This game might get bad reviews, but I really enjoy it and just finished my 2nd play-through of the game. I think this illustrates that you shouldn't listen to reviews, and try games out for yourself if it looks interesting to you and/or an interesting setting/premise. Specifically some thing I like about the game: 1) Setting and back story about the "surface going to hell" and humanity waiting it out in cryo...

Twin Sector is an Indie Portal wannabe that took the very few bad things from Portal and based a game on those, while throwing away all the good things from Portal. Twin Sector presents itself as a puzzle game, but it is not. The puzzles it offers are ludicrously easy to solve as an intellectual challenge, yet mindboggingly hard to pull off as far as physics are concerned. That is the fault of the way the game...

5/10 for originality, 4/10 for functionality, yet it has its charm. This is a first impression review. This game is clearly heavily inspired by Portal, but the game lacks refinement to be a good game. Positioning objects and yourself is pure jank. Obviously I wasn't willing to continue past an hour playtime, yet I have too soft a spot for this game to disrecommend it. First of all, this from 2009! It doesn't look...

It's copycat of "Portal" but not bad at all. It has a lot that resemble to Portal so if you feel like to play puzzle game this is what you are looking for. Ending of this game seems it will be sequel but I don't think developers can make it actually, considering about rating and reviews though.

If there was a title field, I'd to call the review "Prepare to die.recurrent". Despite some players considering this game a bad copy of Portal, it's not. You don't even have a portal gun! Well, definitely it's poor made. Looks like HL1 age game. With better textures. But. It's good game if You like puzzler FPS. This game lacks of balance, and the chance of Your death occurance converge to 1 while You being progress...

Twin Sector is a hard game to thumbs down because the premise of "Portal but with the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 instead of a Portal Gun" is good and there are some puzzles that use it well, but it's just too clunky to wholeheartedly recommend. This was really the first of the Portal clones and after the original came out I was desperate for anything with a similar style. Where Twin Sector really falls down is that...

There's a reason this game only gets a 49 on the Metascore board. The controls are bad, the dialogue can break glass, the lack of continue points (until WAY later in the game) combined with long loading times between deaths, the annoyingly unforgiving short height in which you can fall to your death, and many other things made this game feel more like a chore to play than an enjoyable experience. To be honest, I'd...

Millennia ago, before the advent of Steam Greenlight or even user reviews, it was rare to find a title on the platform that was just outright bad. There was a small selection of underwhelming titles to be had, though, and Twin Sector could always be found circling the drain of that particular tub. I never knew why or even what it was really about, other than being a first-person puzzle game akin to Portal. A small...

Didn't make it through the second chapter, but the sparse checkpoints, awkward physics, and draconian fall damage did not set high expectations for the rest of the game, so I trust you'll forgive me for quitting early.

Riding on the fame of Portal, this game tries to mimic the concept, but due to budget or lack of time to polish fall quite short. The cinematics dated even for it's time and the vioce acting is stiff the least. It has however large maps, challenging puzzles, and a clishe but still interesting story.... And bugs... and crashes.... and unfair difficulty at the end. Despite all, for me it was a fun little...
