Tearaway takes place in a beautiful paper-craft world. Its a very personal journey that lets you shape the world. Originally a Vita game, different features have been changed to reflect the features of the PS4. Its such a seamless transition that anyone who buys the game without prior knowledge will probably never consider the fact that this is a port. Tearaway is a long and memorable game that really gets you involved as you lose yourself in this one-of-a-kind experience.
Tearaway is a shared journey between "you" and the messenger Iota (or Atoi). The messager must reach the hole in the sky if he/she is to deliver his message to "you". Its your job to guide the messenger on their journey. It will be a grand adventure, one where you'll leave your mark everywhere you go. The ability to take pictures along the way lets you catalog your experiences to reflect back on at a later time. Use this feature to celebrate your victories as you help the different local creatures with their needs.
Tearaway is a platformer with a heavy emphasis on creativity. This becomes evident very early on as you're task with creating your own unique messenger. You buy different objects and facial features for decorating by collecting scraps found though out the game. You can even make your own designs which is necessary a different at key points throughout the game. It very rewarding to see the impact your creations have on the world and its inhabitants.
The gameplay is all about utilizing the features of the PS4 controller (just as the original game used the features of the Vita). In order to navigate though this world you'll use everything from the touch pad, to the sixaxis, to specific button manipulation. For example, the touch pad lets you draw objects and by tapping it your can help your messenger bounce around the levels. Other than that this is pretty much a semi-tradition platformer with a heavy emphasis on story-telling.
This three-dimensional platformer is quite a change of pace from Media Molecule side-scrolling Little Big Planet series. Its amazing how well they were able to transition to a very different style of gameplay. This is such a unique experience and its wonderfully executed. Platforming can sometimes get a little tough, especially towards the end. This a minor gripe in a game that is mostly pretty laid back and leaves the tougher challenges as optional quests. It seems like every time you feel it might come to an end you're thrown back into the world with new areas to explore. This helps make Tearaway a surprisingly long game. This is a cute and charming adventure game that players of all ages should be able to enjoy.

Great game and very interactive.
Daughter loves this game. It is very interactive and it has the ability to connect an app to make it even more personalized. It also uses, but I don't think is required, the PS camera to be that much more interactive. It is a safe and fun game for all ages.
