Open Me!

About

Open Me! is a puzzle game that tasks you with unlocking increasingly tricky containers to grab their contents. You swipe tilt and press to manipulate each box’s mechanics while avoiding hazards like shifting panels or sudden collapses. The PS Vita’s touch screen and camera factor into solving puzzles that blend physical interactions with digital trickery. Most levels last just a few minutes but the escalating complexity keeps you coming back for more. The game’s clever use of the Vita’s hardware earned it a niche following despite a 2012 release date. While Metacritic aggregates a modest 72 it’s praised for tight level design and intuitive controls. The AR elements feel dated by today’s standards but the core loop of figuring out each box’s quirks remains satisfying. Short sessions make it easy to pick up and put down though longer playthroughs reveal deeper patterns in its puzzles.
