Metrico is a frustrating game. That’s mostly meant as a compliment. This is a puzzle game, after all. You’re supposed to pull your hair and swear once in a while. Every puzzle game walks a fine line between the good kind of frustration and the bad kind, however. And when Metrico wavers into the bad…
“There was this one moment in Fallout 3, when I came across a prisoner at some raider camp,” I said. “She was still tied up, but all the raiders were gone. Maybe they were dead or something, I don’t know. The game gave me a choice: I could take her supplies and leave her there,…
