You have probably heard all about its story after the Xbox One, PC release earlier this year, and now you can experience it all for yourself: Twelve Minutes comes to PlayStation 5 and PS4 on 7th December 2021. A new trailer can be watched through here, with the game starring Daisy Ridley, James McAvoy, and Willem Dafoe. It's a top-down adventure game where you control a character by selecting objects in the environment for them to interact with, and they just so happen to be stuck in a time loop.
The game was met with a decent amount of praise when it first released back in August, garnering a Metacritic rating of 76. It even got nominated as the Best Indie Game at next month's The Game Awards. Somehow. However, the problem is that the title's biggest flaw is also its biggest spoiler. If you know, you know. Once everyone else got their hands on Twelve Minutes, the most important narrative beat became its largest talking point. We don't want to share any spoilers here, but it's not good. The game costs £20.99/$24.99.

Ohh baby. Interesting game, it doesn’t totally hold up to the expectations but still good.
Finally coming to the best gaming plattform.
The twist is not that bad. Sure it's a bit "oh god"...but it was ok!
This one is interesting.
That ending though....
I liked it, but wow...
Despite having the big plot twist ruined for me some time ago, which....is an uncomfortable reveal to say the least, i still want to play this. And hey Star Wars did that plot twist years ago anyway.
I'm just waiting for @nessisonett to post in here.
@LiamCroft
I guess I found the big flaw you're referring to. Sure it doesn't sound like particularly good writing, but selective amnesia is such a common trope that most people simply won't care.
This one was really disappointing. I was looking forward to it for a while, and it just wasn't good. The twist ending is the least of my problems with 12 Minutes.
Releasing on “PS Plus day”. Probably won’t be one of the games but you know… just saying
@Voltan this would be cool. Wasn’t it on Xbox game pass as well from day one?
@nessisonett
Come and See. An utterly superb, utterly harrowing masterpiece. One of the best performances by a young actor without question.
@Vacuumator Hooray, someone recognises the gif! And yes, the feelings of utter despair is how I feel knowing that more people will be exposed to the absolute dumpster fire that is Twelve Minutes.
@Reeneman I think it was, yeah. I don’t expect it to launch on PS+ but I’ll probably play it if it does.
I'm curious about it - just not enough to sink 25€, which I assume will be the price here since European players almost always get scammed.
Point is, I'll probably get it on a sale.
Now, I'm intrigued. I heard some people didn't like it, but I didn't know there was a controversy. Is the game worth playing or should I just go to Wikipedia and see what all the hubbub about the narrative is?
Guys save your money . its a terrible game XD
When are Decembers PS+ games due... date seems about right and I would certainly giver this a go via PS+
Unless it’s on plus don’t bother
Tried on Game Pass as was intrigued, deleted after 15 minutes 😬
Everything comes to PlayStation eventually I bet you even Bethesda games will one day(I know everyone will say no and I am mad but they said that to me about BioShock and Mass Effect and Alan Wake and millions of another games and I was right in the end) Give it 10 years or so, trust me
Might have a go just out of curiosity… as it seemed to offend the world.
Also gave it a spin on Game Pass. It was uninstalled after 30 minutes. I found it very dull, two endings were enough for me... didn't even get to the twist!
Green Goblin visits a couple in their apartment.
Looking for Spider-Man.
It's more fun just to get yourself killed than to actually play the game.
This was one of my bigger disappointments this year. Hope you enjoy it.
I ain't paying for this mess
I'll still buy it on PS5 just to support the developers who no doubt worked really hard on this game... despite some of it's questionable story elements.
Doesn't sound like my cuppa, but Willem Dafoe reminds me that we will finally see Tobs Maguire back on the big screen next month!
I'll buy it during a big sale but in no hurry.
