\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tI’m sure this game is fun but sadly my first time opening it I immediately got an error. I looked into it and apparently it’s an error others have gotten after playing the game and messing with the settings, but I’ve never played the game before. Apparently they found a fix by going into the save file, but I don’t have a save file to go into. Really bummed, sad that I can’t recommend. (Playing on deck)\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Weighted rating out of 5
Best for: Fans of quick, try-again loops where an growing inventory of gotchas and tools help you progress. Then you die, and repeat.
Skip if: You dislike repetition or time pressure. Dying every 60 seconds and trekking back through the same areas is an acquired taste.
I was honestly taken back a bit by the art direction. If I would have spent more than 10 seconds looking at the screenshots on the store page I wouldn't have been but here I was, diving in blind. The style grew on me I guess, it is distinct and memorable, albeit a bit impractical: Found it a bit difficult to navigate nonetheless without much contrast. I will still rate the art highly.
Progression feels great. The arc and introduction of new challenges is well-paced and there isn't ever a jump in difficulty that feels interruptive. Every now and then I got a bit disheartened by multiple runs not leading anywhere. Thankfully there's a "kill me instantly"-button that allowed me to just reset.
All in all, well-executed game from a rather simple idea. Recommended if this feels like something that would entice you.

Summary
Minit is a peculiar little adventure played sixty seconds at a time. But fret not, you pick up tools along the way that can help you in subsequent runs.Best for: Fans of quick, try-again loops where an growing inventory of gotchas and tools help you progress. Then you die, and repeat.
Skip if: You dislike repetition or time pressure. Dying every 60 seconds and trekking back through the same areas is an acquired taste.
Review
Minit is a 2D top-down adventure where the character dies every 60 seconds. Each life starts back at your home, but everything collected and unlocked persists. You sprint, explore, accomplish something meaningful, die, repeat.I was honestly taken back a bit by the art direction. If I would have spent more than 10 seconds looking at the screenshots on the store page I wouldn't have been but here I was, diving in blind. The style grew on me I guess, it is distinct and memorable, albeit a bit impractical: Found it a bit difficult to navigate nonetheless without much contrast. I will still rate the art highly.
