    Thoughts-
    All in all, these are just minor suggestions that could have really made The Entropy Center a much better experience. As it is now, The Entropy Center is a really well-made puzzle game that takes its main hook of reversing time, and casts a wide net of ideas surrounding that very theme – most if not all of which stick to the landing. The story is interesting with well-written characters, the puzzles are engaging with plenty of variety, and the developers constantly spice things up with chase sequences and other high-intensity moments. While the aforementioned shortcomings do leave a sour taste in the mouth, The Entropy Center is certainly one of the biggest surprises of 2022 – and fans of puzzle games like Portal should really consider it.    … Expand

    Just a fantastic puzzle game, especially for an indie studio. They're punching far above their weight. They absolutley nail mostly all aspects of this game. The puzzle, concept, vibe, atmosphere, mechanics, voice acting etc. It's all top notch! My only complaints are the small things likely constrained by the size of the studio/team such as the fonts/ui/options and slight loading screenJust a fantastic puzzle game, especially for an indie studio. They're punching far above their weight. They absolutley nail mostly all aspects of this game. The puzzle, concept, vibe, atmosphere, mechanics, voice acting etc. It's all top notch! My only complaints are the small things likely constrained by the size of the studio/team such as the fonts/ui/options and slight loading screen blips (because the game loads so fast). Which feels unfair to knock them for. This game is incredible, a load of fun. Great adventure. I strongly reccomend it. Best puzzle game of this year, no question. Great job team and I hope the success bring you more oppurtnunities in the future because the industry needs more games in this ilk. Great game! Thank you! Would absolutley reccomend!… Expand

    Brilliant story, more emotional than I was expecting. Good lore and atmosphere along with very rewarding puzzles. Amazing game for such a small studio, well worth a try

    Of course, if you just want more Portal, that might make The Entropy Centre enough for you. It’s not much more than that, but it also sticks so closely to the formula that it doesn’t do anything crazy that would make you dislike the game, either. It’s a well-worn path at this point, and The Entropy Centre never once strays from it.

    While The Entropy Centre sticks very close to its Portal-esque roots, the well-crafted puzzles work perfectly with its simple but effective time travel mechanic. There are some sections where too many enemies can be an annoying distraction from the puzzling, but these are forgivable because the temporal manipulation powers provide such unique challenges. Time is our most precious resource, but it’s well worth spending it here.

    The Entropy Centre is a mind bending puzzle game that’s constantly introducing new ideas to feel fresh. Rewinding objects never gets old, and will change how you think for hours after you put the controller down. Add on top some hilarious writing, charming characters, and an intriguing mystery and you’ve got an instant classic.
