Sym.BIOS: Torn Asunder Reviews

SBTA is visual novel I bought thinking I could play it with one hand. At this point, most of you know what kind of visual novel usually are in my library. I must admit, I didn't find what I've searched for initially, there is sex in this game, but not buga-buga sex. As a matter of fact, it is only a line about a threesome that made me laugh so hard the I continued and didn't ask for a refund. So I started playing it on my steam deck (it works fine) and I discovered that it took the place of my daily reading. And this really means what it means: the writing is that good! The main plot is well built (better that many movies), the characters compensate the lack of huge boobs with other kind of character development, and the end... My god it is so well made. I won't say more than it is very satisfying! So is it the game I thought it would be? No far from it. But it is a great game that made me put my other hand on my desk and read!

amazing artwork with great details, and sumptuous music, immersive and atmospheric. a great deal of thought was paid to the story and the depth of the characters and it shows. the dialogues are quirky and feel "real", helping to lean into the dialogues and personalities of the protagonists. the soundtrack is out of this world on its own also. definitely recommended, a high quality offering.

Loved it, really good story and writings. The start is a bit slow but story really hooks you when the main events begin. Atmospheric OST definitely worth it too. Strongly recommended for people liking SF visual novel with a complex and twisted story.

A visual novel with mechas! And neat graphics! And a great soundtrack... I enjoyed the story, the characters (some are very special), the hard decisions to make... The game is super polished, I do recommend if you like sci-fi like me :)

I don't usually play visual novels, but this time was an exception and so far there is no disappointment. The artwork is beautiful, I love the landscapes and character design!!! And the story is wonderful and so full of creativity, the future is interesting, the dialogues are interesting, colourful and some very funny, the characters have strong and versatile personnalities, I love them, especially the duo Chrys and Joa!!! The music is enchanting, escpecially the rearrangement of the Tosca opera. Congratulations to the whole team, you can be proud of the result! I can't wait to finish the game!

No exotic gameplay here, but the setting and characters have been written with care, making the story an interresting one to follow. It's also nice to see that the artistic direction did not default to (try to) replicate an "anime" style and went instead in its own direction
