Great despite the issues – Unlock! Review

My family loves this game. There are some major hiccups in most of the adventures where we get confused how something is supposed to work. This can really hurt the experience, especially combined with how many completely useless hints there are. For example, we notice how the shapes on this card match up with another card. We know that if we connect those shapes it should make a code but don’t know how we get from the 4 shapes to 4 numbers. Hint: “if you match the shapes they will relate to numbers”. Uh yea, we know. But we just don’t know how! Most of the hints are either obvious like this or on the other end of the spectrum where it just tells you the answer. No middle-ground. But despite this, there is nothing else which offers this kind of experience at this level of quality and that keeps us coming back!
