Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a detailed boxing simulation may find the described focus on robot matchups and breakaway pieces too narrow.

- Players who do not use a controller may find the recommended control setup a poor fit.
Our take on Connectome:Pain Control
Players seeking a clearly explained story may hit a wall at the premise: it introduces a change in the virtual world but does not explain what that change is. The match system also asks players to choose robots by ratings, physique, and skill, so those looking for boxing without fighter selection may bounce off that step.
What is Connectome:Pain Control?
Connectome:Pain Control is a robot boxing game with 100 playable robots.
Matches take place across more than 70 dynamic tracks, with distinct artwork for the robots. Each robot is built from many pieces, which can break away during punches. Ratings, physique, and skill affect match outcomes, so selecting a robot to suit an opponent is part of play. The game also features AI opponents. Its setting imagines a future where human brains have been converted into artificial neuron clusters and connected to a virtual world. After the system has operated for a long time, an unspecified change begins. A controller is highly recommended.
