    Ambitious idea perhaps struggling to live up to its own aspirations. Certainly doesn’t warrant those 0-2 user scores but at the same time, not the game we were hoping it was going to be

    This is the worst game I've played in a while. On paper, playing through a Groundhog's Day-type scenario sounds interesting, but problems abound almost immediately.

On paper, playing through a Groundhog's Day-type scenario sounds interesting, but problems abound almost immediately. There's no hand-holding or hints and very little tutorial, and while I can appreciate some emergent gameplay, experimentation is punishing, lest you miss the timing on a specific interaction or click the wrong thing and start looping back from the beginning. Individual lines of dialogue can be skipped, but it's still tedious to mash the button to skip through the same lines over and over in between repeating routines. Skipping certain dialogue completely and/or adding checkpoints to jump to specific scenarios you've already tried would have gone a long way to improving the experience.

    Aside from these mechanical issues, there are bizarre leaps in adventure game logic and, despite a somewhat impressive level of interactivity within the objects of one apartment, an extremely rigid set of confines and rules. Certain tactics will always fail, logical conversation choices never seem to pop up, the protagonist is frustratingly feeble and dumb, while the antagonist is fixed on rails and basically immutable. Whether it's due to a lack of insight, budget, or technical skill, it feels disrespectful to the player's creativity and antithetical the sandboxy, experimental nature of being stuck in a time loop.

    The game's presentation is also poor, with clunky animations, fiddly interaction boxes, awkward dialogue, and uneven voice acting and direction, all to present a stomach-churning story that attempts to shock in its abrupt, underdeveloped, ham-fisted way.

    What I can say that's positive is that the game can be finished in one to two sittings, and it does occasionally hook you with a sense of "let me just try this one other thing." Unfortunately, the road to trying those things is frustrating and repetitive, and the game's conclusion is eyerolling and vomitous.    … Expand

    Great game good voice actors/music and an okay story with a weird twist but an unforgettable experience. It was getting a bit repetitive after some hours when you didn’t know what to do… I think most people had to search for help/tips on for example YouTube but still tho I really liked the plot of the game great job guys.

    A big disappointment.
    How great it looked in the trailer. How hooked you were.
    Now you've seen enough after just 12 minutes. Visually it is only ok, it has to playfully tear something.
    But even that doesn't make it. The puzzles are totally illogical and the controls are terrible.

Enfin, l’interface sur console est inadaptée et héritée de la version PC : pensée pour la souris, elle s’avère en effet nulle à chier à la manette.

Из-за этого игра и цепляет первые часы, дальше же вы утопаете в догадках, что вам нужно делать дальше. Во время прохождения даже у меня был момент, когда я лез в YouTube и просто шокировался от того, что мне нужно было делать. В плане, насколько это НЕ очевидно и глупо, и насколько до этого невозможно догадаться без подсказок. Однако в игре есть определенный плюс — День Сурка. С помощью этой петли во времени, ваши даже самые отчаянные попытки предотвратить всё плохое дают вам пищу для размышлений, больше вариантов для действий и веток диалогов. Это прикольно и не надоедает, так как проходить игру можно реально по-разному, разными путями и способами. Тебе дают свободу, и она не бессмысленная — проворачивая во время игры даже самые глупые действия, вы можете развивать сюжет. В этом и ещё один плюс — игра не деревянная. У вас есть нож? Вы можете им как и зарезать кого-то, так и развязать себе наручники, или спилить вентиляцию. У вас есть стакан воды? Вы можете даже цветок этой водой полить — на здоровье! единственное разочарование этой игры — линейность. Концовка в этой игре и вправду разочаровывает, в ней нет ничего плохого, игра в конце цельно завершает действительно интересную историю, но в игре, где всё завязано вокруг петли во времени видеть всего две завершающих игру концовки, как-то странно. Хочется, чтобы в игре был упор на то, как мы можем избавиться от проблем разными способами, как например в Stanley Parable, где действительно огромный выбор действий, и также много концовок. В Stanley Parable также была огромная локация, ты мог идти куда хочешь. В Twelve Minutes всего лишь одна квартирка, где и не шибко много предметов и простора для действий... Однако все же, пройдя эту игру я был сильно впечатлен. Эта именно та игра, которую стоит попробовать. Тем более через Game Pass. Если вы хотите хорошую игру на вечерок для дружеской компании/вечеринки, либо же просто игру с интересной историей — вам, как говориться, по адресу.… Expand

    A poor indy. Just to expect too much from a spanish guy, (maybe a single dev) indy first attempt. It´s just plain absurd. Its like Groundhog day movie but pretty bad. If the idea would be taken by a more big and commited studios maybe they could take the main idea like making a whole house with better mechanics and scripts. Meanwhile is futile to even look at.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is absolutely trash. It took 2 years to design a game that at times doesn't even register prompts resulting in multiple loops having to be done. The game isn't that deep either. You'd think the story would involve cults like the illuminate or insert any wild belief with followers however, I believe because they hired daisy ridley they went the route of starwars incest and boy did they commit. Turns out the couple are brother and sister and have an incest baby. Just another note...the casted voice actors was trash and I don't blame the actors I blame the writers for allowing that kind of quality to be the end result. I wouldn't doubt the cast showed up to read a script for a few minutes then were kindly asked to leave.

Set in one small apartment containing a lounge, bathroom, bedroom and closet, you're caught in a time loop and every ten minutes you reset to just as you walked in. Within those confines, you have to unravel the mystery by interacting with the characters and the environment.

    It is worth noting that the true ending is not executed well, and one aspect of the core mystery unfortunately makes little sense. It isn't the kind of plot hole that makes it impossible to follow the central mystery, I figured it out around halfway through. But apart from a low effort line of dialogue, it goes disappointingly unexplained.

    There are also some unfinished aspects (using a particular item on the windows and paintings results in placeholder text). And as always the case in choice-driven games, some options you might think of are not present. Notably, you can't ask your wife to go anywhere or do anything which would make sense in context. That is of course a forgivable limitation of the genre and gameplay; to enable that would require an unimaginable number of additional permutations.

    I found myself unsure how to proceed a few times, but apart from the true ending, every time I found what I needed to progress it made logical sense. Sometimes you just need to look closer, revisit things you thought you'd already exhausted, or revisit the lengths you're willing to go to. The game does a remarkable job of making you feel trapped and isolated in a hopeless cycle, so it feels immensely rewarding when you take a significant step forward and your options open up.

    I felt that the unique and satisfying way the gameplay loop of experimenting with different permutations rewards you by slowly peeling back layers of the mystery ultimately makes up for its shortcomings.

    I thoroughly recommend it. Just go in knowing that while the mystery is satisfying, after solving it, the way the game ends is not.    … Expand

    The graphics are quite nice for the style and suits the story and gameplay. It is nothing special though and no use of ray tracing or any particularly breathtaking visuals. The voice cast were great and this is no surprise considering the three main actors were James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley and Willem DaFoe. No expense spared in the casting department which helps with the immersion.

    The game revolves around your tiny apartment with your wife and is played out in real time with a maximum of 12 minutes through any given time loop. Each time someone dies or the current story is played out the story is rewound back to the start of the 12 minutes and the loop starts again.

    Whilst it does sound extremely monotonous, each play through gives you more information and answers in order to use that newly acquired information to go forward the loop after and it continues until you are able to solve the mystery and get one or several of the many endings. I thought the story was excellent and was not disappointed.

    I can see how some people may be turned off by the repetitiveness of running through the same scene and dialogue over and over again, but for me this was the interesting part. It wasn't until I was attempting achievements that it started to feel a bit grindy.

    I had an absolute blast searching for new ways to gather more information and get closer to the end and thought it was a very clever way for a point and click puzzle/adventure game if you would even call it that. This was one of my favourite games in a long time and I can't wait for Annapurna Interactive to try something similar in a new release. I would definitely be playing on launch that's for sure!    … Expand

    Fine, but not that great. I like that you figure out things by trial and error. So even when you fail, you are still making progress. which can lead to multiple endings. But it can become tiring after awhile. Got it by Xbox Game Pass. The only reason I would really recommend this unless you really want to play this.

Unlike a lot of others that are probably docking points for the story turns that were definitely shocking and uncomfortable, for me it’s the execution. I began playing games with Sierra point-and-click titles as a kid so the concept doesn’t bother me at all, but the game requires you to be so precise with what you do that there’s no freedom beyond the only way to progress the puzzles. Which would also be fine, but there’s almost nothing giving you any indication of what to do or what could be done. I spent probably 4-5 more hours than needed playing the game because I tried something earlier in the game that said it wouldn’t work, when really it was just the “wrong” time to do it, which caused me to not try it again. There were a few situations like this, which force you to have to do everything you’ve tried repeatedly, whether it worked or not, in the hopes that doing it in a different order will progress the game. I completed it without hints, but I almost wish I would have just used a guide halfway through so I could have left while I still enjoyed the game.

    The wife will constantly have information that she refuses to say, interactions she could do but doesn’t, she’ll reveal you hiding when you are, she’ll walk out the door after promising to stay locked inside and hiding, etc. It’s incredibly frustrating to know what to do and not be able to do it. And I don’t understand why they chose to have two people with rich, gorgeous accents like James McAvoy and Daisy Ridley use bland American accents (I’m a bland American) that could have been done by anyone, instead of using their own which would have been much better for the money spent. Willem Dafoe sounds like himself and that’s great. Not saying artists shouldn’t do accents, but the ones they did here could have been done by any voice artist and the money saved could have been used to polish the game instead. I wanted to enjoy this game more, and I wish that I did. It is on GamePass though, so just try it if that’s available to you.    … Expand

    Good idea in concept, but the execution is sorely lacking.

Essentially, after you'veGood idea in concept, but the execution is sorely lacking. Aside from the general glitchiness, clunkiness and jank in the gameplay mechanics, after a while, the game just broke down into tedious and frustrating trial-and-error for me; not exactly helped by all the red herrings in form of dialogue options and possible combinations of interactions the dev put in. Essentially, after you've reached a certain point, you're only trying to brute-force the exact sequence of things that the game will finally be satisfied with.

    Then the ending(s) I did not understand at all. Is it even supposed to make sense? No one knows. It's one of those arts-fartsy, go-make-up-your-own-interpretation kind of affairs. Which are not always doomed to failure, but in this case, I felt pretty let down and like I was owed at least a little bit of an explanation for my time and effort.

    Also, if I had not known about the star power in the voice cast (probably the game's biggest selling point), I would've never guessed that these were famous Hollywood actors, since the performances come across as rather bland and disjointed (probably due to how the lines were recorded and are used in the game). Definitely not one of the stronger performances for any of the three actors.

    In summary, if you have Game Pass and the game's premise sounds intriguing to you (and you're quite patient), maybe give this a try. Otherwise, if you want to play a puzzle-based game with a time-loop mechanic from Annapurna Interactive, just get Outer Wilds, which is vastly superior.    … Expand

I stopped the game 70% of the way and I'm so glad I did. I really liked the idea of the 'game' but I couldn't bring myself to hear the wife and setup the whole board, for the 100th time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been excited for Twelve Minutes and while it didn't meet my excitement in the way I hoped, it was still a fun and interesting game for the most part.

    Going straight into criticism, sometimes the writing isn't believable. Twelve Minutes is a timeloop story and what causes these loops is being knocked unconscious. As soon as your character enters his second loop, he just gets it. He just fully understands that the day is repeating the first time he's reset back into his apartment, without having much proof to fully conclude it at that point. The dialogue options available at that point also immediately scream "This is definitely a timeloop". There's a layer of confusion about the situation that I'd expect in the first few loops that is just not there.

    Similarly, reaching the game's ending is fairly difficult because there's absolutely no (as far as I saw) encourager to get the player to do the specific thing that gets you to the end of the game. You spend your loops trying to lock down information, and in my playthrough that pursuit of information led me to drug my wife and interrogate the cop, then in the next loop I'd talk to my wife and talk peacefully with the cop, and that slowly brought in all the information while utilising various items, but it never deviated from these two tracks. In order to reach an ending you just need to inspect one particular item for long enough. You probably can't do that from the start and I have no idea what you need to achieve to enable it, but nothing suggests that you should reinspect this item.

    Reaching the game's "true" ending also feels nonsensical, and is more of a "did you comb through everything in the game?" check. This "true" ending involves inspecting another item but the item's value to the story even in the last minutes just doesn't seem important. Even when the main character talks about it he sounds like he's reciting lines rather than speaking out of his heart, like he's reciting a spell that he doesn't quite have down yet and it cheapens this ending that was probably meant to be philosophical or thought-provoking.

    With these negatives noted though, the game is still an enjoyable puzzle while you don't have the solution. Discovering the consequences of actions and the resulting circuit of actions you learn to take is fun to reach when you're searching for the game's solution. Finding out critical information about a character or event feels like a breakthrough moment that will get you further in your next run and that feels great. The story between the start and end of the game is also pretty interesting although some revelations are sure to put people off, I think the story is interesting no less.

    I had fun with the game, the voice acting was done well for the most part, if it weren't for the most important parts of this timeloop falling flat I probably would've loved this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the game in one sitting. It isn't the type of game i would normally buy or play, however it's free on xbox gamepass and howlongtobeat.com suggested it was around 4 1/2 hours. That's perfect for me since i don't have a lot of free time.

    The game is mostly played from a top down view in a limited area, your flat and its 3 rooms. You're stuck in a repeating time loop, groundhog day style. Every 12 minutes or so the game resets to the moment just after you enter your flat, though death and trying to leave the flat triggers a reset at well. Since there's only 3 rooms and a limited number of items to use its pretty simple to figure out various combinations to try out and progress the story. I did get a bit stuck at the beginning since i kept trying to win by killing the cop. Eventually i manged to move things on by talking to the wife and trying none violent options. Apart from the frusting part where i didn't seem to make progress, the game was fun. It can become a grind at time. If there was an option to reload to e.g. 2 minutes earlier and try other options etc. it would have saved me a fair bit of time.

    Overall it was a fun experience. It's not a game of the year or a must play game, however it is enjoyably and short. It's worth trying out if you have a free afternoon.    … Expand

    This game is really more of an 8.5. The biggest praise I can give it is I was not able to put it down and finished it in one day. That is rarely the case for me. The story was interesting, with multiple twists and turns. The voice acting was very good, and the music was fantastic. The puzzles were challenging and gave opportunities to take various paths to progress the story without being overly difficult.

    My only complaint is a few instances where I would need to go through longer repetitive sequences in order to make a tweak to the loop later on. There is a fast forward mechanic, but it could have been implemented a bit better.    … Expand

    In my opinion a great game. The idea is nice, the game is good. Some decisions seems a bit odd, but overall nice.
    A skip button or a shortcut to some points would be Great.

    Un très bon jeu dans l'ensemble mais qui laisse un sentiment différent entre ses deux premiers tiers et le dernier qui parait vraiment plus poussif et non intuitif.

    Very interesting puzzle game it's a 9 out of 10 from me. It is an incredibly original idea for a loop puzzle that has many of the properties of a good story, visually not great but good, engaging dialogue between the characters. The game takes complex and interesting logical path that... (find out for yourself)

    Une boucle, ce jeu. Je n'ai vraiment pas aimé malgré les acteurs. Dommage pour les développeurs et surtout les joueurs de la Xbox Series X.

    12 minutes is a point’n’click thriller playing with a time loop theme with a great premise and introductory setting, but with a lack of interactivity and an unfortunate story. After the enthusiasm from the beginning of the game, when you will enjoy the offered possibilities of the game sandbox, frustration and disappointment will come. Even dabing with brilliant actors is not helping the game. It seems to be recorded in a hurry and without the possibility for the actors to get used to the character.

    Great idea woefully executed. The story, gripping at first, soon devolves into frustrating repetition. The characters just aren’t interesting enough and the A-list actors offer what might just be the blandest performances of their careers. Spend your twelve minutes elsewhere.

    Inventive adventure thriller, that produces a lot of tense moments within the limited scenario. The solution doesn't meet expectations, though.
