    The art style [of Dead Synchronicity is] simply amazing; it conveys the tone of ‘The New World’ perfectly and gives a distinctive charm to every scene.

    Dead Synchronicity provides narrative and mechanics with no shame in showing how hard and raw humanity could be and how beautiful a graphical adventure is.

    Dead Synchronicity is back one year later, and keeps the original experience unaltered. A great adaptation to the pad controls and a good opportunity for the PS4 players to go inside this dystopian tale.

    Fictiorama surprise us through a postapocaliptic plot that leaves no place for hope. Nice visuals and interesting puzzles make the negative aspects of the game less noticeable, and point & click fans will discover that there is room for the genre in consoles.

    A surprisingly strong adventure game with a plot that will push you through some of its more ambiguous puzzles, perhaps the biggest downside to Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is that there needs to be more of it. This story ends just as it’s getting started, but while it persists, you’ll be pulled into its haunting landscape, where every person you encounter runs the risk of being reduced to a puddle of matter on the floor.

    If Dead Synchronicity sounds intriguing (it did to me when I first heard about it), playing the game should be done at your own risk. This game has no ending. The conclusion is thoroughly unsatisfying and because I have no idea what the future looks like for this game on the platform, I’m at a loss to offer much in the way of a recommendation

    In light of this incomplete content, the fact that it’s being be sold without this information up front feels disingenuous, and prevents me from being able to recommend it to anyone. Dead Synchronicity is dead on arrival.

    After all a game with such a tightly tied story, I still don't understand how they got to such an anticlimactic ending like this

Si bien reconozco que ofrece una premisa diferente y una historia compleja, los eternos diálogos terminan haciendo mella, al menos en mi caso, en una total indiferencia por muchos de los personajes, con los que es difícil conectar tras largos y largos minutos en los que únicamente son capaces de mirar por sus problemas. Compro que esto sea un mantra común en la mayoría de videojuegos, el protagonista como puente de los sucesos, pero en Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today resulta un total fastidio al tener que sumergirte en horas de diálogo sin un mínimo de acción. Como mayor punto positivo tenemos el trofeo platino, de los más fáciles de PlayStation 4. Expand

    Nice setting and graphics, interesting story - unfortunately feels uncomplete since game was designed with sequel in mind, so I finished itNice setting and graphics, interesting story - unfortunately feels uncomplete since game was designed with sequel in mind, so I finished it unsatisfied with how it ended. My biggest problem is with the puzzles, most of them are fine but sometimes there is a frustrating puzzle that will make you go in circles trying every inventory item on anything you find until you find a match, game does give some clues but some are just absurd. For few I had to open a walkthrough and when i saw the solution it wasn't like 'oh, that's right!' - it was more like 'how could i find that out?!' Expand

    Good graphic and apocalyptic setting, story is good except for the too abrupt ending. But compare to , this game dwarfs.
