"Tearaway" is an incredibly creative game that showcases the ingenuity and originality that is familiar for Media Molecule. The game features unique puzzles and a high level of customization, allowing players to not only customize their character but also draw and create things in the drawing board making you feel like that is YOUR world. One of the most impressive elements of the game is the way it breaks the 4th wall by incorporating the camera and the finger touchpad, which is both clever and inventive.

The 3D platforming is enjoyable, but the camera can be frustrating at times, getting stuck in awkward places. Moreover, the Vita mechanics feel sluggish for most of the game, particularly the back touchpad finger and the "physical rotation of the Vita" mechanics. This can detract from the overall experience, leading to some frustration throughout the game.

Despite these flaws, "Tearaway" is an enjoyable and relaxing experience. The story is simple but cute, and the graphics and overall art style are fantastic. The game's chill and laid-back vibe make it a perfect game for anyone looking for a more relaxed gaming experience.

Media Molecule is a company known for its creativity, and "Tearaway" is a testament to their prowess. Although the game is not perfect, it is a great addition to their catalogue and a must-play for anyone looking for an innovative and charming game on PS Vita.
