That’s because the game about the experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home will be released for PS4 and PS5 on May 10. If you are unfamiliar with the title, it’s a game about taking someone’s items out of boxes and learning about that person’s life in the process. Unpacking starts in 1997 and moves forwards through time, and is a part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration game where you are tasked with creating a living space while learning clues about the life you’re unpacking. Throughout eight house moves, you are given a chance to experience a sense of intimacy with a character you never see and a story you’re never told. The winner of 14 awards and finalist for as many awards, BAFTA’s 2021 Game of the Year has a strong rating on OpenCritic and a score of 86 on Metacritic. It was also one of the top-selling indie games of 2021 on Switch, and a gem of a game, according to VG247’s Tom Orry. Currently, you can pick it up for PC, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It is also available through Game Pass.
