COG: It hurts to condemn a game that seems to be such a labor of love, but the strategy and gameplay in Symmetry fail to deliver.
SYMMETRY is a survival management game set in a retro-futuristic, sci-fi universe already available on Steam (PC and MAC), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is going to release on Nintendo Switch on March 19th.
Ryan Crocker from GameGrin writes, "At their core, survival games are all about having to make a series of grim, ethically dubious decisions. It's calculated pragmatism taken to the extreme. Should I throw Mabel the arthritic pensioner down a well because she's too frail for manual labour and eats all the baked beans? Or should I indulge her interminable anecdotes and let her knit me a cardigan out of toilet paper in the hope she'll boost morale by dispensing sage advice? (Verdict: She's a worthless drain on resources and farts all day long. RIP Mabel.) Sleepless Clinic's Symmetry is awash in these sorts of conundrums, and despite moments of spirit-crushing hopelessness, white-knuckle frustration and a few pacing issues, it all comes together rather nicely. And when I say nicely, I mean under a suffocating pall of suicidal despair."
XBA says: A beautiful bland world.
