Finally finished after playing intermittently over 5(?) years. I bought bc I played Syndicate as a kid but while SR shares a lot in terms of appearance and game mechanics, it feels like a very different game. It takes a while (at least it did for me) to get into hoiw to interact with the world and understanding what the different classes of operators do. The new game mechanics of having operators being different classes with different abilities increases the depth of interacting with the world in terms of puzzle solving but at the same times decreases the mayhem and destruction that was mostly guaranteed in the old Syndicate games. It moves the focus from dark dystopian future world to world build to be interacted with 4 classes of operators. However, SR is it's own game and on its own terms it's certainly a good experience.
