    Ok how is this game even getting a 6/10 I cannot believe that people like this game. The enemies are brain dead and are bullet sponges. The puzzles are nonsensical, and there is no logic in anything your character does, you place timebombs down and your character sets them for two seconds! You die immediately! Even when you move away the hitbox will get you and you will throw yourOk how is this game even getting a 6/10 I cannot believe that people like this game. The enemies are brain dead and are bullet sponges.

Even when you move away the hitbox will get you and you will throw your controller. There is NO story I am not kidding you will never know what is going on, and it will have random cutscenes of people you have never seen or heard of getting out of bed and turning on their phone and then its over. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME. This is probably the worst game I have ever played. You will like the time aspect but then it will quickly become sour. Buy something else.… Expand

    Waited four years and two platforms to play this, and I am very upset out it turned out. Three years ago, it would have been excellent, now its very out of date and very out of touch with todays shooters. But its still always fun to crank that time button and blast foes to an early grave. But thats wears thin when all else is rubbish! Barely a rental game.

    My biggest problem is that it feels kind of notinspire and enemies take way too many hits to kill , and it's not really fun to kill them.
    The weird party is that I keep thinking about crisis while playing this which is a bit unfair but it's just more fun. What would you play this when you can play crisis?

    The clunky puzzles and mechanics often overwhelm any sort of enjoyment you might get out of confronting large squads of enemies, especially when the overall formula for the game follows a typical solve-the-puzzle-and-fight-wave-of-enemies-and-repeat design.

    The time travel themed story is ineffectively told and the enemy AI is rather brain-dead. You'll also face overwhelming numbers during most battles but the good thing is that your time powers provide a nice edge.

    A great deal of work was done to bring the look and feel of TimeShift up to date, though an equal amount of time should have been spent on the design and presentation.
