Why Twelve Minutes sucks... | Spoilers Review
5Twelve minutes sucks! I really wanted to love Twelve Minutes, this indie game has been on my radar for such a long time. This game seems like it's right up my alley, having experienced many thriller & mystery games in the past. So even before it launched in August, I knew I wanted to cover 12 minutes in some capacity here on this channel.
I just never expected the form this video would eventually end up taking....
*Spoiler Warning*
To be concise, I hate the story (Bad characterization, bad pacing revolving around the "major plot points, unsatisfying mystery with regards to central plot as well as the pretentious ending)
I also hated the gameplay, (Clunky controls, inflexible gameplay mechanics & boring gameplay mechanics)

23:44 "The game is meant to be divisive"
23:56 "The game would have been better as a movie"
24:36 "The game is one big metaphor"
25:11 "Game should have ended with the peaceful loop"
25:26 "Does 12 minutes need to even give a reason for the timeloop existing?"
26:04 "This game is so unique, it's art. It's a masterpiece"
27:18 Final Summary
If there was any way for me to just "forget" that I played through this game, I would absolutely do it, Afterall, it is only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time and approach the experience of living in the present moment........
