The Entropy Centre

The Entropy Centre is a first-person puzzle game set on a crumbling space station orbiting a burning Earth. You carry ASTRA, a chatty AI device that rewinds objects through time, and use it to rebuild collapsed walkways, replay the path of a cube or undo a jump pad's launch. It suits solo players who loved Portal and want a long run of physics test chambers with a story.

Players rate it Very Positive, at about 87 percent of 2,774 reviews. Many call it a clear Portal heir, but say the rewind mechanic feels distinct because you plan positions and moves in advance. Reviewers praise elegant puzzles that feel earned, the brutalist station design, the banter with ASTRA and an ending several found thought-provoking.

The complaints focus on the second half. Some players found later acts frustrating even with a guide, disliked sections with respawning robot enemies, and called the short rewind time limit and fussy bounce-pad placement needless friction. A few felt it runs too long. Expect around eight to twelve hours. Buy it if you want a meaty first-person puzzler; players who dislike timing and precision should wait for a sale.
