Synergy’s art style is so Moebius-inspired that I half-expected a pastel dune worm to eat my city.
Story

30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story element is also strong, with a decent narrative and plenty of goals to reach, one after another, to progress through the campaign.

The overall presentation is complemented by a calm, atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the relaxed pacing, making the experience feel more contemplative than intense.

The thing about Synergy is that it's one of the few games where I feel like the difficulty in figuring out how everything works doesn't leave me feeling disappointed in myself because I know I'm doing the best I can and I'm slowly picking up the tricks and knowledge to play smarter - all within the same play-through.
