13 Awesome Summer 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed

12. Unravel Two

This sequel to 2016's cute indie platformer Unravel was shadow-dropped during EA's E3 press conference back in June, and a wonderful surprise though it was, the stealthy release also allowed it to slip through the cracks and be quickly forgotten about.

A solid improvement over its predecessor, Unravel Two takes onboard the most vocal player complaints about the first game - namely some infuriating puzzle elements - and streamlines the entire experience while smartly hurling co-op play into the mix.

Playing this game with a pal is an utter, giddy joy, requiring players to align their thinking together in order to progress. The level of difficulty feels just right, in that it won't frustrate kids nor will it seem too easy for adults. And more to the point, it's just a few hours long, making it a gentle, enjoyable palate cleanser between AAA romps.

Maybe once you've finished Spider-Man and before you start Shadow of the Tomb Raider, give this bite-sized blast a spin. It absolutely deserves your money.
