This illustrates how Unbound: Worlds Apart’s level design works so well. This is especially true for the end of the game. You only have access to one of these abilities at a time, but as you progress in the game you start to switch back and forth between them regularly. For example in one section you might be able to manipulate gravity and in the next the game lets you stop time. Unbound: Worlds Apart basically gives you all of these twists in the same game and yet it still works really well due to each section of the world giving you access to a different type of portal. A lot of puzzle platformers may have one twist on your typical platformer such as manipulating gravity. What really makes Unbound: Worlds Apart stand out is the implementation of the portal mechanic. The game would still be quite fun, but it might not be a particularly new experience for those that play a lot of games from this genre. If you look at the individual pieces Unbound: Worlds Apart may not look all that different from other games from the genre. There have been a number of platformers where you can manipulate the gravity or the passage of time with the press of a button. Even a lot of the portal abilities have been utilized in other platforming games. The game has no combat so you are basically just jumping around avoiding dangers and getting across gaps with your platforming abilities. On the surface Unbound: Worlds Apart might seem a lot like your typical puzzle platformer. You will use an area’s portal ability along with your other normal abilities in order to complete platforming challenges and solve puzzles. Some of these powers include time manipulation, inverting gravity, super strength, and even shrinking your size. Each of these worlds gives your portal a different power. There are sections of the map where you can’t open up portals, but most of the world is separated into different sections with each section opening up a portal to a different world. The thing that distinguishes Unbound: Worlds Apart though is the fact that you can open up portals and take advantage of the special properties of other worlds. As you acquire additional abilities you sometimes have to visit past locations in order to reach areas that you previously weren’t able to reach.Īt this point the game may sound like every other puzzle platformer.
You use these abilities to reach various objects which you need to use to progress in your adventure. This is mostly done through platforming as you are initially given a single jump and you unlock additional abilities such as a dash and wall jumps as you progress through the game. The basic goal of the game is to get from location to location avoiding the dangers that block your way.
Can Soli gather the strength to stop the evil threat before it is too late?Īt its core Unbound: Worlds Apart is a puzzle platformer mixed with some elements of a Metroidvania. Soli’s world is put into danger when an evil force breaches Soli’s world through a portal destroying everything that gets in the way. Soli has the ability to open portals between worlds to take advantage of the unique qualities of each. The game takes place in a universe where every world is connected to one another through portals. In Unbound: Worlds Apart you play as Soli, a young mage. Unbound: Worlds Apart is a fun and engaging puzzle platformer with a unique twist on the typical game from the genre. Outside of being a puzzle platformer which I generally love, I was intrigued by the whole portal mechanic as it looked like it added some interesting possibilities to the game. Today I am looking at Unbound: Worlds Apart which released last week. Because of my love of the genre, I have played a lot of games from it in the past with various twists impacting how you platform and solve puzzles. The genre honestly might be my favorite as I really enjoy both puzzle games and platformers. Any regular readers of Geeky Hobbies will likely know that I am a huge fan of puzzle platformers.
