Dammit why there's not any more of this?

I expected a different kind of story. The trailer really misguides you about what the game would be. Still, the tradoff is fine by me as this story is enticing. I like the wai it is served. We're given clues and are able to inspect those clues at our leisure. One thread of evbents leads to another and everything gets tangled into a huge knot of mess. And it is your job to untangle it. What I don't like in this story is that it explores too many themes thus not concentrating on one and furthering it to completion. Storytelling doesn't feel continuous at times and characters spit their lines at each other not concerned with overall mood. It happends a lot towards the end. The other gripe i have is purely technical. I honectly don't like the way camera is set (especially when controlling a flying drone). I also don't like that close to the and of the game we're not seeking for evidence in a non-linear facion, but are set on a straigt path and only thing that slows our move forward is daunting minigames. Still 5/5. Why? It (the game) kept me excited the whole time.

Fantastic Story

State of Mind has a very good story; good graphics; a great world and great characters. It’s puzzles are where it falls short. Luckily the majority of the puzzles aren’t bad or even difficult. It has 2 puzzles I disliked but they weren’t difficult so much as they were tedious. The story as mentioned was one of the strong points as you try to piece together your past in order to find your family. One thing I will say is few games have made me dislike the main character as much of State of Mind made me dislike Richard Nolan. I have played as characters that cut old ladies throats for a few coins and I found more I liked about them then I did Richard. I’m not sure if this was intentional or not, if it was then bravo I say. He was just a child like man who spends more time looking for his family then he asks why he is doing it or if he even deserves them. He treats his friends poorly; never accepts blame; is just an all around dbag. The only times he showed a little humility or kindness was the few times I was allowed to choose a dialogue choice that gave that to him. Again, if intentional then that is well done. The dialogue is well done and the choices at least give me the feeling of having decent control over most of the story. The characters were interesting and made me want to get to know them better. Lydia was not only my favourite but had a very memorable scene where you take control of her as a VR cam-girl for a scene. It was genuinely creepy like few other scenes in games. The graphics has a great style to them that was like a mishmash of cell shaded graphics and realism. The people and clothing were mainly cell shaded but the world detail was mainly in a realistic style and it made for an interesting blend. The world detail was very good as homes felt lived in and the city felt alive usually. The voice acting was also well done.

Overlooked and underrated

Gameplay wise it doesn't do much, think Detroit: Become Human without quicktime events. World and story wise I had a great time. I personally like the stylized graphics. Definitely get it if you like Science Fiction stories like Detroit: Become Human!

Flawed

This is a hybrid of a walking simulator and a movie, with minimum amount of gameplay. The good points of the game are its setting. The world is interesting. Unfortunately the writing failed to deliver the maximum possible impact for me, and while the game started out interesting, the longer it went on, the more I felt like everything is falling apart. At the end I was looking at ton of plot holes, some event turns felt forced and overly contrived and so on. The ending felt forced. It didn't help that the protagonist is one of the least likable characters I ever seen in a videogame. Gameplay component in this game is incredibly weak, and while developers tried to add minigames and tasks, they have very low difficulty and are not interesting. Additionally, protagonist walks incredibly slowly, and there's no way to run. This makes moving between locations very tedious. The developers chose polygonal visuals as stylistic (not low poly, but polygonal. Think "Orwell" for exxample). Unfortunately, they do not look that great. If you're looking to buy this one, expect a movie with walking sequences occasional "puzzle", where puzzles will be always easy and not particularly interesting. The writing probably has its fans, but could've been better.

Schöne Geschichte, tolles Setting

Gespielt unter Ubuntu Linux 19.10 mit einem XBox One Gamepad. Hat technisch problemlos funktioniert. Wie schon in vielen Reviews angemerkt, ist das Gameplay nicht die Stärke von State of Mind. Dazu sind die vereinzelt auftauchenden Minigames zu anspruchslos, zu repetitiv und daher schlicht langweilig und nicht der Rede wert. Zum Glück machen die Minigames nur einen kleinen Teil dieses Spiels aus. Auch sonst ist State of Mind leider sehr linear und man rennt von einem Ort zum anderen oder von einem Objekt zum nächsten, um die Geschichte weiter voran zu treiben. Die Geschichte ist aber auch die Hauptstärke von State of Mind. Während die ersten ein zwei Stunden noch relativ schleppend verlaufen, entfesselt die Story danach ihren Sog und man möchte wissen, wie es mit den Charakteren weiter geht. Auf ihrem Weg schneiden die Protagonisten mehrere gesellschaftsrelevante Themen an, die das Cyberpunk Genre so passend zu bieten hat. Manche davon ausführlicher und als Teil der zentralen Geschichte, manche nur am Rande. Die Dialoge, die man teilweise in ihrem Verlauf beeinflussen kann, sind ebenfalls gelungen. Im Ganzen gaukelt einem das Spiel manchmal vor, Einfluss auf die Dialoge und die Handlung nehmen zu können. Doch wirklich entscheidend eingreifen kann man nur ganz am Ende. Nachdem die Personen anfangs an immer denselben Plätzen auf- und ablaufen gibt es im Verlauf des Spiels dann doch noch ein paar Orte die optisch interessant sind und zu einer dichteren Zukunftsatmosphäre beitragen. Auch wenn dies nicht auf dem Level von AAA-Titeln realisiert werden kann, denn Orte sind - kaum anderes als der lineare Storyfaden - nicht ausschweifend entdeckbar. Den Polygonlook mochte ich von Anfang an, auch wenn andere Kritiken daran keinen Gefallen finden. Er passt für mich zum Szenario. An dieser Stelle sei noch erwähnt, dass das Spiel nicht auf ein statisches HUD/ eine Statusbar oder Karte setzt. Daher sollte auch ein mehrstündiger Spielgenuss mit einem OLED Monitor möglich sein.
