Our review of Syndicate is currently in progress. While I've completed the single-player campaign, I've yet to spend an adequate amount of time with the multiplayer to weigh in. We'll update this review to cover multiplayer and add a score later today. Because of issues with (you guessed it) Origin, we haven't been able to play today. Review update will come ASAP. Hypothetically, I didn't mind the reinvention of Syndicate as a first-person shooter. Provided that it recaptured that dystopian, corporate-controlled future Earth, then this new version of the franchise could find a place alongside its real-time tactical peers. Unfortunately that future was not to be, and in the bleak dystopia in which we now find ourselves Starbreeze's new Syndicate is a rather generic shooter that's spent too much time in front of the mirror working on its looks, and not enough on a worthwhile story that could've pulled me back into the Syndicate universe. Twisting in the Wind The first hour or so of Syndicate gave me hope, thanks to its brutal and unapologetic violence that fit right in with the mood of the established universe.
Recreating a classic game in a new genre runs an overwhelming risk of failure. Not only must the product satiate fans of the original experience, the new game also needs to stand on its own with successful design choices and innovation. Oftentimes the redo reflects the exact standards and formulas of its new genre rather than marching boldly into new territory. Syndicate falls into this trap, telling a boring tale of swapping allegiances amidst flurries of gunfire. Yet it escapes the "just another shooter" label by executing an entertaining co-op mode, fun, manipulative gameplay, and good scoring ideas -- it just doesn't take them far enough to be great. Giant corporations rule the world in Syndicate. Each employs deadly agents to fight over turf and technology. In this horrifying future, every citizen has a chip implanted in their head which the manufacturer can access. Eurocorp, the company employing Syndicate's protagonists, created top tier technology in the form of DART 6, a chip so powerful it allows its owner to slow down time using augmented vision and break into other's chips. This shooter draws inspiration and a few details from its 1993 PC origins, but sets itself up as a completely new experience.
