Metrico PSVITA VPK is the first effort by fledgling Dutch studio Digital Dreams, but you wouldn’t guess that by looking at it. Featuring incredibly striking art design, and seemingly solid gameplay, it looks like the work of a much more mature developer. But is this algebraic adventure a balanced equation, or is it using the wrong formulas? This indie puzzler is all about graphs: bar graphs, line graphs, pie graphs – all of these high school maths class horrors can be found in abundance in the game. But rather than serving as mere window dressing, these deadly diagrams are intricately woven into the title’s gameplay.

For instance, several levels monitor how many times you’ve jumped, and then convert this number into the slowly rising column of a bar graph. Thus, your traversal through the stage is limited to a very specific number of jumps. This concept is expanded upon throughout the game, with some of the later challenges requiring truly economical movement. The madness doesn’t stop there, though, as the puzzler also makes use of the Vita’s hardware in several unique ways. Those graphs can be affected by tilting your handheld into the sorts of odd and uncomfortable positions that would make a contortionist blush. And while this can be a lot of fun, it also gets a little tiresome. In particular, one late-game use of the system’s camera is nifty, but can be frustratingly imprecise. All of this makes for a central gameplay conceit that, while unique, just isn’t terribly captivating. There’s definitely a lot of fun to be had here, but several levels feel more like a slog than a summer stroll. You’ll often find yourself almost completing a stage only to realise that you made one tiny mistake, and now have to redo the entire thing. As far as story is concerned, it is entirely possible that there’s some semblance of a narrative or overarching theme that ties all of these disparate elements together, but we certainly couldn’t figure it out. There’s something to be said for subtly in storytelling, but this purportedly profound puzzler probably takes the concept a little too far. Metrico PSVITA VPK
