My interest in Unpacking is zero. A game about taking items out of boxes to fill new apartments and houses did not excite me at all. The game looks good, I have seen it at least at a show streaming event, but it was released in November when I had 1 million and other things to report, which solidified the fact in my heart that this is what I want I simply ignore it. Then the magic of the game pass took over, I installed Unpacking on a whim, and I can’t believe that I like to put plates as much as I do.
To be clear, I haven’t even seen a photo album of the game, so I haven’t seen how the subtle environmental story works (even though the game is already well done, without saying a word), but I I just want to give you a gentle push and let everyone try it as soon as possible.
Basically, you have one or more rooms to fill up with things. your things. What you carried with you from your previous family and life must now have a place in your new home. Click on a cardboard box and display an item, and then you can place this item in your room/home to a certain extent, whatever you want.
These things really need to go to the right place, otherwise the game will shame you with red highlights, which shows that you can’t put things away like a normal functioning adult. Fuck you, game! Why can’t I put the big knife on the drain board in the kitchen? If I want to cut a sweet potato in half and make dishwashing a potentially deadly game, then it is easy to access.
I have seen many people talking about Unpacking as a good casual game, but I found that it is definitely not the case. On the one hand, I want the room to look perfect. Books must be placed in order of size, shoes must be neatly placed together, jeans should be folded, shirts should be buttoned, socks should be available. The mark on the wall must be covered with a poster or photo frame.
Gosh, please let me put all the tea and coffee making tools together. I just don’t want to put sugar in a cabinet different from coffee. Why do I have to choose which childhood toys can be placed on the shelf while others are hidden? I am thinking about a mistake I made while writing this article. I subconsciously think that I have become the person with the items I have been dealing with. Would they be sad because I put away the pig plush toys? I think they might be. Feel sorry. There is just no space.
In short, try Unpacking. This is the charm of Game Pass in my eyes. Yes, it is great value for money, but it is also a service that allows you to try things that you might overlook. 15 pounds is not wealth by any means, but you may hesitate because of seemingly busy work. I have seen a small part of what Unpacking has to offer, but I am already jealous that I didn’t come up with this idea myself. This is the kind of game you would laugh at before you try it.
