These characters aren't bad in their bubble, but as a whole they don't work. We go from characters perpetually wrong in every possible situation like Kathy, to others who are simply people with common sense who can never be wrong. The cast of secondary characters is also extremely boring. As mentioned at the beginning of the review, it is competent writing, but nothing more. even too much, to the point of being predictable and banal. There are no particular slips in writing, everything that happens is logical and sensible. The worst thing a mystery thriller can do is have a solution so trivial that it is discovered far earlier than the writers intended, and Twin Mirror is gravely guilty of this sin. The intrigue behind the mystery is immediately broken by the fact that the suspects are so clichéd that they unwittingly communicate the entire story through their role in the presentation phase. Because of this, Sam is flat and boring, thanks also to the multiple choices between his ideas, which are always rude or childish, and those of the doppelganger that instead lead him to behave like a normal person. The mental palace turns out to be an excuse for tedious and banal micro-puzzles, thus throwing away all the magnificent ideas that they could have to develop a materialization of the inner world of the protagonist. The basis of the narrative is interesting, nothing extremely imaginative, but certainly with a lot of potential. After being incited by the daughter of the deceased, Sam will begin to investigate the death of his friend, with his doppelganger and his mental palace always at his side. Following the death of a friend, Sam returns to the town he fled from years earlier after publishing an article that destroyed the lives of many citizens, resulting in the closure of the mine that supported them. The story follows Sam, an ex-journalist with a dual personality and the ability to use his mind as a "palace" to control himself and dig into his memories. Without further ado, let's dive into the main theme of this review: narrative. Twin Mirror therefore started with the best premises, but it takes very little to begin to notice how empty everything that revolves around the good graphic presentation is. The settings are detailed and alive, the animations of the characters are woody, but not enough to break the immersion and the play of light creates some quite suggestive scenes. The step forward compared to Tell Me Why is remarkable, and the graphic aspect is probably the only thing we can promote in this new production. Graphically, Twin Mirror is undoubtedly DONTNOD's most ambitious and successful title. Twin Mirror is a modern graphic adventure, along the lines of works such as Life is Strange or Detroid Become Human, in which narrative and scenic presentation are at the fore. But let's go deeper, and see what convinced us and what we didn't like about the first self-published game by DONTNOD.
The DONTNOD adventure is written better than other works in the same genre, in the sense that it has a sensible narrative that flows from start to finish, but brings nothing compelling to the table, ending up giving the impression of lasting longer than it should despite in reality it does not last very long. After our 2 title runs, we found ourselves quite disappointed, not because of insufficient work but because of a lack of soul in everything Twin Mirror tries to do. Everything he does is competent, nothing is notably badly done, but on the other hand nothing surprised us. The best word to describe Twin Mirror is "competent".
