Tearaway Unfolded is a lovely-looking game. As you might expect from the makers of LittleBigPlanet, it's a visually textural treat. Only rather than having the more fabric-based look and feel of LBP, this time out everything in this game from its characters to the scenery and backdrops looks like...

When I first played Tearaway back in 2013, I adamantly argued that Media Molecule's delightful and imaginative platformer wouldn't be possible without the PlayStation Vita. The Vita's medley of distinct inputs-from the touch screen to the front- and rear-facing cameras-allowed for genuine...

Creative and effective use of the DualShock 4; Stunning art style; Cute and charming world; Creatively solving puzzles is rewarding

Papercraft world; Art challenges; Use of DualShock 4

Pacing problems; Repetitive fights
