No Time

No Time is one of my favourite indie games of the late 2010's/early 2020s. It has so much potential. However, this is also its drawback. quick TL;DR: I'd give this a solid 8/10 as of 21/06/2026 when I'm writing this. If the bugs can get ironed out and the gameplay can become a bit more seamless, I'd unironically call this a 10/10, but to anyone that doesn't mind a bit of jank, you'll love this. The long bit: The Pros: - low-poly artstyle looks nice, and is kept consistent throughout, so nothing looks out of place - writing can be quite funny at times - dev is great at listening to community feedback and adjusting things - exploring the world, improving the car, gaining more and more access to better and better tools is great - destroying the stock market by purchasing gold in the 1800s and selling it in the 2020s for 20x profit is hilarious, and takes a little bit of the tedium out of grinding for extra money for the few times the game requires you to have a little bit laying around. - it's amazing watching your past selves run around and replicate exactly what you were doing. One of my favourite things now is to travel to a few minutes BEFORE I left my previous time when bringing stuff back, just to watch myself leave again. At times, I end up with 10 of me all arriving and leaving at similar times, which is really funny to watch. the cons: - for a game of this visual style, performance is POOR. Don't get me wrong, it runs, and it runs well, but the fact that an RTX 5080 can only push about 80 FPS at 1440p high/ultra is not terribly impressive for a game that looks like this (I know the way I've worded it makes it seem like a seriously first world problem, but I've seen this issue permeate on devices like my Steam Deck to a much more extreme degree, making what should be totally fine ultimately near unplayable) - it's a buggy mess. I fully respect it's a one-man dev team, and it's amazing what the dev has pulled off, but if you're looking for a polished experience, look literally anywhere else. I routinely had items bugging out and disappearing, my health and hunger were practically random sometimes, enemies had inconsistent damage ranges, hitboxes were inconsistent, some of the car mechanics can be a bit rough in certain time periods, quests can routinely get frozen if you do them even remotely out-of-order (e.g. grabbing an item you'll need later in advance of needing it can sometimes cause the NPCs to get stuck), and not all objectives are inherently obvious for where you need to go, leading to a lot of running in circles hunting for the specific spot or NPC that triggers the next interaction - the game drags somewhat in its 2nd and 3rd acts, because the gimmick of the time travel wears off somewhat, and certain mechanics get limited utilisation, leading it to feel more like a bunch of fetch quests than a fun sandbox overall: it's an amazing game held back by still being very firmly trapped in early access. You get what it says on the tin, a game still heavily in development, and very much not ready for a "wider audience" yet. The fundamentals are there, and it's absolutely a blast to play around with (hell I have 35 hours in this game as a spare time mess-around sort of thing), but it's definitely not 100% finished, and I have faith the dev will pull through and keep improving the game. Highly recommend, unless you can't stomach jank, in which case, maybe give this one a pass for now.

Needlessly complicated. If you want immersion (clicking controls to activate certain features like reactor cooling and manual date entry) then the low poly look isn't the way to go. If you're going low poly, then relax on the complicated controls. Pick a lane. Refunded.

time travel is cool

its fun and you can time travel

Best Time Travelling game I have ever played.

great game, Ive played it for years now. only getting t write a review now a bit late after roughly 390 hours yes i know. Story is great and a lot of possibilities when it comes to just messing around.
