny 's hand. There are various memories in the stage like this, and Yanie collects it and turns around this.


Besides, the shiny face is ... ...


It is possible to climb.


A knot of red wool that appeared several times.


If you do not receive it even if you press the "R2" button from the ground, if you extend the thread after jumping ......


It is possible to hang.


Two knots of red wool are found.


If you press the "□" button on this side, Yanie will make a knot of the yarn.


Making two knots of wool yarn ......


You can bridge the wool. It is possible to ride on this bridge.


In addition, when you lower the left stick down on the bridge, Yanni will flutter like the following.


When you release the stick, Yanie gets a big jump with Pyo. It is OK if you go with this bridge to places you can not go by usually jumping.


In addition, hanging on the yarn ... ...


You can also create a knot by pressing the "□" button.


With this, it is possible to create a bridge at a height where there is no foothold.


Furthermore, if you push down the left stick downward at a high place and press the "×" button ......


You can get down.


Hold down the "L2" button and move to a place without a foothold ... ...


You can also drop a rope like a firefighter. If you fall freely from a high place, Yanie will die, so if you do this to prevent it.


A swirl of light can be seen in the wool portion of the round winding in the red frame part. This is the point of restarting the game.


Go ahead and encounter a big groove.


I get down and try to get over the wall with yarns ... ...


The stick that hooked the yarn comes out, and the water blows out the Dobadoba from the monument of the fish in the back.


Since Yanie enters the water and restarts from the restart point after a certain period of time ... ...


I managed to escape. However, water accumulated in the whole groove, it stopped going ahead.


In such a case, we will overcome the yarn's yarn and what is falling in the field. A bridge of yarn can also be used to move things, so use it to carry apple ... ...


I drop it in the water.


Because the apple floats on Pukapuka water, use this as a foothold ...


Jump!


If you can not move, press and hold down on the four-way controller.


Then Yanney sits down on the ground ... ...


It will restart from save point.


In addition, the following brooch of yarn is dropped on the field in some places. This is called "secret", it is possible to check the collection status of this in front of the photo stand that is the entrance of each stage.


And the following broach is what you can get at the stage clear.


The brooch that gotten is affixed to the grandmother's album, and the memories collected at the stage are also absorbed by the album.


After that, when you open the album, you can see that memories are reviving.



The basic operation and basic information of "Unravel" is like this, the one that actually plays and feels is beautiful graphics and high game quality, and Yanie's behavior is finer. How to use the characteristics of the yarn is very important in the game, but Yanny's action is also high, so there is difficulty on the stage that you can play happily even if you like action games. Since there are almost no hints except for the first stage, it is necessary to go through the stage with trial and error while moving Yanny around, so you can realize the enemy that is classified as a game genre "action puzzle" every time you advance the game It will become like. In Unravel there are no developments such as enemy monsters appearing and fierce battle spreading .... It is also characterized as being able to proceed with the game in a relaxed atmosphere, so it is said that "I want to be healed by the cute appearance of Yanny" or "Action puzzle People who like solving puzzles like "If you are sure to play once.
