What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Click objects, take notes, and disarm the bombs as you progress through a multitude of puzzles for which you only have half the information and need your partner to provide the rest in this noir inspired story.
As a 2-player co-op only game, you can't play the game without having another person buy and play the game with you on a different device.
This is for people who don’t want to think too hard and feel smart.
More variety in puzzle and some replayability.
Some of the voice acting wasn’t the best, but as is, Unboxing the Cryptic Killer is a decent, yet frustrating experience that I never see myself revisiting this game that I’m glad I managed to even beat this game.
The main positives are the low price and the nice art style.
Theme by theme

No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
