"The worlds of Portal and Tenet combine to bring a puzzling game about turning back time."
Read original review"The Entropy Centre, although clearly inspired by Portal, does a pretty good job standing on its own. The puzzles are good, the level design is even better, and the overall aesthetic is solid."
Read original review"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, …"
