Unboxing

The wait is over, and Unboxing has been released! I know many of you are eager to dive in to the latest release from BigFrog Studios, the folks behind the classic game Highlaundry, so let's get right to it!

First though, I want to thank everyone for being so supportive of the sponsorships I've added to my reviews. They bring in a bit of income to support my work, and really don't disturb the flow of the writing, so I think it's win-win.

Unboxing sticks close to the tried and true formula for a good box game. It uses the four basic steps of unboxing, which I refer to as "The Triad".

Tired of those boring colonoscopy photos? Try Proctograph! Thanks to advances in AI art, you can transform your colon into a mysterious jungle cave, or an alien landscape! Forget about those embarrassing polyps, ask your doctor about Proctograph today!

1. Get a box
2. Open the box
3. Collect the items
4. Discard the box

Simplicity in itself, and yet you soon find yourself immersed in the process, opening box after box as the hours slip by.

Ha ha. No, of course not. That would be way too much effort. You hire drones to do those things for you, so that you don't need to interact with the game at all. Now that's what I call progress!

Everyone loves wheat Thins. At least in the countries that haven't banned them. People have told us, however, that they get frustrated when their Wheat Thin snaps in half when trying to get some dip, so we are proud to introduce our newest product, Wheat Thicks!

That's right! Our new 1/2" thick crackers come with an aluminum core, so they are sure to stand up to even the thickest dips. Wheat Thicks. Look for them in any country where our other products are legal!

I cannot even begin to imagine what more you could desire from a game. It's sleek, it's streamlined, and you don't even need to play it. The future is here, my friend, and its name is Unboxing.

Box Otter has loot, and is a
Steam curator.

This is more of a clicker game than an idler game. The drones are incredibly slow and upgrading them doesn't seem to affect them. Waiting for them to do anything is painfully slow. The game also crashes to desktop every 3-5 minutes, so leaving it running and unattended doesn't quite work. Clicking is the way to go. The game seems to autosave often, so no progress is lost from the crashes and the game boots up quickly. There is no offline progress. It's quite unclear how things are actually affected by leveling them up at all, but leveling the boxes seems to make the loot worth more when you sell it. The game is a bit lacking at the time of writing this review, but it's alright at the price point. With some updates this could be a decent idler, but for now it's an alright clicker.

I'm not sure what to do to enjoy this game, but I hate to say it, but it's so boring even for $3. OK, I only played at bit over 30 minutes, but that was all I could handle. Please, if it gets better, let me know. It's possible I couldn't hang in there enough to give ti a fair rating.
