Jan 20, 2020Headspun makes up for its lack of gameplay with an emphasis on visual style and storytelling. While not for everyone, fans of narrative adventure games will find something to enjoy here.

Nov 11, 2019It has an interesting, thought-provoking story and takes an innovative approach in combining different gaming genres, but Headspun’s implementation is uneven and results in equal measures of fun and frustration.

Sep 9, 2019Headspun is intriguing and takes creative risks by blending genres together. It's a shame about those few missing links.

Sep 4, 2019Headspun tries to merge several genres in one game. On paper, the idea might have worked, but when you actually play it you see its shortcomings. However, it’s a good option if you’re looking for something experimental.

Sep 3, 2019Headspun is a well-meaning attempt at exploring a fascinating topic. Wandering around certain rooms like the Dream Theater and Memory Bank, you see some some vivid imagery, and are faced with interesting questions about the relationship between memories and identity. But it never delves deeper, restricting you to tedious minigames and superfluous base-building while you wait to see how story pans out. Headspun failed to entrench itself in my memory, and I wouldn't feel differently even if its swarms of bugs were squashed.

Aug 30, 2019Headspun's mix of management sim and FMV narrative is fairly unique. However, repetition and buggy gameplay mar the game's potential.
