Great puzzles and one of the best plots seen in a video game make this a must-buy
One of the best parts of this game is its immersive plot. Unwound Future, despite being the third game, hold up well as a standalone experience. The main characters are very deep and have realistic human qualities. Voice casted scenes really sell their unique personalities. The story itself is a real thriller with many twists and turns to keep you playing. Sprinkled in with regular gameplay are beautifully animated cutscenes. At times it feels like your watching a movie. No Ds game has a better plot or emotional appeal then Unwound Future.
The audio of this Unwound Future is definitely a step-up from its predecessors. The soundtrack is very fitting and blends in with the action. Character voices are also fitting. Good voice acting can have a very great effect on games.
The actual game play of Unwound Future is pretty good. The puzzles are almost entirely unique and very rarely are the same type. So if you hate "find the shape" puzzles. You'll only have to expect 1 or 2. The hint system is very useful. You can find hint coins in background environments by tapping suspicious objects like signs. They can then be spent to unlock help for puzzles. There's a limited amount of hint coins though so you want to be conservative. The only real flaw with the puzzle game play is sometimes you can get a frustrating type of puzzle that you hate, but are forced to do.
Unwound Future is graphically impressive. The environments are nice to look at and have a European flair. The characters are like caricatures and look over exaggerated. This makes some characters look charming, while it also makes other characters downright grotesque.
Once you complete a puzzle, it probably won't challenge you again. This has a negative impact on Unwound Future's replayability. There are many mini games to entertain you though. Like a driving puzzle game where you have to get the car from start to finish.
All in all Professor is has an amazing plot, great audio and visuals, and good puzzle based game play. If you like a puzzle, this game is a must-buy.
