“Synthetik is an absolute gem for anyone seeking an intense and strategic gameplay experience.”
“The gameplay loop is simple but mastering the game and trying to beat your best run is what will keep you playing.”
“The mechanics are great, the possibilities with the different characters and classes will keep you interested, and your desire to utterly dominate the game will keep you engrossed for hours.”
“The reload mechanics and overall controls are messy, and not too intuitive for such an intense game.”
“The game also does a terrible job at explaining things, from the main menu to important gameplay mechanics, so be prepared to look at forums or wikis, or to ask questions on the global chat in-game and hope for the best, since misinterpreting or not knowing something can lead to a restart.”
“The gameplay is solid, but has visual and audio clarity problems.”
