    This is a very dull FPS and an extremely bad port from the consoles. As a PC gamer, I am sick of buyinig games without standard options for the PC -- like FOV, key bindings, etc. It's just very sloppy, but, then again, Electronic Arts is involved so enough said.

    As it is, the game is unplayable without a xbox 360 controller, as the game keep asking to press some keys without telling which one it is on the keyboard.

    The game is just terrible and while the game itself is an awful dumbed down generic FPS it doesn't get any better that it is a straight console port. Be prepared for super low FoV, tons and tons of bloom and bad options for the PC.

    Although I doubt the game would be any better if played on a console, it is as I said early a totally generic FPS relying on an over hyped gimmick called the dart system. This game brings nothing new to the table and to be honest as much as I hate the recent CoD games you are better off playing any of them because at least they don't true to act all smug about how awesome their games are.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME UNLESS YOU LIKE THROWING AWAY MONEY

    PS it totally butchers the syndicate IP, need to be said even though the game wouldn't be able to stand on it's own legs anyway    … Expand

    I don't know how to exactly summarize my impressions of this game but I'll try anyway. The big letdown is the story, the plot and dialogues. I could come up with more bad ass sentences, just believe me, than authors of this game did. The plot is laughable but don't take this the wrong way, I'm a fan of sci-fi, I like any futuristic plot device that features guns, but this plot in SyndicateI don't know how to exactly summarize my impressions of this game but I'll try anyway.

It's a big joke, if you want a good story then don't buy this game. Action alone is not that bad, but you know every other AAA game does it better and with a good job on a story side of things.… Expand

    Idee interessanti, ma la fusione di meccaniche fps con poteri da rpg o arpg non funziona completamente.
    Farragginoso e non divertente come gameplay: alla fine la cosa più semplice è uccidere tutti i nemici con l'attacco instakill del corpo a corpo

    An ok campaign with potentially great co-op marred by uninspired design, poor storytelling and glitches. [June 2012, p.76]

    When it's not going out of its way to be terrible, Syndicate is simply mediocre. [May 2012, p.54]

    Neither a disappointment nor euphoria – it's Syndicate, excellent multiplayer action game. Unfortunately, the whole single-player campaign feels like a five-hour tutorial. [March 2012]
