About
Tearaway Unfolded is an action-adventure game developed by Media Molecule. It is a sequel to Tearaway.
The players control a messenger that is delivering a message to a portal opened in the sky which displays the players themselves. The players are referred to as "The You" in the game. The messenger has to deliver the message in order to save their paper world.
At the beginning of the game, the player chooses one out of two characters. The choice does not affect gameplay whatsoever, only the look of your character. The main feature of the game is the interaction with the environment using the features of the DualShock 4. The players go through a world that is completely made out of paper. Your playable character can jump, grab and roll.
In order to progress through the game, the player has to modify the surroundings so new paths can be opened. The players have several tools at their disposal, such as a vacuum cleaner that can move items and can be used to defeat enemies.

Tearaway Unfolded reviews and comments
it certainly shares the unique charm, divergent art style, and gimmicks that explore the Playstation controller's unique features but all to a lesser extent.
The opening to this game was so sluggish to me as they had the great idea to take away your jump; from a platformer! I think this would be fine if it was quickly restored so you could learn the other mechanics of the game, but it's not given to you for about an hour. I've currently completed about ~33% of the game, and the movement still feels sluggish. The Camera is a huge problem, as I'm constantly wrestling with it. There are some nice hidden areas and nooks but I'm discouraged to explore them as the camera constantly wrestles you to return to the main path.
Combat is boring, repetitive, and feels unfair. Perhaps it improves like I thought it would when I obtained the ball ability, but nope.
So if you're looking for a really unique and beautiful game that is only 20% as fun to play as it looks, this is for you!
I'm hoping to play the original on Vita (which I've heard is tighter) and will see if this just got a poor case of porting over!
