Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Maybe back in 2016 this would of been an acceptable game as there were not many new Collect-a-thon platformers coming out at the time or at all really that emulated Banjo Kazooie. But in today's age or even back then, compared to any other game that was already out prior to Unbox and in our current year, this game isn't very good. It feels like a first project for a new studio which I congratulate them as they were successful in creating a platforming game but there is not much substance, it is very Average. I first took interest in this product because I thought it was funny that someone made a platformer where you play as a box and to be honest thats where the charm comes from as every main npc has a unique personality. The writing and the story revolve around this concept as well and it contain many jokes about deliveries and other postal references with meta humor. As far as that goes though, it is the only thing that makes this game stand out. The 3 worlds you explore are pretty bland, as they looks like they just bought some unity assets and created a game around it. The collectibles are pretty much the same case and are spread too thin across the levels you play in with there being over 200 per level. The levels in general feel huge and very far apart. While playing I had moments where I was running around struggling to find stamps because of how much space there is. There is a character in the game that if you talk to them, they can reveal the location of the stamp (The things you need to fight the boss and complete the level) by showing you for a brief second a live location, but since everything looks the same, you have no idea where exactly this location is, and there isn't a map you can look at either. The movement for the most part is okay? You do get to go pretty fast and jump pretty high as you have a double jump move that can be activated 6 times. However, there have been multiple occasions where my box got stuck on the terrain because the box rolls and... well its a cube... because of this your box can get stuck very often on certain edges, killing your momentum. This is also prevalent when jumping close to a wall as touching the wall makes you lose height. The Quest in each level are nothing exiting, a little boring and they also make you do the same ones on every island, with the only thing changing being the dialogue. The boss fights are also not that good, the last one was a nice change and probably the only fun one out of all of them. I think the only World I enjoyed was the Hub world and that was because it was not that big and felt fun to explore as all the collectibles were near each other and placed well. If the game would of been more like the Hub world, where it was a more focused experience with good item placements, then the experience would of been much better. If you're interested in the game, I would say just skip it and play something else. Again its not a terrible game, its just not very good and there are a lot of really good collect-a-thon platformers out there that completely outshine this one.

无中文,不知道真么玩,没法好评
To much cut scene and dialog
vei 3.6 tuntia löytää viimeiset (40) teippiä. mahtava peli näin 8 vuoden jälkeenkin - item finder: joskus siirtää kameran seinien sisälle, kun yrittää löytää kerättäviä esineitä + aika kapselit iteltä vielä käymättä, joten toiset 20 tuntia siihen voi mennä
Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure, developed by Prospect Games and published by Merge Games, is a charming 3D platformer that offers players a whimsical journey through vibrant, imaginative worlds. The premise is delightfully unique — you play as Newbie, a sentient cardboard box on a mission to deliver packages across a variety of colorful environments. This quirky concept immediately sets it apart from many other platformers, providing a fresh twist on the genre by combining exploration, platforming challenges, and light puzzle-solving into one cohesive experience. The game evokes a strong sense of nostalgia for fans of classic platformers while adding modern gameplay elements that keep it accessible and engaging. The gameplay centers on navigating open-world levels filled with diverse terrain, secrets, and collectibles. Newbie’s signature move — the ability to "unbox" himself to launch through the air — is not only fun but adds a dynamic layer to movement and exploration. This mechanic encourages players to experiment with different approaches to reach otherwise inaccessible areas, making platforming both fluid and creative. Levels are designed with multiple objectives in mind, such as delivering packages to specific locations, racing against time, or collecting items hidden throughout the world. This variety keeps the experience lively and encourages thorough exploration, rewarding players who take the time to uncover every nook and cranny. Visually, Unbox stands out with its bright, cartoonish art style that perfectly complements its playful and lighthearted tone. The environments range from sun-drenched beaches to quirky industrial complexes, each rendered with vibrant colors and rich details that invite curiosity and wonder. The character designs are equally delightful, with Newbie and other boxes sporting expressive animations that give them personality beyond their simple cardboard origins. The world feels alive and inviting, enhanced further by a cheerful soundtrack that matches the game’s upbeat energy and reinforces its whimsical atmosphere. While the game shines in many areas, it isn’t without its flaws. Some players and critics have noted occasional issues with the camera system and physics, which can sometimes disrupt the otherwise smooth platforming experience. These hiccups can cause frustration during precise jumps or tricky maneuvers, but they rarely detract significantly from overall enjoyment. Another common critique is that the gameplay can become repetitive over time, as the objectives and level design sometimes lack enough variation to maintain long-term interest. Despite these concerns, the core mechanics remain engaging, and the sheer joy of controlling a lively cardboard box in such a charming world often outweighs these shortcomings. The reception of Unbox has been generally positive among players, with many appreciating its fun and unique concept, as well as the sheer creativity behind the gameplay. The game has been praised for its lightheartedness and nostalgic appeal, making it especially attractive for casual gamers and fans of classic platformers. While it may not break new ground in terms of complexity or narrative depth, it offers a polished and enjoyable experience that feels like a loving tribute to the genre. For those looking for a relaxing and cheerful adventure with a dose of humor, Unbox delivers exactly that. In conclusion, Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure is a delightful indie platformer that combines inventive gameplay, charming visuals, and a whimsical premise to create a memorable experience. Its unique concept of playing as a living cardboard box on a mission to deliver packages brings fresh creativity to familiar platforming tropes. Though it faces minor technical issues and occasional repetition, these do little to diminish the overall enjoyment. With its engaging mechanics and vibrant world, Unbox is a standout title for players seeking a fun, family-friendly adventure that balances nostalgia with innovation. It may not be a genre-defining masterpiece, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable journey that leaves a smile on the face of anyone willing to step into the shoes—or flaps—of Newbie the box. Rating: 8/10
Amusant 10 minutes, le temps de realiser que c'est juste injouable
cute,clean
A good choice for fans of collectathon-style games. While the game is short and the story rather limited, I found the platforming and traversal enjoyable. There are definitely better options at full price, but I can't complain as I grabbed it during a 90% off.
