Unravel Two review

Unravel Two is the softest game on this list and a good fit for couples who want to relax rather than race a timer. Each player controls a Yarny, a small creature made of yarn, and the two are joined by a single thread, so you swing, climb and anchor each other through puzzles. The Steam page lists local co-op and a single-player mode where one person controls both Yarnys, which is handy if one partner wants to practice. The settings are inspired by real Scandinavian locations and the art is the most striking here. It costs $19.99 on Steam. It ranks lower because Steam lists only shared or split-screen co-op, with Remote Play Together as the online option, and its Steam rating is Mostly Positive rather than the higher marks of the top picks. On PC it also needs an EA account and the EA app.
