After spending a weekend playing Tearaway Unfolded I'm starting to understand how acid heads feel after one of those life altering trips you hear about. I have to keep checking myself from grabbing the nearest person by the collar, shaking them, and yelling into their face, "You don't understand!

Though Tearaway Unfolded does wonders with paper, it sometimes leaves you feeling flat.

Beautiful; believable craftsmanship in a paper world; Buoyant personality and charming tunes; Imaginative input treats the game like a wondrous toy box

Pacing flattens out often in-between so-so platforming; Your creativity doesn't extend beyond decoration

It's basically an entirely new game.

PS Vita games that are ported to the PlayStation 4 make me very skeptical. Most ports are limited by the power of Sony's handheld system, so they have to add something extra to make them worthwhile.

Whimsical and nostalgic; Lovely visuals; Plethora of content; Innovative controls; Excellent voice-acting

Needs a sprint feature; Slow beginning; Tags

Tearaway Unfolded has an inspired art style and memorable music, but both the gameplay and the story are rather undemanding.

Beautiful; lavishly rendered world; Inspired voice acting and music; Makes use of unique PS4 features

Simplistic gameplay; Insubstantial story; Extra features feel like gimmicks

Tearaway on PS Vita was an inventive, charming platformer and a proof of concept for Sony's handheld. The Vita became the game, and vice versa, for a magical union that remains one of the handheld's very best titles.

If you didn't know already, I don't think you'd tweak that Tearaway Unfolded started life on the PS Vita. As one of the handheld's premiere titles, Media Molecule made great use of in-built camera, touch screen and rear touchpad, yet now on PS4 it's as if it was meant to be here all along.

Tearaway is a really unique game with a truly unique story. I was impressed by its world when I first got a gli...

Great game. Bought it for the kids but I play it instead now. Absolutely fantastic environments.

Just as it did on Vita, the genius behind Tearaway's design philosophy shines on PlayStation 4. Tearaway: Unfolded for the PS4 isn't a remaster or port, it's a game remade from the ground up for a new platform.

Clever and holistic use of the PlayStation 4's features; Heartfelt and thought-provoking themes of creativity and personal storytelling; Charming and endearing humor and tone; Budget title at $40

Some of the original game's features are relegated to a companion app; Still a relatively short game
