Unbox: Newbie's Adventure

HVIS game is one of my favorite games kinda short but fun but sometimes things that are collected will not be registered still would recommend 7.3/10

Maybe having self delivering boxes isn’t as good of an idea as it sounds. And that’s what this game’s about. You are a box, you go around completing side quests, helping a postal service with its various jobs while also collecting stuff lying around, evading obstacles and maybe even battle some enemies in the process. What enemies? More boxes of course, an annoying bunch that only serve to make you waste time by blasting you off, force you to participate in a boss fight or represent the impending doom in the plotline. You know, the usual. The world itself is full of other boxes to talk to, a 3D landscape to explore thanks to the ability of “jumping” in the air up to 6 times in a row, vehicles to move around faster and lots of collectibles. These include 200 tapes per world, various trapped boxes and some hidden stamps added to the ones you already receive for completing the side quests. Since there are 4 maps including the hub world, you can probably beat the game in around 8-10 hours. As decent as this may sound, the main reason it doesn’t work is the gameplay. The controls sometimes simply don’t do as intended. Sometimes they can get stuck with too much momentum at times, others without enough. You could even get stuck by hitting invisible objects. Moreover, this becomes even worse in the driving sections, which you have to do if you’re going for 100%, as you accelerate with the left stick forward and turn with the right stick which also moves the camera. Yes, you heard that correctly, no other buttons are used to accelerate, break or turn. Oh, and the car can get flipped and take multiple attempts to get back into place, which becomes really cumbersome during the time trials. Adding insult to injury we have the story. I’m not going to spoil how it ends just in case, but it’s nothing to write home about. Pretty simple plotline all around. However, the cutscenes can be kind of annoying to watch as the dialogue scrolls very slowly and you can’t skip each line individually as the button only serves to skip the whole scene. At least you’re not missing much as the lines throughout aren’t particularly funny nor creative. They sound too childish and that’s greatly exemplified by the various NPCs you come across as well as sign posts. Lastly, the presentation is overall nothing spectacular nor well crafted. It’s relatively mediocre both in the models and the background art, having the placement of the collectibles serve as its main purpose. I can’t really recall any tracks from the OST either. However I can recall the 2 instances when the game crashed as I was trying to jump off a sled in an ice level. Considering that it’s been many years since the game launched already and the bug is still there somehow, I can’t see it being fixed at all. To sum up, not a game I can recommend at all since nowadays there’s so much better options available in the market. This one doesn’t cut it due to its lack of quality. Maybe you can try it if you’re curious. I don’t see the experience being that pleasant.
