Clever and well-executed puzzle mechanics including time clones, spatial clones, and use of ‘death’ as a gameplay element.
Minimalist, clean visuals and relaxing soundtrack create a soothing and appealing atmosphere.
Gradual introduction of new concepts with satisfying puzzle progression and encouraging out-of-the-box thinking.

The game is quite short, with completion times around 1-2 hours and limited replay value due to simplicity and lack of complex level combinations.
Controls feel somewhat floaty and imprecise, with no undo or rewind options making some puzzles frustrating to retry.
Pricing is considered high relative to the game content and length, with recommendations to purchase during sales.

The gameplay of "déjà vu" is simple and initially easy to grasp, focusing on cube manipulation and timing-based puzzles. While it introduces clever mechanics like cloning and NPCs progressively, the game feels short and somewhat underdeveloped, with the central cloning mechanic arriving late and limited depth beyond the initial concepts. Overall, it offers a solid but brief puzzling experience with some missed opportunities for expanded complexity.
- “Overall, Deja Vu is a solid puzzle title which uses its mechanics very cleverly and can satiate your puzzling thirst for the time being.”
- “There is already a lot of timing involved with these mechanics, but around level 20 (so after 10-15 minutes) clones enter the picture.”
- “The game gets really interesting once you have to combine these mechanics.”
- “Anyway, the gameplay of "déjà vu" is unexpectedly short.”
- “The big number in the corner shows how many clones you can create by pressing space, and they'll do exactly the same thing you did until that point, which is another mechanic I loathe.”
- “It's a flawed game, lingering a bit long before introducing the central cloning mechanic and lacking in certain accessibility options such as a proper colorblind mode.”
