    Gemini: Heroes Reborn is a pretty compelling first-person adventure that manages to borrow from bigger titles like BioShock, Mirror’s Edge, or PsiOps to deliver a mix that can delight gamers in general, not just fans of the Heroes universe. Its adventure isn’t the lengthiest, and the replayability factor isn’t all that great, but you’ll certainly enjoy bending time and flinging objects with your mind in this title.

    Gemini: Heroes Reborn may be flawed, but it is fun while it lasts.

    Although it has problems going against it, Gemini: Heroes Reborn has some great ideas and fun gameplay that make-up for it’s shortcomings.

    The plot is quite lame, but that's something inherited from the TV show. This tie in is not entirely bad, and fans of the brand might enjoy some parts.

    It isn’t the best first-person adventure you’ll ever play, but it does offer some fun in its combat and time travel mechanics to warrant your time.

    For $15, this is a good game to burn through over a weekend. Expect anything more than a above average tie-in, however, and you'll be left disappointed.

    Gemini: Heroes Reborn is short, drab, and derivative, but it nevertheless generally remains fun throughout its five-hour running time. In its best moments, it mixes familiar elements from beloved platformers and puzzlers to create an experience that, at least for brief moments, captures the essence of the show.

    If using superpowers to stick people’s heads in fans is something you deem worth the price of admission then I guess there’s not much I can do to convince you otherwise.

    Gemini: Heroes Reborn brings back the superpower that we miss. It has awful AI and a short story, but enjoyable gameplay.

    Cleverly designed combat may make up for the general content deficiency and lackluster story, but those interested should definitely do their research before diving in.

    I don’t know how much Gemini: Heroes Reborn ties into the television show, but it’s hard to recommend to anyone except the most die hard fan.

    Even at its best, Heroes Reborn: Gemini can't hope to be one of those games that breaks out of licensed-game purgatory. [March 2016, p.116]

    A dumb addition to a dumb TV show.

    Were it built with more skill, with a greater flow of movement and one hell of a graphical upgrade, and then given a dose of writing that wasn’t horribly reminiscent of its sister show, this could have been quite the thing. And yet, I enjoyed myself at moments, before wearying of its weaknesses toward the end. Fascinating that it came this close.

    A great Adventure Puzzle Game
    Gemini Heroes Reborn tells the story about a girl named Cassandra, she’s special, she has powers but isn’t sure where she came from..
    She’s looking for answers. For the story of her past...
    The game starts out with you getting these fly glasses that give you a heads up display of enemies and the text of conversation going on throughout the game
    Quickly after your friend Alex gives you these cool specs, he’s captured and it’s up to you to rescue him, only problem is, there’s locked doors and debris everywhere, so you get through the world by heading back and forth between the present and the past,
    IF you run into a locked door, you either have to go to the past or future to take it from a guard, or maybe in the future there’s a hole in that wall..
    This is the premise of the entire game,
    Switch back and forth so you can progress through the world, get through doors in your way, and hop over platforms and across beams that no longer exist
    the world is the puzzle
    You actually spend a pretty even amount of time in both the present and the past, and you can switch freely, you even have the ability to get a bit of a peep hole into the time period you’re not into for a quick judgement,
    This time shifting can also be used to stealth around enemies, I personally chose to use my awesome telekinesis powers to throw objects at their heads, use my slow down ability to catch their bullets and send them back to where they came from, but you don’t need to do this..
    Enemies don’t travel through time with you... nothing does unless you grab it with your telekinesis first.
    There’s not too much to the gameplay here, it’s not all too exciting, what is exciting though is the overall experience this game offers... its adventure and story...
    The story hooks you in and plays with your mind, the adventure portion of this game are very similar to half-life 2 and portal 2,
    you’ll find yourself in tight spaces, you can climb, hop gaps mirrors edge style... it’s just fun
    While there isn’t much meat to this 5 hour game, the journey it takes you on is worth your time
    and I really hope this game doesn’t get over looked
    I give Gemini Heroes Reborn an 8/10    … Full Review »

    Graphics(9) - Unreal Engine 4 present a glorious game looking.

    Story(5) - Well. The story is getting better at the end. But before that, I have no idea why I should keep playing the game. And the character's behavior, I have no idea any normal person will do that. Even in game their behavior just irrational.

    Game Mechanic (8) - The protagonist's ability express well in the game. Like traveling between time and space, slow mo, telekinetic. However the game lack of skill combination, adding more skill should improve game experience. And the game lack of hint, I know how should the game proceed, but I still a bit confusing through out the game play.

    Sound (5) - Nothing noticeable to praise about. And when combating, the music didn't give me an intense feeling at all.

    Performance (7) - Loading time is a little bit long. I didn't encounter many bugs. However, just like I said before, the lack of hint made me think I am stuck because of bugs. And I just complete the game on normal difficulty. Yeah, the enemy AI is really kind of stupid, or the protagonist is too powerful.

    Overall - Well the game is kind of fun with those superpower, but the poor story just pull down the entire game experience. It's just a mediocre game.    … Full Review »
