The Good
- Transhumanist theme offers some rich real estate for world-building and interesting ethical implications
- locations nicely set up dystopian/utopian atmospheres
- voice cast (with one caveat) works well
- final act begins to right the ship again.
The Bad
- Main narrative becomes dull and drags aimlessly from plot point to plot point
- off-putting low-poly aesthetic choice for character models
- very few and banal puzzles
- main protagonist’s voice seems an ill fit.
Our Verdict
Uneven
A near-equal balance of good and bad that can make a game either fall disappointingly short of its evident potential or be mildly entertaining despite its many failings.
Many of State of Mind’s ideas sound great on paper, but as an interactive thriller it fails to establish proper stakes, with virtually no challenge, a world with few likeable characters, and a story sparse on purposeful events.
