    The best Vita game just became one of the best PS4 games. Utterly essential, buy this, so it can finally get the love it so richly deserves.

    Not just a 'director’s cut’ of the original. The new features are worth a purchase even if you played the PS Vita version.

    One of the best games on PS Vita transformed into a game that takes a great profit from Dual Shock 4 and adds some new areas and features. Iota has no rival as a postman.

    Tearaway Unfolded is a brilliant remake of the critically acclaimed Vita game. The mechanics are re-maped to work with the Dualshock 4 controller and works very well. Using all of the features of the controller you get full control over the world, and gets to help Atoi or Iota with their very important mission. Some of the tasks are pretty repetitive, but does not ruin the total experience.

    Tearaway Unfolded improves upon the original by adding innovative controls, a handy companion app, augmented reality features via the PS Camera, and a plethora of new content including expended environments with new quests. With this much whimsical content, it's going to be hard to tear away from my TV.

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

    Tearaway was one of the finest exclusive of PS Vita that used all the specificities of the hardware so this was not an easy port. Let's seeTearaway was one of the finest exclusive of PS Vita that used all the specificities of the hardware so this was not an easy port. Let's see how they did do it.

    Technically the game is a marvel with beautiful graphics (for what was a Vita game) but mostly an art direction (world of paper) close to perfection and full of ideas. It's also a game that will make all your devices (PS Camera, microphone, controller) shine. I didn't encountered any glitch or framerate issue during my playthrough so no complains on that domain neither.

    Concerning the gameplay it's a 3D platformer, rather classic in it's game design but with an execution like you've never seen before. It always finds new ways to use your controller. On the side you can use your creativity to create item. You'll have fun during all the campaign.

    The story is about saving the world (how surprising) from scraps that are taking all the creativity and colors away, there's something poetic about it but you won't be surprised. If you want to finish the game at 100% (there's lot of collectibles like any good platformer) you can expect around 15 hours of gameplay which is good for the genre.

    In conclusion Tearaway Unfolded is one of (if not THE) best 3D platformers available for the console and if you like the genre you have to play it. Too bad the story has some "déjà-vu" to really be a perfect game.    … Expand

    + Takes the "folded paper" concept and does everything interesting with it that can be done, with spectacular level designs and game mechanics that flow seamlessly together
    + Excellent use of all of the features on the Dual Shock 4 controller
    + Creative, ambitious, and wild attention to detail
    ? Not too challenging, ramps up the difficulty slowly, but some difficulty comes from problematic design
    ? A lot of fun side quests, though there are issues with some (particularly carrying a certain gopher)
    - A lot of little rough patches around the edges, small issues where things don't present smoothly, mostly due to the scope of the game and weirdness of a lot of the folding paper mechanics    … Expand

    Still as charming as the original game, this game is hindered by the same problems and with an overly long end portion.
