Unboxathon (2025)

If you like collecting things and opening packages and clicker games, Unboxathon might be the game for you – it is a well-made game, with a pleasant soundtrack and enough achievements to keep you going for a while.

I wouldn’t expect too much from Unboxathon, as the trailer shows everything you will probably experience. You can take your time with it, or simply have it run in the background (when you reach a strong way of making passive income). But overall, the game does well to kill time. A big issue I had was when I reached pretty far into the upgrade trees and newer boxes, the bubbles would randomly stop spawning new boxes. This would happen every time I would open a new menu. My only fix would be to close the game and boot it back up. After a while this issue stopped, but it was weird. I mean, Unboxathon will find its audience for sure, but from me, it gets the Thumb Culture Silver Award.

Unboxathon scores 7.0 out of 10 for turning a simple, delightful mechanic into a well‑crafted incremental loop. The tactile popping, charming presentation, and layered upgrades make it immediately fun, and the collection goals add meaningful long‑term hooks. It loses points for occasional pacing dips, limited late‑game variety, and a few polish gaps, but at the current $6.99 price it’s an easy recommendation for fans of casual clickers and collectors.
