On Metacritic, the Windows and PlayStation 5 versions of The Entropy Centre received positive reviews; [4] [5] the Xbox Series X version received mixed reviews. [6] Although Game Informer greatly enjoyed the puzzles, they felt that the narrative elements were not paced as well. [1] IGN 's reviewer enjoyed the first 10 hours, but subsequent puzzles struck her as not creative enough. [7] Conversely, Push Square felt "everything is constantly updated and feels fresh". However, they criticized the game's asset reuse, which they felt made interiors look indistinguishable. [8]
