Buildings Have Feelings Too! vs Unravel
Buildings Have Feelings Too!
Buildings Have Feelings Too! is definitely one of the weirder games that I’ve reviewed and the “oddity” that it exudes might not just be everyone’s cup of tea. In this game, you play as, I assume, a construction business-slash-building, and your goal is to revitalize the many rundown sectors of the city. Different locations will offer you different quests with very different requirements, and as you complete the quests, you’ll learn more about what caused the buildings to be abandoned or shunned, via the dialogues. It’s an interesting take on the city-building genre I’ll give it that, but the game has a very annoying gameplay aspect that turns it into a “miss” than a “hit” for me.To sum it up, Buildings Have Feelings Too isn’t the sort of game that might appeal to everyone. The gameplay itself feels more puzzly than an actual city-builder and it can be very quest-oriented so if you’re hoping for more sandbox-style gameplay, this game simply isn’t it. The game admittedly has some flaws, but if you’re the sort who enjoys niche puzzle games, the game is still worth checking out.
Unravel
Unravel is a very unique puzzle-platformer that features an adorable yarn-made character that’s aptly called Yarny. With a heart-warming story that has no words to drive the game, you’ll get to set off on a beautiful adventure with Yarny as he tries to reconnect the long-lost memories of his family.The gameplay in Unravel is simply amazing. Being a physics-based puzzle game, players will need to use Yarny’s single thread to interact with the gorgeous game environment, which was inspired by the beautiful forests of Northern Scandinavia by the way, to swing across a wide gap or hitch a ride on a flying kite. Although the puzzles may seem difficult or maybe impossible at first, the tools that you/Yarny has is more than enough to solve them.
Unravel is not only a fun and challenging puzzle game but it also provides players with an emotional, heartfelt journey and a charming character to play as. It’s an excellent game and is one you should definitely play especially if you’re into games from this sort of genre.
