    There's some small-town charm to be found in Twin Mirror, but an undercooked mystery and lack of interesting characters make the trip to Basswood a rather boring one.

    A narrative game that doesn't have enough time to tell the story it's trying to tell, leaving characters and plot lines feeling unfinished. Whilst it has a lot of interesting ideas and some nice mechanics, none of them feel fully realised. Twin Mirror is bursting with potential, which is why it feels so disappointing.

    Twin Mirror feels like Life Is Strange on a shoe-string budget.

    > No 'illusion of choice'

    > No meaningless interactions - "press X to make a vague, uninteresting comment about thing''

    Twin Mirror excels in none of them. It's beyond me how this game manages to learn nothing from the genre and what makes an interactive story game successful.

    While not a complete waste of time, Twin Mirror is not much more.    … Full Review »

It's a fine, underrated, detective game, and your choices actually affect the outcome. The graphics are great. Some bugs like audio cutting out or parts of characters disappearing (played on PS4 Pro).… Full Review »
