Synapse is one of the first games to showcase what VR on a home console can be. It's fast-paced, inventive, and visually stunning. Sadly, it's not much more than that, as the repetitive gameplay can't keep up with the technical splendor. It's fine, but not the system-seller the PSVR2 needs right now.

Synapse is a VR action game that offers an intriguing concept and a story that combines Heart of Darkness with Inception. The result is not bad, but it doesn't achieve the promised revolution in the genre. The game lags primarily in the area of variability, which is crucial for roguelite games.
Synapse is a superb shooter that uses the PSVR2s capabilities to the fullest extent possible.
With its vibrant splashes of colour and excellent use of eye tracking in the management of telekinesis, Synapse stands out as one of the productions that make the most of the potential and peculiar features of PlayStation VR 2.
Combining smooth gunplay and god-like telekinetic abilities, Synapse is a stylish roguelite shooter that more than deserves to be labelled as a PSVR 2 must-buy.
