May 23, 2019Utilizing thought-provoking puzzles and intuitive gameplay makes State of Mind a fun experience that keeps us hooked until the very end. With so much to look at and explore, the title does an excellent job of world-building and creating a fully realized society. It's a deep game with much lore that adds to the genre. Where State of Mind excels in providing excellent gameplay, visuals and plot hooks, it falters in being able to answer many of the questions that it poses. Depending on which ending players arrive at, you could be left asking, "Is that it?" Despite its flaws, however, State of Mind kept us hooked until the very end. If one can overlook the plot inconsistencies, State of Mind is a deep story about the "what-ifs" of humanity's future.

Aug 19, 2018An interesting adventure in the hypothetical year 2048, though it lacks replay value and smooth controls. Still, a great story, excellent voice acting and a unique graphical style make this game very much worth your time.
-
Aug 16, 2018Players are instead transported to a world where a unique, riveting story awaits them, with twists lurking around different corners and insightful commentary on a whole variety of topics. While the developer is able to achieve so much success with its story, it does fall short on the introduction of a core mechanic that stops the gameplay from becoming repetitive. But that’s not enough to stop players from reaching State of Mind’s climactic ending, though.
-
Aug 13, 2018State of Mind is a commendably well-presented, if challenge-light effort that dives head first into its deep and winding subject matter with nary a look over its polygonal shoulder. A mature adventure then that proves itself worthy of the descriptor.
-
Aug 13, 2018State of Mind still delivers a stellar sci-fi experience that, while comparable to other entries in the genre, has a character all its own.
-
Aug 14, 2018State of Mind delivers a very interesting story that only gets better as you play. The gameplay is quite simplistic (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) and it is quite pricey (particularly on consoles), but of you’re ok with that, you’ll enjoy this thriller.
-
Aug 17, 2018State of Mind is an interactive futuristic thriller from an adult perspective, which refuses any kind of action. A story dedicated to fans of science-fiction, dystopia and videogames with strong narrative. Maybe the resources of this independent game are limited, but his story deserves to be among the best of the year.
-
Aug 16, 2018If State of Mind is slow, it’s only because it takes the proper amount of time to unfold its world and story. Gameplay may be a bit limited but there are so many good ideas about the concepts it evokes that you can’t help but love it.
-
Aug 14, 2018For those who just can’t get enough of futuristic adventure point-and-click games, State of Mind is worth the virtual trip.
-
Aug 14, 2018State of Mind tells a compelling story about a futuristic world that can be very close to our on the next fifty years. Besides the wonderful narrative, low budget and scarce gameplay ideas are the only reasons why Daedalic game can't compete with the other famous competitor.
-
Aug 13, 2018State of Mind is, for Daedalic, the biggest production bet.
-
Aug 13, 2018An interesting but also dystopian tale that gives us the chance to experience a sordid future. A narrative experience with thriller style and great script twists.
