Twin Sector Critic Reviews

A puzzle game that plays like Portal and does everything else like Ed Wood. Enthusiastic, but it's not high-art.

Twin Sector is a game or you love or hate, there is no middle way. But if we are part of the first category, the satisfaction of having solved a puzzle and the obsessive desire to move forward are sufficient incentives to shut one eye on the various flaws that are hidden in the game.

The first impressions of this game are really good, but after a few minutes it already starts to get boring. The surveillance system O.S.C.A.R. is not really helpful. Messages like “Ashley, there is a problem” or “Ashley, the elevator doesn’t work” are simply useless. This game is nothing for a player who likes action games.

It's a motivating variation of Portal, but not as good. It's a case of "great idea, bad realization". The use of the glove works great, but unfair trial-and-error puzzles and the tracer battles are annoying. The last third of the game doesn't offer anything new.

All I can say is that if I were walking through a store, (although you can get the game online at Steam) I would have my "model 229 standard issue Robinson telekinesis gloves," in repel mode should I come across a copy of Twin Sector.

As you have probably guessed by now, I don't care for Twin Sector. And I think I'm even more aggravated because, at its heart, the game actually does have quite a bit of potential.

This dull physics-based puzzle game is neither charming nor exciting, and most importantly, it isn't fun.

At around fifteen hours of crashing, poorly delivered cutscenes, unnecessarily thorny and intricate puzzles, not forgetting a complete lack of atmosphere and immersion, you'll find yourself asking that question a lot if you do decide to give it a go.

Twin Sector suffers from a lot of problems such as wonky game play mechanics, questionable physics and terrible voice acting, terrible story and level design.

I appreciate that it made the effort to include full voice-acting throughout and… that’s about all. The premise of telekinetic gloves is solid, but without the physics and level-design to support it, Twin Sector is a b-game Portal knockoff.

Being unable to execute the obvious solution to a problem because of poor design and implementation is simply inexcusable.
