What is damage model like? Is it very lethal like in Syndicate 1?

You point at the enemy and just shoot it :P Can't really tell you more. I didn't see any damage zones, crippling mechanics etc. You can do a stealth headshot that instantly kills human enemies.

I don't know if it resembles Syndicate much at all to be honest - it's more like Commandos.

In Syndicate you had direct control of your agents - you could control where they shoot etc - a bit like Cannon Fodder.

Later levels with the miniguns could kill you in seconds. (especially American Revolt)


This is more like an RTS with your agent units shooting all on their own once you pick a target.

There's a cover system and some unit abilities to spice things up a bit.

Combat can get tricky if you take on too many enemies but half the time you'll be sneaking right past them. (you are rewarded for this!)

Syndicate was much more straightforward in that sense.

You won't be seeing any buildings collapse as in Syndicate Wars - no large scale destruction.
