Great aesthetics and that is abou it

The graphics are really cool, stilized, but the game doesn't offer much, other than that. The gameplay is too dull, you just walk in small places, browse through unisnpired dialogs and watches a cliche story. There are some puzzles, true, but they are too simple, not fun and doesn't add anything to the experience. It is like they are there just to justify this product as a game, and not to entertain the player. It really didn't feel like a real game, more like a canned product, replicating old formulas, not even derivative, and very shallow.

Boring

I know this is a walking simulator but there wasn't enough in the environment to make it interesting. You spend half the game going between your apartment and work. Later in the game there are a couple of larger locations but there's nothing really there to interact with. It's not really immersive at all. I also couldn't sympathise with any of the characters. The two main playable characters are just jerks and annoying. Richard Nolan is like a cut-price Tesco Gordon Freeman. I liked some of the puzzles but they were too easy. The game does try to have some big Themes and Messages about technology etc but it seemed unoriginal. Also... UNSKIPPABLE end credits?? They went for about 20 minutes.

not the right medium

The visuals and rendering engine, I have no troubles with - it's a design choice, and a good one for the mood it tries to set. But as a game, it's pretty awful. The movement controls are jerky, the interaction items feel forced, and slow. You click your way through a story, but in an uncomfortable way. I've got to say, and I am serious about this: most shooters have a better way of conveying what little story they have, than this "game". It might work in another medium, as a visual novel, maybe written story or animated movie - but sorry, as a game, this is a complete failure. Can't recommend. Still, a second star for story, originality, and visuals.

Somewhat interactive sci-fi novel

State of Mind is all about one thing: The Atmosphere. With its captivating story (despite a few plot holes), environments and themes reminiscent of Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, I Robot or Deus Ex and a great fitting soundtrack it creates a very engaging mood and it just makes you want to know what happens next. Also, with its mostly relaxed pace and simple mechanics (mostly you're just walking around and clicking active objects and NPCs to progress further) it was surprisingly relaxing experience (despite a few slightly disturbing themes and moments), nice when you feel like taking a break from action packed titles where you constantly fight for your survival or even "hardcore" adventure/puzzle games where you can get stuck for a long time, unable to progress any further. State of Mind may be a little too simplistic and it's true that it lacks a lot in the terms of actual gameplay - puzzles are not fun or challenging (some are outright annoying and tedious), there are only few decisions your characters can make along the way (and most of them don't matter anyway), you cannot die or make a mistake. It's very linear, with rather clunky controls, and it could do with some more polish to iron out slight technical issues (if you start a dialogue with someone without turning their way first, your character will happily have the conversation over their shoulder or even with their back to the NPC, sometimes NPCs talk to you as if you're standing right next to them even though they're actually across the room/area and the game also froze and stopped responding twice during my gameplay, forcing me to kill it through the task manager - which isn't too bad, considering I probably spent well over 10 hrs with it and the autosaves are quite frequent so I didn't have to replay a long segment - but it was still a little annoying). Without these shortcomings, it could have been AMAZING game. With them, it's "only" good. Still well worth around 10 € if you can get it on sale.

Ein wundervoller Film...

...ehm... Spiel, ich meinte Spiel! Spaß beiseite, die Story ist der Hammer und hat einige unvorhergesehe Wendungen. Diese sind nicht abwegig oder weit hergeholt, sondern wirklich nur unvorhergesehen. Das mag ich sehr. Die Grafik gefällt mir auch gut, ist aber Geschmacksache. Die Steuerung hingegen ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und gefällt mir nicht sonderlich. Ich habe das Spiel in wenigen Stunden durchgespielt und war von Anfang bis Ende davon gefesselt. Das einzige, was ich an diesem Spiel wirklich bemängeln möchte, sind die "Rätsel", sofern man sie so nennen möchte. Diese sind wirklich derart anspruchslos, dass sie eigentlich nur den Spielverlauf stören anstatt ihn zu bereichern. Im Ernst, gerade auf die "Mini-Games" hätte man meiner Meinung nach einfach verzichten können. Daedalic, jetzt mal ehrlich: ihr habt schon solche Perlen wie Deponia hervorgebracht und dann gebt ihr uns solche Rätsel? tzzz... Aber gut, der Rest des Spieles ist einfach Hammer und ich kann es nur empfehlen! Es wäre auch ein tolles Drehbuch für einen Film, btw.
