Although suffering from a number of quality issues, Gemini: Heroes Reborn has some interesting game play concepts that make it enjoyable for its short play time.

To get the bad out of the way first: The game's graphics looks far more dated than its 2016 release date would imply, the voice acting is nothing much, the plot is pretty dumb and the loading screens are obnoxiously long. Basically, the whole package feels underfunded and/or amateurish.

However, playing the game lets you do some neat stuff with time shifting and telekinesis. Freeze bullets and fling them back, slow time to dodge enemies, mentally throw barrels and desks at bad guys, shift yourself into another time frame to rest up and spy on the guards through a little time rift to plan your return. The game has some cool concepts that could have been better executed but -- for a 4-5hr game -- are still worth taking a spin through.

I'm giving this a "thumbs up" but I couldn't recommend spending the $15 MSRP on it. Pick it up in a bundle or something but it's worth trying once it's in your collection.
