Through the looking-glassĪs you progress, you’ll unlock different portal abilities. Each clever puzzle encourages you to play around with your power and its effect on the world, which makes it all the more satisfying to solve. For example, a giant spider will chase you through a small passageway, but when you toggle the portal, a pillar appears to safely block the creature. This changes your immediate surroundings to that of another dimension, allowing you to overcome an obstacle in the present world.
Here, you tap L1 to open up a circular portal around you.
For those familiar, it works like the Spirit World in The Medium. The portal mechanic is the most interesting and innovative aspect in what could’ve been a fairly generic platformer. However, none of that really matters too much, as the excellent gameplay does all the heavy lifting. which, while competently written, isn’t all that engaging and you’ll probably find yourself skipping through a lot of the lore. In terms of story, it’s a fairly standard fantasy fare – evil forces, magic crystals, an Order of Guardians etc.
UNBOUND WORLDS APART XBOX SERIES
Each world is a series of interconnected ‘tunnels’ which you’re free to explore within the limits of your power-ups (again, a nod to Hollow Knight). When demonic forces break through the long-sealed gates, you set out on a journey to stop the evil forces returning to this once-peaceful land. You play as Soli, a kid who can harness the power of magical crystals scattered throughout the land. At first glance, it’s not a million miles away from classics such as Hollow Knight, both in content and art direction.ĭon’t let the cutesy, hand-drawn animation fool you, though – this game will you put you through your paces with challenging but highly rewarding gameplay. Unbound: Worlds Apart is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer with Metroidvania elements.
