Clearly there’s a theme, maybe even a message, tucked beneath the downtrodden attire the game sports, but with such a rushed progression and lackluster attempt to develop both characters and setting alike, Twin Mirror‘s overall story is likely to fall by the wayside. Dontnod are capable of so much more than what this latest outing provides — it’s not terrible, but Twin Mirror is a misfire from a developer whose experience and past achievements would have you presume they should know better.
By HardcoreGamer onSo much of Twin Mirror is left completely up to interpretation because it always refers to situations you as the player didn't get to see, leaving you with no connection to any of the characters. As a result, the game is just uniformly awkward.
By EuroGamer onEpisodic games have struggled to sell well after the first episode and also suffered from protracted release schedules, and Twin Mirror shows that the studio has a willingness to explore new territory.

It combines the reconstruction aspect from their debut, Remember Me, with the cinematic and narrative focus of Life is Strange. It is a very polished game, but it left me wanting more in a few areas and I didn't feel like I was having a true impact on the story's outcome. It will definitely appeal to genre fans but it never quite develops its own clear identity. Ironically enough, it feels like a hazy reflection of what it could have been.

By Bit-tech.net onNel complesso dunque Twin Mirror ha tutte le potenzialità per rivelarsi un progetto interessante e sulla falsa riga del bellissimo Alan Wake. Ci chiediamo tuttavia se l'aspetto troppo macchinoso del palazzo mentale verrà rivisto dagli sviluppatori,...
