Even though it's not an RTS game like its older previous entries, Syndicate is noteworthy for its developer. Before the staff jumped over to MachineGames and its current iteration decided to milk Payday for all its worth, Starbreeze was the king of narrative-driven FPS games. This...wasn't their best title, but it was interesting and still holds that Starbreeze DNA that would carry on over to Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein. It's, sadly, currently delisted, but deserves to be preserved, even if it isn't the best game.
Everything about this game connects with me unlike any other. It has a vibe that's unique and it absorbes you. It has slow motion, it has hacking, you can shoot the gun sideways, papapapap, and switch to pum pum pum with a scope and shoot trough walls, every gun has an interesting secondary mode like that. The game incentivizes the player to combine every mechanic to do combos and these mechanics build on top of each other to great success. Hard mode is a must to get the best experience. To have this game on GOG is to give every people like me but couldn't, get the chance to play it.

I had hundreds of hours into this game because of the coop. My dad and I played through all of the missions on normal, hard, and even two of them on very hard. Lots of good memories and would love to play it with him again if it can be released here with the coop mode intact.

The game is literally unplayable because EA SecuROM implementation bricked the .exe and configurations. Also, Vsync enable caused MouseLag and many issues that is mentioned in PCGamingWiki. It's...bad! If GOG is gonna brought this game here, I hope they polished it up.

Forgotten gem, a unique cyberpunk fps with a cool hack gameplay. Very addictive, the cinematic sense is very cool too. Another game that deserves return to stores! They dont make like this anymore
It's an amazing game that I have played a lot on Xbox 360 with an intense gameplay and deep narrative and now, it has simply vanished from all the marketplaces... please, make it happen! :D

The game is ass, but the opening mission is extremely good and should be experienced by everyone. Sci-Fi would that they created, plus the imaginative weapons makes this worth playing. It's clear they ran out of budget by the end.

This is by far one of the greatest fps games I've played to date. I remember playing this back on the 360. Would love to see it get the spotlight again. This site has hope for the "delisted" titles.

It's not on Steam. Its graphics still look good, and the voice actors did a nice job. The game mechanics are fascinating, and some scenarios in this game are more than memorable (yes, I'm talking about the train). This game perfectly fits GOG in all aspects.
