Entwined review | Thunderbolt
On the surface, Entwined looks like an excellent addition to Sony’s stable of of high quality indie offerings. It has the look (abstract, colorful, gorgeous), the theme (two star-crossed animals attempting to connect with each other over several lifetimes) and, on paper, the mechanics (flights down hypnotic corridors, passing through shifting, colored gateways). The boxes all appear to be checked, but after a few minutes of playing the game, it becomes apparent that Entwined doesn’t hold the wistful, relaxing and thoughtful quality of games like Flower or Journey, nor the thrilling replayability of something like Velocity 2X.
