The Entropy Centre Reviews
The Entropy Centre is a more than competent Portal tribute with clever time-manipulation puzzles and an endearing cast, but it doesn't take its clever concept as far as it seems like it should.
With The Entropy Centre behind me, I’m fascinated by what Stubby Games accomplished with its debut. It’s full of excellent puzzles, but the stuff around them, like bugs and narrative pacing, stop the entire package from coming together in an equally impressive way.
The Entropy Centre is a fun, clever, and taxing puzzler that rewards your effort, persistence and, frankly, backwards thinking.
While there may be a few stumbles along the way, The Entropy Centre has a unique twist on a familiar premise in this particular genre. It may not redefine it in any new ways, but it's something that will help scratch an itch in a brand-new way.
Visually, The Entropy Centre can be a bit hit-and-miss. A lot has clearly been put into the visual aspect, but it does often feel like assets are reused over and over. As such, the inside of the facility can often feel a bit stale and samey. The same cannot be said for the outside of the facility, though, where outer space looks incredible and almost picture-perfect.
This is a worthy successor to Valve’s Portal games. It doesn’t have the polish and production values of those games but makes up for those shortcomings with it’s gameplay. If you love Portal, you, at the very least, really like The Entropy Centre. The Entropy Centre aims to bring a new meaning to the slogan: Build a Better Tomorrow.
A must-buy for all those who like motivating and humorous puzzle games in the style of a portal and for whom graphics are not everything.

The Entropy Centre is a mind bending puzzle game that's constantly introducing new ideas to feel fresh. Rewinding objects never gets old, and will change how you think for hours after you put the controller down. Add on top some hilarious writing, charming characters, and an intriguing mystery and you've got an instant classic.
The Entropy Centre is far and away one of the best first-person puzzlers you can play. If the genre does anything for you, you should come away satisfied with what the game has in store.
The Entropy Center is an excellent puzzle game that's as much its own thing as it is an homage to the classics, and is easily one of the most pleasant surprises of 2022.
Even if it's far from perfect, The Entropy Centre is an interesting experience and its puzzles are satisfying.

The worlds of Portal and Tenet combine to bring a puzzling game about turning back time.
The Entropy Centre has an unexpectedly interesting story with fun interactions between Aria and Astra. The puzzles are novel and present a variety of tools and mechanics to keep you interested, the difficulty stagnates halfway through, but the game is still worth a try.

Inspired by Portal, The Entropy Centre will make you think backwards as you complete good puzzle chambers with the help of an energetic AI companion and refreshing detours.
The Entropy Centre definitely will bring you some Portal vibes. And it also has some distinctive pieces of its own to offer.

If you like games in Portal puzzle style, definitely do not miss The Entrophy Centre. You get a time weapon and start solving rooms in the research center. The plot could have been more fleshed out, but otherwise it's a very pleasant experience.

The Entropy Centre is a difficult first-person puzzle platformer that will reward you for thinking ahead and remaining patient so make sure you're prepared for quite a challenge as well as some needlessly frustrating footwork.
The Entropy Centre looks very similar to Portal. There are identical items and environments, but the time-rewinding mechanic is so unique and well-handled that you'll enjoy solving each room. The story may not be strong enough to carry you through the entire game, but luckily, when combined with the humor, you'll get a very original experience.
