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.
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.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition BundleGrand Theft Auto V takes place five years after Grand Theft Auto IV and is now set in Los Santos. It centers around three protagonists: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. New to the series is that the player can switch between the three characters on the fly. They each have different missions, lives, and personalities. They also often come together, especially for heists, a complex type of mission where a large operation needs to be planned and executed by determining a strategy and hiring additional henchmen. As with previous games in the series, the gameplay involves gunfights and takes place in a sprawling, open-world city where players get around by acquiring transport (cars, boats, helicopters, etc) through less than legal means. Players can roam the game world, complete story missions, and partake in various illegal activities, including shooting civilians, robbing people, destruction of cars, and the titular act of car theft. These lead to a wanted rating of up to five stars, sending in a police force in pursuit. Continuing to resist the police will also increase it. The wanted status is lost by getting out of sight or by spraying the car.Open world Action
