ImpulsegamerDean YamakJun 20263.5/5Overall I found One Move Away to be a fun, interesting but short experience. I enjoyed the potential in the physics, but missed the lack of depth. I think that's why I always kept thinking back to Unpacking and lamenting the differences. If you're looking for a relaxed experience, I recommend One Move Away – particularly after the recent patch. But maybe keep an eye out for a sale on Steam, because I'm not sure the puzzle mechanics and hints at story will offer most players enough depth to feel like it's worth spending the extra hours on.
