How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“If you can live with a weak protagonist, some questionable design decisions and pixel hunting segments, then expect Twin Mirror to be a rather good detective game. What we can say is that spending time with Twin Miror is much more interesting than with Life is Strange 2, that suffred greatly from snail-like pacing.”

“Poorly written and dreary directed Twin Mirror doesn't worth a second of your time.”

“Twin Mirror is a game that has a lot to say about small towns, mental health, and the value of truth over popularity. If you’re a fan of narrative-driven adventure games, you should definitely check this one out. However, if you expect it to be on par with Life is Strange or Vampyr, you might be a little disappointed.”

“Twin Mirror is a shallow, dour few hours of adventure, with only a few moments that would make it worth a curious gamer's time. Every time you find yourself trying to fall under its narrative spell, one problem or another causes the whole illusion to shatter.”

“While the opening act of Twin Mirror sets up a rather strong and intriguing front, it falls short quickly with its underwhelming protagonist, lack of emotion between some of the main characters, and an anti-climatic conclusion.”

“Between the lack of marketing leading up to its release, its poor pacing, and the thin writing and investigation mechanics, Twin Mirror smacks of a game that just wasn't given enough time. With some polish on the game's earlier moments and more thoughtful dialogue, it could have stood a real chance. Unfortunately, between the stilted narrative development, cheerless puzzles, and wooden, small-town cliches, there's less here than whatever remains of Sam's journalistic career.”

“Twin Mirror is like an airliner that wants to take off but it loses control. The story is simple, there are a lot of cliché and it has non-original gameplay. Nevertheless, characters, atmosphere and graphic make Twin Mirror one of the best Dontnod works.”

“Whether in respect of gameplay or storytelling, the longer Twin Mirror peers at the glass the easier it is to see a pale reflection of DONTNOD’s previous work.”

“Twin Mirror won't win any awards for creativity or interesting narrative choices, but it's strong themes that tie the entire experience together make it well worth the price of admission.”

“The game plays out like your typical DONTNOD experience with environments to rummage through and a handful of dialogue choices to make, affecting the narrative and ending in the process, with a somewhat interesting use case for the Mind Palace. Sam enters a sort of alternate reality where he can piece together crime scenes to gain a better understanding. It’s neat, but nothing you haven’t seen before in past Sherlock Holmes titles. And while one more twist provides the protagonist with a physical manifestation of his sub-conscience, it’s more annoying than helpful. The same can be said of most characters in Twin Mirror, actually.”

“Dontnod knows how to tell stories to the people. Especially blurred and complicated ones. Twin Mirror is a good experience with all of its.”

“Twin Mirror is a good example of a game that tried to be bigger than what it is intended to be, this game is neither a small creative experience nor an exceptional big game, it is just a mediocre game that did a lot of bad things, unfortunately, the good things in this game could be presented better such as the characters, the idea of the Mind Palace could be used more and be relied on more but it just didn't happen, in the end, this game is a mirror that tried to reflect something beautiful but it turned out to be ugly.”
