Inside of buildings was quite confusing, cause you couldn’t see inside, but some targets/items were totally in there. Syndicate Wars was similar about it + destructible buildings. Both were really great my hands down favorite Bullfrog game.

I’ve tried finding similar game, the remake was an FPP, heard it was ok. And an indie game called Satelite rain was the supposed spiritual successor, never got to play it. Any recommendations?

I recently started replaying Syndicate again as well, but I do think the game has some issues.

- Gameplay is very simple, not much strategy involved.

- Missions are pretty much all the same, very little variety.

- Perhaps because I am older now, I know to quickly research to become powerful.

- Enemy AI seems non-existent.

I first bought chest armor for my cyborgs, which increases survivability a lot. Afterwards heart upgrades, which I think helps health recover quickly. Also got mini-guns by level 6 or so. Makes it very easy to deal with enemies.

With that said, still a fun game, but when I was younger I had a bit of rose tinted glasses about the game I think.

I've been replaying the original Syndicate recently, and agree with all of your points. I wasn't very good at it either when I was playing it originally, and I think our home PC struggled, so completing the game was always a minor itch to scratch.

Syndicate was exceptional & yes, those persuadetrons were incredible. I recall having swarms of people following me around & doing my bidding.

Thank you for this comment, this is why I read HN.
