Think on the contrary and find impossible solutions. A first-person adventure in which
you will have to solve ingenious and complex puzzles by rewinding objects back in time.
(Negotiation) Steam)
By now faithfully fan of puzzle games [I refer you to the review of Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary ] I have tested for you this title recently arrived at home KotaWorld.
Before starting I leave you a small spoiler/puzzle harmless that will help you understand if this title does for you:
ORTEIDNI'LLA ERANOIGAR ID 'AREDEIHC IV OCOIG OTSEUQ
If you surrendered or didn't want to devote a moment to the previous sentence, well... The Entropy Centre is not for you!We continue for those who have solved the puzzle and want to know more
History
The story has done right awayto conclude the title before recensing it. A puzzle game with a beautiful story h surelyan extra march and this is our case. The Entropy Centre is a (satellite research laboratory of the planet Earth) attended by "operators" who, through a particular instrument, can rewind the timeline, rebuilding the surrounding environment and bringing them objects around them back in time.
The Earth is shown to us as if it were irreparably destined to a horrible fate. It will succeed our protagonist Aria to solve the situation?
Net of all the experience experienced with this title, I feel I strongly recommend you to dedicate soul and body in following BENE the story, especially through the reading of every "actual" concealed in the past 70 old computers with catodic tube screens expertly scattered around the world of play.
A correct and careful reading, in fact, will allow you to fully understand the particularly surreal situation in which you are and will provide that small investigative stimulus that, as in my case, will allow you to find the strength to finish the many (to too many) puzzles, which at the long time inevitably become a little repetitive.
The Gameplay
Played without any problem with both keyboard that with the controller, The Entropy Centre presents about fifteen acts of historyeach containing a handful of puzzles with ever increasing difficulty. Such puzzles, however, become very fast monotonous,risking to tire even those who love the genre.
The setting remember TANTISSIMO the saga of Portal 1 and 2,title that developers have clearly inspired themselves, but without reaching the same levels of depth and originality. Fortunately, however, The Entropy Centre has in turn several interesting aspects: first of all certainly l"revolent weapon" that will allow us to rewind the time of all objects capable of undergoing a space-time shift present in the level.
Solving puzzles is apparently intuitive: it will be enough to succeedget to unlock the doors that lead to the next level. The real problem lies in the "how".
We'll have to do it. move cubes, trampolines, cubes with laser beam to walkand other spikes that will allow us to activate different platforms, responsible foropening of the above doors.
Considering that the weapon is capable of Only to rewind time, will be priority for us to reason at the meeting. And if at first everything will seem absolutely counterintuitive (as it is normal that it is) with the passing of time and levels, despite the growing difficulty, you will realize you can find the correct position of the objects of the level following the logic of play without major problems.
This has led several times to one tedious and tiring repetition of the same motiveswith that they look too much already about half the game. We rated with the other boys of KotaWorld that in about 20-25 hours, without excessive speed, all levels can be concluded.
In the first ten hours (40-50% of the total hours calculated) there is practically no "action" phase or that gives a thrill of adrenaline/emotional interaction with the surrounding enigma-puzzle system. There is therefore being happy to have finished that exact puzzle but without any kind of reward if not the physiological release of dopamine of our good old central nervous system.
It would also be enough a good background soundtrack to accompany us on this journey, but, alas, perhaps not to distract us too much from the inverse reasoning, this is not present. These cows are definitely to be taken into account especially in those players who tend to get tired of playing titles especially little "energy" or "stimulating".

Even the eye wants his part
Eyebrow Flower of this puzzle game is undoubtedly the graphic look. Textures, settings, 3D models, particle effects, animations and PhysX-like effects I was particularly bewitched and brought to simply enjoy the view of the surrounding environment,so much that it does not give little weight to the carrying out of the riddle itself.
The ray-tracing is therefore clearly visible and general optimization never led to bug-glitch visible throughout the game. There have been no crashes or visual aberrations such as to be reported and under this particular and important aspect it is possible to get to say thata great development work has been carried out. I remember in fact that this game was made by a single developer belonging to the Stubby Games in Brighton (UK) to which our living compliments go.

Concluding
The Entropy Centreis therefore characterized by a great duality:on one side before us presents a SIGNOR puzzle game, that can be enough innovative and introduces the mechanics of the "temporal revolution" as a valid and balanced instrument of resolution of the puzzles, all with a constant feeling particularly Portal-like wehas put a lot of nostalgia;on the other hand is impossible to deny the presence of an excessive monotony and absence of a minimum of adrenaline charge to give rhythm to the adventure,what only on a few occasions you can try. Small, healthy and last spoiler: there are some small time puzzles that I would define almost platforming really well thought out but perhaps too little exploited.
We all KotaWorld so we definitely feel recommend the purchase,with the only suggestion to play it in small doses every day, to avoid getting bored easily after the resolution of a few puzzles.
