I do not really know how to grade this game. On one hand it could be a worthy successor to Portal, on the other it misses the mark. Impressive work as for one-man team and I like the idea behind this game, but not its execution.

Portal, the inevitable comparison standard, can be called a "pure puzzle game" in that it is all about the discovery and next "aha!" moment. Many games tried doing the same and few succeded.

Entropy Centre has the "big task", some lore, companion, puzzles, interesting main mechanic and enemies. Focusing on the puzzles alone and disregarding its story (it is a loop anyway, Owlman quotes galore) there is not that much to say about them. You can cheese some (of course), slog through others, but at the end it is all the same. It feels the same.

Besides that, the tedium mostly boils down to one thing - checkpoints. They are too far apart, forcing players to go through the same sequence again, again and again if they fail. Fun fact: collectible email lore bits are not permanently saved, prepare to read them again if restarting from checkpoint.

Overall game feels too long. It is as if after half the game we haven't really gotten anywhere. Nothing really changes. Entire game is like one or two gigantic levels and not a set of "testing rooms". Again, I like the concept, but playing through this is... for now not what I would like.

Un juego de puzles bastante entretenido y original, que aunque no llega al nivel de la saga Portal sabe diferenciarse.

I played this game with no expectations whatsoever and to my surprise it turned out to be one of the best puzzle games I have ever played. The Portal influence is really obvious, but beyond that the puzzle mechanics are solid and the story is gripping and hits all the right notes. Very recommended.
