Twelve Minutes
With its strange mix of star-studded cast (Daisy Ridley, James McAvoy, and Willem Dafoe) and locked-room, isometric live-die-repeat gameplay, Twelve Minutes is, at the very least, an interesting game, even if it doesn’t work nearly as well on a phone as it does on a PC. When trying to use touch controls, you’ll often hover your finger over the object you’re trying to pick up or interact with. This led to at least one rather funny interaction when I pissed off my wife by accidentally taking her cup of water off the dining room table. Still, it’s a unique puzzle game with a clever twist that’s worth it for an afternoon or two of scratching out how to solve the loop.
