What players say
Players compare Hourglass to The Talos Principle and Portal, but opinions split on whether that comparison is fair. Many find it a solid puzzle game with a creative time-cloning mechanic, though some call it a boring knock-off and a few puzzles demand punishing precision timing with no margin for error.
