State of Mind Reviews
An interesting but also dystopian tale that gives us the chance to experience a sordid future. A narrative experience with thriller style and great script twists.

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”

The fact I'm having to go back to Fahrenheit on the Xbox as a reference point for State of Mind shows what an under-represented category the story driven adventure genre has become. I hope that changes in the coming years because State of Mind tells a really interesting tale with teriffically multi-dimensional characters only let down by some unwillingness to give the player control.
State of Mind tells a captivating story of two men who find themselves wrapped up in a plot that touches on questioning life itself.
Disappointing as this lack of follow-up may be, State of Mind still delivers a stellar sci-fi experience that, while comparable to other entries in the genre, has a character all its own. Given the game's complex topics, don't expect to walk away feeling like all is well with the world, but you'll be more than glad you plugged in.
Daedalic's fixation with transhumanism takes State of Mind and puts it in a similar bracket as many of its counterparts that have created an advanced tech-infused world.
State of Mind's setting and story, once they get going, do a lot to really sell the game. Some fun puzzles and a fantastic art style help too. This is a world I want to spend more time in.
State of Mind is an interesting story in modern science fiction genre with well-written characters, stylish graphics and a powerful brain-blowing ending.

State of Mind is a commendably well-presented, if challenge-light effort that dives head first into its deep and winding subject matter with nary a look over its polygonal shoulder. A mature adventure then that proves itself worthy of the descriptor.
Although the gameplay does not have much to offer and the longevity is very limited, it is practically impossible not to love this dynamic adventure of Daedalic Entertainmen: thanks to its own style, State of Mind is able to tell a story that is worth living.

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.
State of Mind is a thrilling mystery that knows how to keep its audience engaged.
State of Mind is an engrossing sci-fi thriller with a narrative so impressive that it often feels like a great season of a sci-fi tv show more than it does a video game
Cyber punk with a Money for nothing visual flair.
State of Mind explores transhumanism, fiction becoming reality, and the separation between the two. It looks at what it means to fragmented, and not whole, which really is the essence of humanity. It also explores how the strive for perfection through technology, may truly be the downfall of what it means to be human. The game is story-rich and cinematic, with layers upon layers of truth to uncover and figure out how it all fits together. It kept me glued to my screen like it was a TV show I was binging. Like Blade Runner, it left me reeling with questions and conspiracies as only a thrilling adventure that examines what it means to be human can do.
