Retro Revival, Part #29 - Syndicate (2012, GOG.COM)

The Starbreeze remake doesn't rub me the right way so far, but ive played quite a bit of "E.Y.E. Divine cybermancy" myself with a friend and had a blast, the atmosphere is great and is brutal with how it deals with the violence and combat, tearing people apart with psychic powers ect, which I think suits a gloomy cyber future world to the bone.

It does have its fair share of bugs and niggles, not to mention the hilariously bad "story", but who played Syndicate for story? They are both great fun.

@bfox2k EYE is charming enough for such a low budget effort, but too obtuse, poorly structured and underproduced to be considered "good" in my opinion. Especially if as a developer you're going down the modern 3D FPS route, you really need the production values and expertise of a big mainstream studio )which is one reason why Starbreeze´s take on the whole co-op cyber agent theme seems promising so far).

@lightchronoLC Yes, Syndicate Wars was the belated (and not very memorable) sequel to the original Syndicate.
