Rico

This puzzle platformer is set in abstract worlds based on infographics.

The player guides a male or female character using a side view through an environment that reacts to actions, movement and input.

Most of the times the character does not need to touch anything in the environment for it to react.

Shapes start to move, numbers appear, platforms appear or disappear, are raised or lowered, stretch out and block each other and so on.

To get through the puzzle sequences the player always needs to experiment with the effects of input and then find a way to move platforms or overcome obstacles.

Initially all reactions are based on movement and jumping.

There are about 60 puzzle sequences divided over six worlds each with a different theme.

Four of the worlds are taken from the original Metrico , while the remaining ones that often used Vita-specific input now have different mechanics.

One expands on the use of shooting projectiles by letting them bounce off walls, while the final world allows the character to swap places with enemies.

The game never provides hints, but often there are clues in the environment, such as numbers adding up to show how shapes can move or percentages changing based on movement.

In later levels sequences sometimes have multiple types of checkpoints that can be used to respawn at a further position than when initially starting the sequence.

That way dying and trail and error are often a valid way to advance.

In some levels projectiles can be shot to reveal or hide platforms, or alter parts of the environment.

While the main goal is to progress, sometimes optional challenges can be spotted and completed by the player to unlock ac

Rico for PlayStation 4 is currently worth €24.25 loose, €7.94 complete in box, and €13.67 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Rico has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Rico, loose is €24.25 and CIB is €7.94 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Rico is currently worth €24.25 loose, versus €17.61 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
