6.0Synced boasts superb PvE for a free-to-play title thanks to its compelling upgrade loop and an excellent mod system. Unfortunately, the disappointing battle royale component lets the overall package down.

Critic reviews
- GamesCreed9.0Overall, SYNCED has tons of hours worth of things to do, whether in solo or co-op; in PvP or PvE, there’s no shortage of content, lore, and modification you can’t revisit or do. Gather your teammates, find the companion that works for you, and dive head-first into hordes of enemies in SYNCED.
- Gaming Bolt7.0SYNCED leans into its sci-fi themes as players combat swarms of machine-like Nanos while deploying their own in combat. The gameplay is solid, offering refined gunplay and elements of strategy that make this co-op (and PvP) experience a lot of fun. The progression grind, however, suffers from a lack of incentivization and a narrow range of objectives within its loop. Whether those elements are updated or players stick around for the long haul remains to be seen in time.
- NoobFeed7.0Overall, SYNCED has a good chance to become something great for MMO lovers who enjoy living on the fast-paced side of life while getting a good story at the same time. With the mix of PvP and PvE, there’s never a dull moment to be had, and even less so with the nearly endless customization options. However, what SYNCED will become later on is still unknown since there’s already the ‘Pay To Look Good’ environment to worry about.
- NoobFeed4.0Synced: Off Planet suffers a lot from it's floaty gunplay, poor UI and poor dialogue which ultimately serves to detract from the overall experience and muddy the game to the point that it becomes more of a chore to play.
- God is a Geek8.0Synced combines simple storytelling with effective shooting, interesting powers and a fantastic, almost roguelite, upgrade system, and absolutely has the potential to dominate the live service space with regular updates and events. It may not necessarily do anything super new, but it presents an addictive, satisfying alternative to the wash of hero shooters and roguelikes out there.
