Incorporate My Syndicate and I'll Conglomorate Your Zaibatsu

I turned on the Quick Look of Syndicate expecting a thoroughly middling “post-modern” FPS with a black-and-gold aesthetic ripped straight from the re-launched Deus Ex ; watching it only for a personal… Read more

Fantastic Co-op manages to save Syndicate from mediocrity

In this age of multi-million dollar shooters and inflated development budgets, it’s impossible to imagine a reboot of a 90’s classic strategy game not undergoing some serious changes to appeal to the… Read more

Decent at best.

Syndicate is nothing more than a decent First Person Shooter. Some elements were added to keep it fresh like hacking and powers, but it doesn't change how basic combat works. Co-op is fine I guess, bu… Read more
