Gameplay

Metrico is a 3D-platform game, and levels often have simple colour-schemes. Typically, level backgrounds are a solid colour, and the midground may include visuals such as mountains, which are typically simple-toned prisms. Platforms are mostly simple-toned geometric shapes, such as cubes and 3D-rectangles.

Reception

Metrico received mixed reviews from critics. On aggregators GameRankings and Metacritic, it holds a score of 70% and 68 respectively. Colin Moriarty, reviewing for IGN, praised the game's "ingenious puzzles", but noted some technical issues and the game's use of "gimmicky, sometimes broken controls". Likewise, GameSpot's reviewer Josiah Renaudin criticized Metrico's "often unwieldy controls", but noted a "beautiful audiovisual blend" and "exciting sense of discovery".
