Short & sweet
Unravel Two
A platformer about two yarn creatures tied together by one thread. Short enough to finish in a weekend.
- PC
- PlayStation
- Xbox
- Switch
Why couples might love it
Being tethered means you move as a pair: one anchors the thread while the other swings across a gap or climbs a wall. Most puzzles come down to timing that handoff.
If one of you gets stuck, the two Yarnys can merge so the more confident player carries both through a tricky section. That makes it work for mixed skill levels.
What you actually do together
- Swing, climb and rappel on your shared thread
- Solve physics puzzles in Scandinavian landscapes
- Merge into one Yarny when someone needs a break
Best for
- A weekend game you can actually finish
- Partners who like scenery
- Couples with different skill levels
Good when you’re in the mood to relax together or couch co-op.
Things to know before playing
- Local co-op only. You need to be on the same couch.
- Around 6–8 hours for the main story.
- A few later levels get tense, but checkpoints are frequent.
Our verdict
A short, well-made co-op platformer. Not deep, but a good choice for a rainy weekend.
