Sovereign Syndicate

This game get thumbs up. I would give it a 7/10. Definitely fun to play through, even a second time if you missed out some side quests or use some different character traits. Points subtracted for: - the soundtrack is can get boring to annoying after a few hours play. - the game has a tendency to give you quests but not always enough hints to complete them. - limited locations and characters to interact with. - some parts of the map locations appear unfinished, dead ends that you cannot interact with, same with some NPC - some interactions/conversations are only possible in certain chapters and it is not always obvious that you are about to finish a chapter with your action. This leads to tasks you cannot complete. - the longer you play the more you miss the possibility to quick travel between buildings, not just streets. - the one voice in the game is the song one of the characters sings - and it is definitely not a well written song and not sung by a professional - or intentionally off. - the ending sucks. Probably aiming for a sequel. - most of the city you cannot properly interact with, like vehicles parked, statues and drawings. You get to collect gears, fans, gin bottles as a task, but no meaning behind that. - some NPCs are glued to the map, always hanging out at the same scene. It destroys immersion.

An interesting story and setting, a fair amount of side content/ interaction to definetely justify it

A great story, managed to do most things, enough that I'm satisfied with my time. Failed one side quest due to unfortunate wording. One complaint I'd have against it is the chapter system making it so that, while you generally have the same maps to go around, you basically have to go through the same places over and over again because you never know what places have changed for that specific chapter. A lot of the times I expected a character to have a new quest for me that I could miss by not talking to them at a specific day, though I am mixed to report was not the case. Meant I spent a lot of time running around checking every NPC but getting default dialogue as well. There's also no retrying checks like in Disco Elysium, if you fail that is it, though the consequences aren't usually that bad and half the time you still get what you want anyway, just maybe with a slight penalty. I'll also say of the three stories you go through, one of them ended weaker than the other two when all converged, which was a little disappointing, though that might be partially due to some decisions I made. All in all, an enjoyable Disco Elysium inspired game that does its own thing.

its an OK game if you buy it on sale.
