Unravel Two is nothing short of the most delightful and cutesy platformer this side of Kirby's Epic Yarn. In fact, thanks to its mix of yarn ball protagonists and a real-world setting awash in autumnal colour palettes and floral scenery, it might be even more loveable.

Gameplay-wise it's a physics-based side-scroller, and though you can play solo, swapping between both characters to complete puzzles, it takes on a life of its own once you and a partner tackle everything together. Suddenly you're tandem-swinging, catching one another, forming tightropes so one of you can reach far-away collectibles.

It looks stunning, has just the right difficulty curve across the main progression, and even unlocks a swathe of stupidly-hard platforming gauntlets if you want a more severe challenge when all's said and done.
