    All I can say is that Metrico is one of the best platformers for PS Vita. It has interesting design, nice music and great gameplay. Metrico is very unique, you can't find any game like this on any other platform.

    A must play for a puzzle game fan. It's got some of the most complex and rewarding puzzles I've ever experienced in a video game. There's also no form of hand-holding whatsoever. Completing these puzzles is solely up to you and your wits here. The solutions aren't always difficult, but with so many working parts the simple solution is often obscured leading to some great brain-teasers.A must play for a puzzle game fan. It's got some of the most complex and rewarding puzzles I've ever experienced in a video game. There's also no form of hand-holding whatsoever. Completing these puzzles is solely up to you and your wits here. The solutions aren't always difficult, but with so many working parts the simple solution is often obscured leading to some great brain-teasers. It's always rewarding to make it past a particularly difficult puzzle once you realize what you were missing.

    The game also ties in platforming and just about every Vita hardware feature there is into it's puzzles. Sometimes this can lead to some loose feeling controls, particularly when the tilt and rear-touchpad features of the Vita are involved, but overall it mostly works very well. The use of the Vita's camera in particular leads to some ingenious puzzles. Overall "Metrico" is an excellent, Vita exclusive puzzle title that I highly recommend any puzzle lover check out. It's a unique head scratcher that does things you won't find anywhere else. It also makes (mostly) great use of the Vita's hardware.    … Expand

    Metrico is a very particular platform. It uses every part of this console, from sixasis to touch screen/touch pad. It has a great atmosphere with a peculiar music and it's very challenging with awesome puzzles. The only real problem is the longevity: only 6 levels. Don't get me wrong, the game is awesome, but you can beat it just in one session, or two.

    Despite some minor technical flaws and a few clumsy moments, Metrico is a smart and rewarding experience that uses PS Vita's features brilliantly. [Oct 2014, p.94]

    This infographically-inspired puzzle game only lasts a few short hours, but for most it'll be a case of dipping in and out between bouts of frustration. [Nov 2014, p.80]
