    If you came into this game thinking that Dontnod was suddenly going to start publishing fast-action FPS games or deep adventures with RPG elements, you'll be disappointed.

It seems like the bulk of the critics that reviewed Twin Mirror have either never played a Dontnod game before or have forgotten what this developer does. Either way, Twin Mirror is a pretty decent little narrative-focused game. It's fairly short, and should probably be retailing for $20 instead of $40, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The story is solid, the voice acting is quite a bit better than I expected, and the atmosphere is on par with their other games. In other words, it's an instant Dontnod classic if you're into their particular brand of game. If you're not, well, you probably won't care for it. I give it an 8/10 because I paid full price and felt it could have either been longer or cheaper. Get it on sale.… Expand

    Rich story, high quality soundtrack. Has Alan Wake and Twin Peaks vibes, without the supernatural, but a tad of dream sequences. Some concepts about emotional intelligence.

    Great game, not sure who Sam is or why he's looking into a mirror but it's still great. There are a few plot holes and some characters aren't developed properly but I was able to look away from rear-view mirror and into Twin-Mirror.

    The biggest problem with Twin mirror is the lack of pace. When a game that only takes about six hours to complete often feels boring, you know something is fundamentally wrong. Luckily the game also does several things well, which is what made us keep playing.

    Twin Mirror on Xbox is a good game, and for fans of the genre like myself, it's a solid experience. For those who aren't as keen on the genre, nothing here is going to change your mind. With its compelling story, some fantastic characters, decent gameplay and moments of something that could have been brilliant, I enjoyed both my playthroughs. I was, however, left wanting more from the title and it feels like it sits in the shadow of its better DONTNOD adventure games.

    Twin Mirror is unfortunately bit of a mixed bag. With some great ideas and potential for a captivating story it’s a shame that the adventure was cut so short. It feels like the game was intended to be longer and this is evident in the relative potential. Sam’s mind place is a highlight and does provide a lift to the game in areas that are at times lacking substance. The foundation was set but fell short of the great detective story that Sam’s return to Basswood could have been.
