Some of life’s greatest things are combinations. Fish and chips, cookies and cream, Shrek and Donkey, and now telekinesis and guns. Synapse puts the power into your hands, shoving you into a combat mindscape with an arsenal of guns in your right hand and the ability to move objects with your mind in your left. It’s one of the slickest and most tactile PSVR2 experiences to date.
Arriving on an island belonging to Colonel Conrad, a former military man gone rogue, you’re aiming to track down information on an impending bioterrorist attack. You’re part of the off-the-books Bureau V, which has history with the colonel. Unfortunately, locked in a coma and plugged into a mind machine, he’s not talking. Fortunately, that means you can jack into the device and fight through his military (and militarised) mind to get the answers you need.
