    Sometimes traversing in the game was a bit annoying because the movement of your character feels clunky and awkward.

I enjoyed the puzzles that were offer in the game in terms of the gameplay there isn’t much else. Does State of Mind do enough to get a recommendation from me? All in all sometimes I fall in love with a game due to a fantastic story and to say State of Mind had a very intriguing and fantastic story would be quite the understatement. In fact it’s without a doubt the best aspect of the game and that’s pretty impressive considering the game doesn’t get too much wrong at all. Obviously a story wouldn’t be as good if it didn’t have good presentation and thankfully I’m pleased to say that both the visuals and sound design shine brightly at all times. This very good presentation then makes the world in which the game takes place in come alive, which is very important because it makes you forget about the fact that the game doesn’t offer much in terms of gameplay. Despite its lack of gameplay I still recommend this game quite highly though because it hooks you from start to finish and delivers some very memorable moments along the way.… Expand

    Gameplay is just slightly more than a typical walking simulator, but the story is great. However the ending was pretty weak.

    A compelling science fiction drama that just misses the mark of greatness. [Nov 2018, p.90]

    f you're a fan of science fiction stories, such as the Deus Ex games, you'll most likely find something to like in State of Mind. It's got some nice twists and surprises once it starts moving along at a good pace. The number of characters you eventually play as and the learning of some good information about each of their lives helps the story out a good bit. Also, the game's style by itself was enough to draw me into it from the get-go.

    A game with a lot of narrative potential but no mechanics to keep you playing.
