"I wish I could turn back time..." I thought to myself as I realized how hyped I was for "12 Minutes". From the very first teasers and trailers, I was captivated by the concept of coming back home to our little apartment after work, and being greeted by our loving wife, but with the twist that this pleasant time would only last... 12 minutes.

If you've seen Bill Murray in "The Groundhog Day", you might know what it's like to be stuck in a time loop. In our case, we only have 12 minutes to figure out how to stop the loop from repeating itself endlessly. Unlike Bill Murray's day-long loop, ours is much shorter, but no less challenging.

I really wanted to like this game, but the drag of repeating the same things just made it worse with every loop.
