UnBound is a relaxing exploration game focused on collecting orbs across islands that players appreciate for its calming atmosphere and soothing soundtrack, though it suffers from significant technical issues including overly sensitive mouse controls that can't be properly adjusted, missing volume controls, and settings that fail to persist between sessions.

[h1] Purchase Date: [/h1] 16th of November 2025 - 16/11/2025 [h1] Purchase Value: [/h1] 0.99€ [h1] PROS & CONS Review: [/h1] PROS: + Relaxing. + Soundtrack. + Easy to 100% Steam achievements. CONS: - Gameplay optimization. - Mouse sensitivity is too high even when all the way down. - No option to adjust sound volume. - The settings aren't saved after booting up the game again. [h1] Text Review: [/h1] A basic exploration video game with the objective of collecting orbs scattered around the few islands available. Before I mention the positive aspects, I have to say the controls and settings are just terrible. The mouse sensitivity is way too high even when it's on the lowest value possible, there's no option to adjust the sound volume, and the settings do not save after booting up the game again. Although the controls and settings were poorly delivered, I have to admit that this title is indeed relaxing to play. Good for casual gamers, great for people who want to play something but only have 10 minutes available. The soundtrack, although it's good, it can also become annoyingly repetitive. The best part in this game is the survival game mode, even though I didn't like the way …

I got this game on Xbox Live Indie close to 15 years ago and remember loving it. Even keeping my Xbox 360 around just to play this game every now and then. I remember how calming it was to play the adventure mode when I was stressed. It was soothing to just run fast and collect orbs. I had considered many times to actually contact the dev to try and see if there was a way to play it on PC, but now I don't have to. Here it it! I will be returning to this one a lot. Thanks mojo games for bringing it to Steam. 10/10

Fun, relaxing game, really enjoyed just walking around the map collecting orbs. Challenge levels are a nice touch, wish there were more of them. I enjoyed the survival mode, but I wish once you collected all the orbs that the map would reset and respawn all the orbs. (Alternatively this could be an endless survival mode) Maybe a random mode where the map and orbs are randomly placed? Overall an enjoyable relaxing game.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
