Aside from a few mishaps in dialogue, Timespinner distinguishes itself with an absorbing story with interesting underlying themes. It stands out with a refreshing time travelling spin on combat that reflects the diversity of the level designs. Exploration, sans the tiny map, is enjoyable, with the past and present boasting unique music and mechanics to keep things fresh. Overall, this solid adventure is a great use of your time.

Jahanzeb writes: "Even in the presence of so many great options for a Metroidvania experience, the quality of Timespinner is strong enough to warrant interest from not just genre fans, but anyone looking for a consistently engaging and polished 2D adventure epic."
Neil writes: "It originally started off as a student project, before making it big as a crowdfunded indie title on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and PS Vita. Now though Lunar Ray Games are pushing Timespinner out once more, with a launch on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch."
Ooh I was going to get this for PS4, but if it's on Xbox One then I'd rather get the achievements!
