Official statistics: forthcoming publications.At that point, the game began to feel less like a puzzle I needed to solve and more like a Saw trap that I needed to escape from. And even when I knew what I had to do, after looking up a few guides, I still failed to trigger the right interaction several times. It's easy to miss that's something you can even do. One major moment gives you only a few seconds to show one character a specific item. But a few more narrative shortcuts would make the game's rough last act more tolerable. Twelve Minutes gives you a few easy ways to speed things up, like a single dialog option that can prove you're actually going through a time loop and that she's genuinely in danger. And sometimes that can mean doing the same five tasks dozens of times. Eventually, you'll have to complete a long series of tasks over and over until you figure out your next step. If you’ve got Xbox Game Pass, it’s worth checking out the game just to experience its first few hours.Īfter the novelty wears off, though, the game quickly takes a turn for the worse. You don't get a full look at anyone's face (even if you try to scope out the cop through your front door's peephole), so it's nice to have some human performances grounding the story. It helps that Twelve Minutes also has some solid voice work, which goes a long way toward connecting you to the characters. That's a sign that, for a while at least, I was genuinely invested in the story. I thought of new things to try during long walks and after sleeping on a particularly annoying problem. I realized Twelve Minutes was doing something special early on when it managed to work its way into my subconscious. Some of them, like the light switch that can electrocute people on cue, are hilariously convenient. Some of those puzzle pieces feel organic, like the mugs that you can fill with water, or the large knife tempting you in the kitchen. Everything you need to complete the game is there (or gets there later). Your small apartment has a cramped kitchen and living space, a bathroom, a bathroom and a closet. The game's early hours set up a fascinating mystery box. That's not to say Twelve Minutes isn't worth playing. It's just a shame almost everything falls flat at the end. All of this time looping detective work just has to lead to something truly dramatic! And it's clear that Luis Antonio genuinely wants to blow your mind. But for a mystery like this, I figure that's to be expected. And, to be honest, I'm hesitant to even point out that a story has twists at all. I won't spoil where Twelve Minutes ultimately goes. (And yes, I know those twists occur less often than you may think.) Night Shyamalan, but at least his twists feel original. Making things even worse, my reward for that hellish journey was an array of twists so convoluted, so mind-numbingly dumb, I was angry about it for days. And I became a murderer myself, several times over. Sometimes I had to watch her be repeatedly tortured by that sadistic cop.
I was forced to abuse my seemingly lovely wife. What started out as a fun mystery devolved into a repetitive slog. Sounds like a solid thriller, right? But after spending six hours with the game, I was furious.
