Minit Reviews
This is a refreshingly unique take on the old school swords and sorcery genre. The time trial aspect may turn some players off, but it's a challenge that is actually a joy to play.
In Minit, retro Zelda charm meets a world as sweet as it is strange, with more and more incentive to discover, minute by minute.

Minit is as much fun as it is unique, and it sets standards that will soon be used in other games, maybe more popular, but not as original as Minit.

It's a cute concept that will keep you enthralled for well more than 60 seconds.
Minit's missteps are the side-effects of its complete focus on a single design mechanic, one which also happens to be the game's greatest strength. Ultimately, these problems fade into the background, allowing a smart, refreshing and impossibly rewarding gameplay experience to prosper.
Minit is a real success and shows how well a good idea can work if used wisely. This tiny adventure where death strikes at every minute offers a delightful twist to the 2D adventure genre, by forcing the player to play differently. By being sent to the starting block every minute, Minit feels like a brand new race against the clock which will please every curious gamer out there.

Minit lives and dies by the time-constraining gimmick it possesses. The constant specter of death makes the short quest feel like an epic adventure, but the game as a whole doesn't rise above being more than a curious novelty.
Minit is a bite-sized Zelda perfect for brief moments of play. While the time management mechanic forces a lot of backtracking and can make solving the game's puzzle's frustrating, there's a deceptive amount of content.
Minit is a tiny gem of an indie title, easy to overlook but not to be missed. It's overflowing with secrets to be found, mysteries to be solved, and adventures to be had 60 seconds at a time. The bite-sized nature only adds to the charms and addictive nature of this 1-bit action-adventure game. With the small price tag of $9.99, it's more than worth a minute of your time.
Minit is an adventure with a twist—an adventure that turns into work, and a twist that turns into as much of an anchor as any unfulfilling day job.
Minit is a well-designed title which could be a little bit longer.

Minit is a great and a little adventure, a short game that can defeat the death.

It's always great to see a videogame try and do something different, and Minit does so with gusto: it takes a tried-and-tested formula and turns it on its head with one very simple mechanic. It makes a standard adventure game into a test of memory, of patience, of skill, and even though it'll frustrate you, it'll have you coming back for "just one minute" time and time again.
Experimental games like Minit deserve to be embraced by fans and I hope that those of you reading this will soon count yourselves among those who give it a download.
Minit might not last that long, but it is a memorable experience that cuts out fluff and just delivers clever puzzles and concepts. You might not spend a lot of time with it, but playing through it once is as insightful a meditation on 2D Zelda-style gameplay as any game multiple times its length.
Talking any more about Minit would end up spoiling this experience for you and, trust me, it's definitely a game you want to play on PlayStation 4! Trophy hunters will be happy to learn that this one has a full trophy list with a Platinum trophy, with objectives such as finding this and that item, finding all items, for finding a coin, for finding all coins, finding an extra heart, finding all extra hearts, and more!
Minit manages to capture the nostalgic feeling of older games and some of its features are certainly fun. However outdated design choices may make it difficult to enjoy for modern gamers. This is the title to approach if you are willing to relive the memories of the past.

The twist at the core of Minit, that you play it sixty seconds at a time, is initially intriguing and engaging, but ends up clashing with the puzzle and exploration-heavy gameplay in a way that left me feeling agitated rather than charmed by this nostalgia-driven indie title.
Minit is a nice and lovely mini-adventure full of interesting puzzles and fun situations.
