This game wears it's inspiration on it's sleeve. Entropy center is a first-person game where you solve puzzles in a sciencey place with a sci-fi gun, as an AI with a lot of personality talks to you..... sound familiar? Its basically Portal with some things swapped around. The biggest change is that the gun you use rewinds time instead of shooting portals.

Now being a Portal ripoff isn't a bad thing, especially since there aren't many games like it. However, it does mean you will be compared to 2 of the best games ever made, and this game doesn't stand up Portal 1 and 2. The writing and story is pretty good, the time gun is pretty cool, and the game is very polished. However, the puzzles just aren't as fun. What you find out pretty early on, is that basically every puzzle has you moving a cube from the final position you want it to the first position you want it, so you can rewind it as you jump through the puzzle. You do need to figure out where the cubes need to go, but its rarely that difficult, and after that the puzzles kind of just solve themselves. Not to mention the fact that tracing the path you want the cubes to move in is a little tedious, and if you screw up, you need to redo everything from the start.

That said the game is still fun. I just wish there was a little more to the puzzle design.
