Obsolete First Entry in Franchise
In Syndicate, you control a team of operatives in a near future society assigned to complete a variety of missions. From the looks of it, Syndicate was ahead of its time in terms of ambition but somewhat constrained by the technology of the time. In my view, the game belongs more in a museum than on my hard drive, and I cannot recommend playing it in 2024 and beyond. Gameplay: Prior to missions, you assemble and equip your team from a roster of operatives. This is not unlike something we would later see in the first Ghost Recon game. The missions take place in real-time. Given the clunky interface, I might have been more inclined to play Syndicate, if the missions were turn-based, such as X-COM. Characters/Customization: The operatives have a name, some skills, and equipment, and that's about it. Story/Atmosphere: Probably the best part about my experience with Syndicate Plus was the opening cutscene which in spite of technical limitations managed to establish the mood and atmosphere using pixelated graphics. Graphics/Sound: Technically, graphics, sound, gameplay, etc. this version of Syndicate released in 1996 seems pretty rough and badly outdated. If the game were remastered (or better yet, remade) and modernized, I would take a second look... and I believe there are newer versions of the franchise out there, even in my backlog. Replay Value: I played less than 30 minutes, frustrated by the interface and unwilling to go out of my way to learn the proper mechanics for leading my squad on missions. Overall Score: 4/10. I will give some brownie points to Syndicate for how it inspired many games that came after it. Attempted to play in 2023-2024.
