   Unfortunately characters are mainly flat, Sam was good, also Anna, but they didn't gave me anything marvelous. But "Him" was good, I love that character. For a 2020 game graphics are good, it isn't like TLOU2, but this is just a style it doesn't need to be i per realistic.
   That's sad that almost no one knows this game.… Expand

They went all-out with the graphics, but at the cost of most of the game -- it ends right as it feels like it's about to really take off. It feels like less than half of a game. If this was a matter of budget, I would've preferred that they kept the graphics at the level of Life Is Strange 2 so they could have a more fleshed-out story.… Expand

   MOVIE-LIKE POINT&CLICK GAME:
   As soon as I started the game, it became clear how outdated the graphics were. I played this fully on PS5MOVIE-LIKE POINT&CLICK GAME:
   As soon as I started the game, it became clear how outdated the graphics were. I played this fully on PS5 console, so I can’t say how it runs in PS4 consoles. The overall visual quality and realism was not there. The characters facial impressions, moves and overall character designs were painfully outdated. Even the lipsyncing was off and nothing like it should be.
   
   So yes, visually the game was stuck in 2009 development. Then there were all the bugs and game-breaking glitches. I had to do couple of investigations twice, because the game glitched so badly. This happened after coming back from console being in sleep mode.
   
   THE AWFUL VISUAL UNCANNY VALLEY:
   The graphics everywhere were absolutely horrible. Even the way things was applied to the environment felt haphazard. Looking very much like those early PS4 games, that tried to look nice, but were just OK. I do claim, Twin Mirror did look good at times. I did take many nice screenshots and checking them afterwards, they look nice.
   
   The camera and controls was as hopeless as the visuals; awkward and slow. Many times I had to find just correct position right in front of an object to ineract with it. The camera didn’t help at all, because it was mostly stuck right side of the character I played as. It was difficult to look around as nicely as I wanted. It was weird, how they didn’t pay more attention to this, because the game was about investigation and looking around.
   
   THE STORY:
   The story was OK at the first and then I realized it isn’t as huge and plot-twisty as I thought, and the ending was barely just OK, as well. I liked the various ends and choices player can make to alter the storyline. I didn’t like my first ending I got, so I went back to the final chapter and played it again to see a better solution. I actually got attached to the characters a little bit, to care to see other endings, but still they were kinda bland.
   
   TRYING BADLY TO BE TWIN PEAKS:
   Twin Mirror needed much more time get polished and maybe coded much better. Everything was just stiff, awkward, painful and mostly ugly. It was like those uncomfortably dreams, where you try to move or run, but it’s pointlessly difficult.
   
   I don’t know is reason the past year of 2020 or should this game genre have a complete overhaul, or is it time to dump it and move on?
   Whatever it is, developer should patch this game up, to fix the bigger issues to make the gameplay more pleasant. Honestly, I cannot recommend this game that much. Maybe the ultimate genre lovers will like this.

It feels like they have tried to make the main character neurodivergent but he actually just comes across as really dull and insensitive. The storyline isn't interesting and the 'mind palace' thing just gets in the way of things; I really didn't care about watching the memories as I didn't like any of the characters. It felt like none of the choices really affected anything and the game is quite glitchy on PS4 - at one point there is a character who is just a floating head because her body never loads. A big disappointment after the brilliant Life is Strange.… Expand

It has a completely flat main character, a pretty boring story and straight up dated gameplay mechanics. The characters look pretty bad too, thanks to the more realistic look you notice flaws and asynchronous lip movements faster. It has a good mood but the lack of music and bugs destroyed it oftentimes for me. Sherlock games did the detective parts way better, Control did the surrealist dream parts better and even Dontnod themselves delivered several better Story's before.
   
   In some parts it is not clear at all what you need to do and wandering around in the dream parts is just frustrating.
   
   I paid 30 Euros for it. And it is not worth it. At all.… Expand

   Bruh... another Dontnot trash game. It would be better if they had continued LiS instead of creating this crap.
