    A soulless experience that's mainly mind numbing and not worth the price at all.

    Solid, polished, well-made game. If you're looking for narrative puzzle games, this is worth getting. The length is good. The difficulty is medium - the last handful of puzzles are difficult enough, but hardcore puzzlers might want more of a challenge. It's definitely an homage to Portal, but in a way that's more interesting and novel than other Portal-inspired games. The Talos PrincipleSolid, polished, well-made game.

It's definitely an homage to Portal, but in a way that's more interesting and novel than other Portal-inspired games. The Talos Principle is another similar game worth getting that's more difficult with less variety in puzzle elements. Nothing in The Entropy Centre has a chance to get boring before a new kind of block, gate, or switch is introduced.

    Performance, music, voice acting, controls, settings, all the little things were perfectly polished. A couple very occasional bugs occurred, but it's a new developer and I doubt you'll notice them.

    Entropy is one of my favorite philosophical concepts also, so I loved playing a game that explores the existential consequences of it. Extremely satisfying game to play.    … Expand

    It's like Portal. Prettier, but boring. There are a lot of inconsistencies in the story itself. Many things are not explained at all. If the creators wanted to stuff the main character into a never ending loop of the same events, then that doesn't sit well in my overall satisfaction of the journey I took.

The story could have been the main driver of this game and guarantee a replayability, and it actually kills it in the end. Uninstalled, won't return.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game with a huge focus on story, characters, and world-building. I don't remember the last time when the story absorbed me so much. Yes, there are a few bugs here are there, but nothing game-breaking. Usually minor visual glitches.… Expand

    Excellent Portal-Like.

    The environments are magnificent as in Portal we find ourselves in an abandoned laboratory with robots who want to kill us. The puzzles are satisfying and the story is really gripping. The humor is also successful without being hilarious. It really is a very good game. A real success. It doesn't surpass Portal 2 but it does pay homage to it in a very nice way. If    Excellent Portal-Like.

    A really well made puzzle game that can make portal fans feel kind of in home, a solid and clean game play with almost no bug, good graphics, and well designed levels, it can make you enjoy a good (around) 8 hours of fun dialogue, beautiful soundtracks and fun puzzles that make you enjoy completing them.

    The Entropy Centre demands a unique way of solving puzzles with the need to use a variety of tools to achieve your goal. The difficulty stops rising prematurely, but the overall experience is enjoyable, with silly interactions between the characters.

    The Entropy Centre is a satisfying puzzle game with a unique idea at its center. Rewinding time to solve problems and move through spaces is a good concept and the execution is mostly solid. I appreciate how the game forces players to engage with the puzzles from ever-changing perspectives as they search for a solution. The title’s presentation is good, even if the rooms are largely interchangeable. Aria and ASTRA work as protagonists, even if their banter is not stellar. The Entropy Centre is the kind of puzzle experience that will attract both long-term fans of the genre and newcomers with its unique time-rewinding idea. But it stays a little too close to its inspirations, underlining how hard it is to improve on the classics.

    Inspired by Portal, The Entropy Centre will make you think backwards as you complete good puzzle chambers with the help of an energetic AI companion and refreshing detours.
