60 of 186 · most liked firstVisual novel about the love between human and android. The story didn't really grasp me but the concept is nice, also the artworks were pretty unique.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would give my life to protect these two lesbians and I am a grown-ass man who is also gay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia has an incredible sense of what it's going for. The presentation is top-notch for a visual novel of this size. It's very easy to appreciate the work that went into the absolutely dizzying amount of artwork and how well it all ties together with the soundtrack to create a game that really screenshots well. It just...really doesn't do much beyond that. The story and writing are major problems with this game, chiefly because the translation is often low quality. At best, most…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had no issue staying for the vibes, the atmosphere is good and immersion rarely broken. I don't regret playing it. That being said, there are three major issues that prevent me from recommending Synergia. 1) Other than one topic occurring towards the beginning of the game, for a cyberpunk game this really does not explore any topic very deeply or with the necessary impact. I felt very little investment as a result. The same goes for the yuri aspects for those that are interested in that. 2)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad Game but great Visual Novel. Synergia tells a Story that is 30% Ghost in the Shell and 70% Blade Runner. If you like one of those, you will also like Synergia. The Story is great, the graphics are atmospheric and the music fits perfectly. So why is it a bad game? You have only three times the chance to make a decision, that will only change a few lines of the script. Only one set of those decisions lead to the good ending, every other combination leads to the bad one, but you need to go…

unlabelledView post →I'd recommend it for the first few hours only. After that, the story feels rushed: the rythm is very different from the beggining/mid game, the plot "thickens" but gets more confuse at the same time. I would have prefered the game to be longer but have more time to go at it's own pace. Also... I never felt the two protagonists really had much affection for each other, but that's probably because that is also rushed by the story lategame. Overall the ambiance and art were good, but it was a bit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia was such a disappointment. There are a lot of problems with Synergia, but there are two major things that ruin the story for me: Firstly, the premise feels so wasted. The concept of a police negotiator (Cila) for androids that go haywire, get hacked, and whatnot; while also having an android (Mara) that is extremely human-like; is so interesting. However, there’s no real conflict nor intrigue to make either interesting after the beginning. Cila’s negotiations are rarely shown and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a corny lеsbiаn visual novel set in a cyberpunk-ish world. It's not particularly bad, and not particularly good either. Just skippable.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →epic cyberpunk robot yuri
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VN for Blade Runner fans... This review will be a short one. If you like cyberpunk climate, if you loved original Blade Runner movie, if you're a fan of Data from Star Trek and concept of androids that became as close to humans, as possible - give yourself a favour and buy Synergia. Then, indulge into the sci-fi world with choices to be made. It's a beautiful story of two different beings, their connection and as a result, a convoluted plot to get out of the world full of hatred and lack of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad and boring. Where to even begin, the story is mid at best, most of the time it's just boring, and at times quite inconsistent. The characters for the most part are basically all terrible, ESPECIALLY Cila, she's the worst of them all and very unlikeable, literally the actual villain or acts like it in my opinion, technically a slaver too pointed out in the story, and definitely a murderer, and then the story trying to spin that as good, so insane, it was actually garbage. Speaking of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Premise at first seemed interesting... art style and music are top notch. Everything else falls off near the halfway mark, plot gets rushed and it becomes an information dump. Translations feel off as well. Overall decent but you can definitely go for better. 6/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Expected lewd yuri cyberpunk, got a cozy little mix of female Bladerunner, Ghost in the Shell, and a bit of Evangelion instead. It may not score high on originality for that reason but the strong presentation pulls it all together. The handdrawn art in anime style, the color coordination drenched in neon (including UI,) and the Vangelis-like synthwave are treat for your senses. The plot branch is simple and obvious and it's easy to achieve 100% which is always a welcome bonus. It makes for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly after finishing both endings and the epilogue all I can say is that I kind of hate it.The characters feel like they had little to no depth,the human ones at least,I feel like they were written poorly,but not just the characters,the entire story.The artstyle and basic story that brought me to this game got to the point where they ruined themselves,even the one time show kinda characters felt more complex in design and interesting than the lead ones.As an example the doctor that I would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't hate it, but I do hate the illusion of choice this game offers, some writing issues, and it being so hard to tell who is saying the dialog as both the main character and the person the main character is talking show up in the UI, with the only difference being the one talking lights up a little. Has made me confused a dozen plus times. As for it being Yuri ehhhhh so far to where I've got it's like Diet Yuri, it kinda exists
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this VN, but it was very meh. Pros: > sweet soundtrack > cool art and character designs > cyberpunk setting > yuri > the epilogue was interesting Cons: > The protag is so unlikeable and her love interest is so boring. > Plot was boring, a little confusing at times. It was a slog to get through. Legit took me like 5 sittings to suffer through. > Characters were paper-thin in dimensions. > You get like 3 choices to make throughout the entire VN that determine whether you get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia is stupid stylish, dripping with a ton of the cyberpunk vibes and aesthetics, but what really carries it is the fact that its just as interested in the ideas as the vibes. Like I can't believe a game where your lead is a corpo cop for a fascist state is more punk in its ideas than the game called Cyberpunk. Specific ideas like the way it plays with the way policing self selects for bad behavior. You get access to her records and history that shows time and time again her humane…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE YURI <3333 I LOVE LESBIANS <3333 great storytelling, fantastic art, holy moly ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: More cyberpunk than yuri From the moment I read about this VN on some website, months ago, I was very interested in it. Than, months later I rediscover the screenshot of the listicle, and I immediately hop on Steam and buy it. From the moment I read the synopsis, amplified by the ad video on the store page... I really wanted to love this VN. Its a cyberpunk yuri visual novel... and I love both cyberpunk, and especially yuri. And it looks... AESTHETIC. But unfortunately... as the VN…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Someone else wrote a review saying this is a cozy yuri visual novel. And I agree 100%. It does not do anything groundbreaking with the gameplay, or the story, but they are serviceable enough. The artwork is really pretty though. Also, it wears its influences proudly. Yes this is derivative of prior cyberpunk works, stories, tropes and characters. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It just doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. But hey, I'll take a lesbian knock-off Major Motoko Kusanagi any…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love gay people
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost everything about this game is perfect, from the quotes each day to the different characters and how they interact. Also I want Rat carnally.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cila is depressed, tired, and absolutely alone in her tiny apartment despite having an android housekeeper, and life feels like it’s on pause indefinitely until Cila’s android breaks down. Stressed at the thought of a further solitary life, Cila speaks to her friend Yoko who runs a higher-end shop specializing in different companion models, but Yoko offers something... different. A high-end 5th generation android named Mara, for free, with a request to not look too deep into its history and not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia left me wanting more. A lot more. Synergia is a beautiful but very short Visual Novel about a combat police unit falling in love with an android. The soundtrack is relaxing and nice, the artstyle is clean and tidy. Two endings based on 3 choices you make throughout the story. Getting both unlocks the "Epilogue", which reveals some details that were not answered originally. The only genuine issue this game has? Its length. Synergia is CRIMINALLY short, at just 4 hours to see and do…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia is a game that makes me feel very conflicted. On one hand I came away feeling interested and inspired, with new ideas to add to my own work, but on the other hand all the negative reviews are very right and the game has a lot of lost potential due to some poor writing. Firstly, the good! The game deals with a lesbian romance in a really nice way, and explores some of the discomfort that we gays can experience in a heteronormative society. The mc at multiple points is expected to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite the cool aesthetic and the music I couldn't get into this. The reason is the dialogue writing. The writer needs to look up the meaning of 'show, don't tell', as the dialogue is filled to the brim with unnecessary exposition. And to enable said exposition dumps, the characters change the subject constantly during their conversations. Sentences are often ended on a 'whatever', before changing to an entirely different subject. I think it was also translated into English from some other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm at a loss of words when it comes to describing how much I love this game, unique, truly unique, I wish there was more, looking forward to it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →finally a game that lets me bully computers in a distinctly homosexual way
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Liked: a story of two women rescuing each other from service to an oppressive regime, on an alien world long-since colonized (inside closed-off cities). Good art, great music, and very cyberpunk dysopian. A bit too poignant at times, seeing how we're living in one, but that's because oligarchs decided to use the genre as an instruction manual and threat-to-them assessment instead of the warning-to-not-do-that it is. Disliked: Second half of the story gets a little more infodumpy and more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the only thing i wanted from this game was more of it it made me happy, it made me sad it's good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story is a mix between bladerunner and ghost in the shell, so the framework for this game was good, however it's held back by what i belive to be either rushed or heavily shortened ideas. I really enjoy this particular setting, but in this case the game lacks any real personality. It's basically just og bladerunner but with lesbians. Ost is okay, just some basic synthwave with cyberpunk tone to it. Ambient noise should've been more present, cause it did great job in opening scene. Visuals were…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia Steam page mentions several features within the game that I absolutely didn't encounter whatsoever. "Nearly 100 unique backgrounds and CGs" I don't know where that 100 came from but there are not even 15 CGs total to be generous. "Choices that deeply affect the protagonist journey", choices are only three and just the last one matters in terms of different ending purposes. "20+ characters with interesting backgrounds and personalities", there are five relevant characters for the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I freaking love it. Cyberpunk lesbians fighting to survive in a horrible dystopic oppressive society. Even though it focuses more on the protagonist and her relation with Yoko we do get a glimpse into their horrible society. They are a lovely couple but I will say Mara's motivation to connect to Cila was a bit meh. Still my favorite cyberpunk lesbians. The art is beautiful. 10/10 The music is pretty good 8/10 the story could be better 7/10 The GFs are lovely but some questionable elements are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia, developed by Radi Art and published by Top Hat Studios, Inc., is a captivating visual novel set in a cyberpunk dystopia that explores themes of identity, love, and societal decay. The game introduces players to a richly imagined world drenched in neon lights and technological grit, where the lines between human and machine blur. The story centers on Cila, a hardened police officer with a troubled past and a sharp temper, whose life takes an unexpected turn when she is assigned a new…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →flat exposition, boring writing from an inexperienced writer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game deserved more recognition, it is well made and in my opinion, has it's own distinct vibe even if by the end it feels like there has been quite a bit of lore dumping. And as someone already mentioned in the review somewhere here that this is an VN suitable for some of SIGNALIS players, I agree myself.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Signalis vibes. Really liked it. In my personal opinion, it could have used a bit non PG-13 content, but that's just because it was always hinted at.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda like "I, robot" written in "Signalis" (in terms of the human vs. android story and anime yuri stuff). But with easier gameplay and a better ending, this game gives a way satisfying vibe.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Synergia is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely perfect. One of my favourite VNs of all time without a single doubt, if not possibly the best. My only complaint is that there isn't any more with these characters - the topics it crosses, the way it goes over them, and the writing alone is absolutely beautiful; though the art is absolutely brilliant as well. I kind of wish there was more chance to branch out into avenues of your choosing, such as going with certain characters such as Darla for example more intently as they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well written, beautifully illustrated, with an excellent soundtrack. 10/10 would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've obtained quite a few games from various kinds of bundles, and I imagine that this was one of them since I cannot remember paying money for this one. And having played through it, I feel like that was the right choice. The story and writing aren't really that good. I couldn't really get into the story and the characters, who don't really feel like actual people. I guess the androids get a pass for that, but the people definitely don't. You are given a couple of choices during the story,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The romance in this VN felt forced and rushed. The MC hated people for no reason and also liked them for no reason. I didn't feel anything except for boredom. At least the OST and the atmosphere were on point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neanderthal to human being Evolution, kill the gene Biology is superficial Intelligence is artificial Submit Submit Submit
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You make a grand total of three inputs across your entire playthrough. The central love story is between a 29-year old and a girl who both looks and acts half that (rounded down) at best. Might've been better as a static story, but it's not particularly fun as a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very nice aesthetic, a bit funky at times though - i almost thought it was AI a couple of times. otherwise, it was pretty good, from character design to backgrounds. all being done by one person is quite impressive. still, big fan of some character designs, like yoko. i liked that even the minor characters still have a good design that showed a lot of care and made them feel realer. unfortunately, the avatars are pretty low quality. they look muddy and kind of messed up overall, like bad…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a literal masterpiece and I believe more people should know about this game. Though the love story is progressing quite fast, the whole plot is very thrilling and moving. Loved this and replayed a couple of times!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Signalis but if I wasn't crying at the end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not for everybody. It's a visual novel which reminds me of the old days -- but with excellent modern improvements. The style is outstanding. Music is beautiful, visuals are great. If you don't like the color red, this isn't the visual novel for you. It's got story, think Asimov. It's got a lot of things going on but it doesn't tell you everything. There is a bit of confusion here and there, but it's written well enough to understand. The main character is in a bit of a weird situation and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The music, visuals, and story are all fantastic (except the sudden plot/exposition dump that just jumpscares you near the end of the game, that kinda felt forced). Overall a fantastic visual novel! Also, this game loves to do quotes, and all I learned from those is that Philip K. ♥♥♥♥ needs a hug. (Ignore the censor, that is the actual name)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →definitely worth checking out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun vn! good for the price. i like the story and the setting. only issue imo is it does come off too much as man writing women at some points. i think it could be also longer to better set up the romance but i enjoyed it a lot! nice art too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to see more from this group. I like the world, and I really liked our main two characters, but I felt the story wanted to be longer to build up and fill in more gaps, and instead it rushed through a little bit. I don't even need the choices, I'd much prefer that effort be spent on spending more time in the day-to-day of the world, just hanging out and establishing characters a little more solidly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review is specially made for those who like to get all the achievements in games. Some gameplay spoilers ahead. Description: Synergia is an Anime Visual Novel set in a cyberpunk universe. The backgrounds are mostly static, there is a lot of lore and story to read and just a few interactable elements. The story seems to be inspired by classics of the genre like Blade Runner, but it has its original nuances and its own lore and worldbuilding. Overall, I think it’s well written and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One hell of a VN. My first one i ever sat through and enjoyed. I couldn't recommend it enough! even the choice you made in it, made a big impact and change up the story. both endings were amazing and were about a hour long and then a epilogue that added another 45-1 hour to the game. I love it and i wish there was more. I need to know what happens after the good ending!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YURIII :steamhappy: deadass though i think about this game at least once a month
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's not anything crazy but i don't think it's trying to or needs to be, it's just a pretty visual novel that explores a relationship on a broken world. worst thing about it is that decision-making holds little to no weight in the end, the only choice that actually matters is the last one, which just decides which ending you're gonna get and that's it. i think it would be better if we either got more choices that actually affect the plot or if the choices were ditched entirely and cila just…
