Minit Reviews
With an interesting idea at its heart, Minit becomes a tiring process of incremental steps. There are moments where its looping play does shine, but they are rare, and, like its fleeting premise, it wont stay in the mind long.
Minit takes an interesting approach with it's one minute timelimit but doesnt do much interesting stuff with it. In the end most aspects of the game suffer from that mechanic and the game collapses on it's own unique mechanic.

A good take on the Time Loop game, but doesn’t have the legs to make it a great game. There are good moments, but it lacks a length or consistency that makes it a stronger recommendation
Too short to be memorable, Minit is painfully average. Its attempt at innovating fails, as well as its art direction, but fortunately it can still grant a few moments of fun on an uneventful evening, especially if you're a speedrun enthusiast.

Minit manages to capture the nostalgic feeling of older games and some of its features are certainly fun. However outdated design choices may make it difficult to enjoy for modern gamers. This is the title to approach if you are willing to relive the memories of the past.

The twist at the core of Minit, that you play it sixty seconds at a time, is initially intriguing and engaging, but ends up clashing with the puzzle and exploration-heavy gameplay in a way that left me feeling agitated rather than charmed by this nostalgia-driven indie title.
Minit lives and dies by the time-constraining gimmick it possesses. The constant specter of death makes the short quest feel like an epic adventure, but the game as a whole doesn't rise above being more than a curious novelty.
The death timer can feel like a gimmick sometimes, but it gives this fun, charming adventure a compelling edge.
One of the more fun experiments to test, with a sublime world to explore, and less-than-sublime gameplay attached.
Minit is a lighthearted and cleverly designed adventure that successfully builds a game around a peculiar premise. Playing in 60-second bursts can initially be frustrating, but once you wrap your head around the game's structure, it becomes an addictive and memorable little title that doesn't outstay its welcome. The abundance of secrets makes the game much deeper than it may seem, too.
Minit is an experimental game at heart, and in many ways it's a successful one.
Minit surprised me. After starting on a small scale that will make you think that it will be over in a few minutes, the game will soon let you know it's a larger adventure. I liked playing through the campaign of Minit, since The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is one of my favorite games of all time – it also has a bit of Half-Minute Hero in it, which is definitely great.
Minit is a bite-sized Zelda perfect for brief moments of play. While the time management mechanic forces a lot of backtracking and can make solving the game's puzzle's frustrating, there's a deceptive amount of content.
"Every minute is meaningful."

Discovery is really the driving force and fun in the game as you try to initially see everything around you and then race against the limited clock to make something meaningful happen in each run. The adventure it holds is an unusual mix of the familiar, but with some twists in places that can toy with your expectations and add nicely to the fun. Throw in an added Game+ mode that cranks things up another level and it ends up being a refreshingly different and satisfying package for people who thought they’ve seen everything action adventures have to offer.
Minit is a game that is hard to place. You want to like it for its cute idea and fun cast of characters but at the same time you are too busy throwing your controller at the wall because you are dying all the time just from exploring. This was a great idea on paper but I just don’t think it transferred well in digital form.
Minit fully embraces its unique mechanics and quirky style to present a game that's both refreshing, and yet comfortably familiar.
Minit’s delightful minute-to-minute gameplay is as rewarding as it is decisive. Having Minit be so focused is to the game’s benefit. Never before has a game’s core mechanics been in such succinct harmony with the gameplay. The short run times ensure that whether you have a few minutes or hours, the game accommodates any amount of time you’re willing to put into it. And it the satisfactory return on your investment is nothing but respect for the player.
Minit is a nice and lovely mini-adventure full of interesting puzzles and fun situations.

Minit itself is a huge achievement, something that comes across as so basic but manages to hide many intricate details including a narrative that is discovered as the game progresses.
