Entwined was announced at E3 2014 by Sony as a game fans could download immediately. The surprise announcement during the biggest week of the year for video game news didn't do the new title any favors, but a great game could overcome the poor announcement timing. Entwined is a decent game that does offer some pretty engaging gameplay and some stunning graphical design, but the game has its minor annoyances as well and only offers players about 2 hours worth of gameplay for its $9.99 asking price. Entwined brings up the old argument of whether such a short game is worth buying at full price, but we believe more people will enjoy the new game than will be disappointed with their purchase. Entwined is the type of game that doesn't feature dialogue and doesn't feature an obvious narrative, but it still manages to tell an interesting story. Players will control a bird and fish simultaneously while navigating through narrow corridors and making sure to grab the right ite...
