State of Mind Reviews
State of Mind is a thrilling mystery that knows how to keep its audience engaged.
State of Mind offers a very good, "hard" sci-fi tale that deals with the theme of futurism, and, most importantly, consciousness. Some flaws do exist, like the many dull plot sections, and the simplistic, unimpressive puzzle-solving, but, as a whole, this will please most fans of narrative-driven adventure titles.
Another adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment. But this time not very adequate, even with absorbing theme.

You're better off sticking to reality and avoiding this confused and cliched state of mind.
State of Mind is an interesting story in modern science fiction genre with well-written characters, stylish graphics and a powerful brain-blowing ending.

Cyber punk with a Money for nothing visual flair.
State of Mind boasts an interesting and compelling plot, as well as a gem of an art style and multiple characters to choose from. However, it also exhibits some visible flaws, such as a rather slow-paced, predictable plot and puzzles which are all too linear. Overall, this is a good effort but which requires some improvement if it does not want to demotivate its players too early on.

State of Mind has nothing special to offer for Sci-Fi fans and even arcade gamers, and besides that, the gameplay is slow and the potentially solid story isn't developed well enough. But it still is a step forward for Daedalic Entertainment who did a great job in designing a futuristc Berlin 30 years from now.

With its odd and yet striking visual style, State of Mind presents an intriguing world, in the precipice of a revolution. Following the exploits of a deeply flawed and complex character, the journey through the streets of Berlin is a fruitful one that I'm sure to remember. However, a myriad of pacing issues as well as a lack of interesting gameplay elements makes it very unlikely that I'll be visiting the year of 2048 anytime soon. Perhaps we'll see in thirty years.
State of Mind is a game that had potential, but in the end, it offered only a decent experience and nothing more. Good adventure game, but not groundbreaking.

Like a sitcom with the occasional bad episode, instead of keenly anticipating what I'll uncover next in the story, I began to just long for the finale.
With a bit of slimming down and improvements in sound and movement, State of Mind could have been something really special. Instead, we have a rare case of a game that doesn’t live up to the promise of its art style, and that’s a real shame.
Daedalic nos da su obra más adulta y profunda, con un cuidado guión que invita a la reflexión de hacia dónde se dirige el ser humano y de lo que las personas estamos dispuestos a pagar por la “evolución”

I can appreciate strong narratives that are designed to tell a story, but if you’re going to go that route you’d better be sure it’s something well worth the ride. Unfortunately, for all of its visual flair and promise you start with the ultimate ride simply doesn’t deliver consistently enough to make it much fun along the way. If you’re looking for a slow-paced reflection on the future, with a little intrigue and perhaps some cliche thrown in, it may well suit you. For everyone else you’d probably be better off enjoying the Blade Runner movies and saving yourself a few hours.
State of Mind explores a future in which the world is in complete disarray and asks some difficult questions, but ultimately buckles under the weight of its own flaws.
State of Mind has some great ideas, but it struggles to tie them together.
**You want to read Crime and Punishment? I have a suggestion: read The Tell-Tale Heart. There. I saved you a hundred hours.
Despite the slow start and uninteresting storyline, the game picks up as you begin to become more invested with the characters and their lives. The story ends up being told perfectly through a mechanically solid and visually impressive third person adventure game. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to unwind with a very good narrative adventure.
It's an intriguing cyberpunk story – well, the first half of it. Then it becomes a mess of clichés.

Fans of the story-driven adventure game will likely find parallels with previous successes like Life is Strange and SOMA, though State of Mind's reductive puzzles and constant tone fail to match the level of personality in either. This said, the developers are committed to exploring transhumanism in relation to very pertinent contemporary concerns, and ensure there's enough sci-fi fluff to distract from the simplistic gameplay structure.
