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.

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.

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.

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.

The Entropy Centre is a charismatic title that adds time as a mechanic to consider, adding a fourth dimension to a puzzle game and getting great results in the process.

I think a lot of people who really enjoy puzzle games will get a lot from The Entropy Center. It might be a bit darker and tonally dark compared to other similar titles out there, but it does deliver a rather enjoyable and rewarding experience.

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.

All in all, The Entropy Centre is a charming and inventive puzzle platformer. It’s nowhere near as memorable or innovative as its main cake-smelling source of inspiration, nor is it particularly replayable, but as a one-off, mind-bending puzzle adventure, yup, this gets the job done with honors for the extention of its runtime, more than making up for what little issues I’ve found in its voice acting and presentation departments as well.

While The Entropy Center sticks very close to its Portal-esque roots, the well-crafted puzzles work perfectly with its simple but effective time travel mechanic. There are some sections where too many enemies can be an annoying distraction from the puzzling, but these are forgivable because the temporal manipulation powers provide such unique challenges. Time is our most precious resource, but it’s well worth spending it here.

Even considering these minor hiccups, I cannot deny that I had a wonderful time with The Entropy Centre. Stubby Games’ puzzler manages to not only fill its influence’s shoes, but do something all its own at the same time. That is an achievement worth celebrating: a better tomorrow indeed.

Puzzle games that manipulate the laws of physics have a new and very interesting representative in The Entropy Center. With the best device I have ever seen in this type of game, with well-planned puzzles and challenges, an intriguing and pure science-fiction plot, and high-end visuals, here is a must-see for those who like to give head.

The Entropy Centre definitely will bring you some Portal vibes. And it also has some distinctive pieces of its own to offer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
