    Fractured Minds on Xbox One is a brave and admirable attempt at using video games in an effort to reach out to people who have to struggle silently with mental health.

    The truth is that to truly appreciate Fractured Minds and leave the game having been rewarded and touched by its content, it is imperative that you approach it in the knowledge that the actual gameplay and puzzling is entirely secondary to the experience and the message. Not that the puzzling is completely pointless, it’s just heavily weighted to the simplistic...If you can do that, what awaits is wholly unnerving and uncomfortable. Fractured Minds is an insight intended to open eyes wide to the daily turmoil mental health can raise. From the half-light of paranoia to the all too bright light of anxiety, this is a game that makes its mark, and in my opinion, makes those who play it all the richer for having done so.

To truly enjoy the game youFractured Minds while short, this shows and portrays how it feels most days dealing with depression and anxiety. To truly enjoy the game you must relate to the content, The message at the end felt....I felt like WOW, and It touched me in a special way. For anyone out there dealing with depression or anxiety, I highly recommend this game for their Xbox One library. Even if you don't connect with it as those who can directly relate. It's at least nice knowing that most of the proceeds are going towards a charity and helping people with these types of struggles. It's very comforting as a long time gamer, to see how gaming can be used to also help battle the struggle millions have dealt with in their life. I wish Emily immense success in her cause, the price is right and so is the game for the price and the reason behind the price is worthy of anyone with an Xbox One to pick this one up.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Pretentious game, the game claims to deal with the subject of anxiety but it does so with obvious and non-functional symbolisms, the puzzles are silly and pointless, the controls are bad, it is difficult to interact with the objects, it does not actually talk about anxiety to Except for a mention in a boring, non-impact text that gives cursory advice for anxiety appearing at the end of the game, the text just says that anxiety is bad. I don't recommend playing this… Full Review »
