Syndicate

I like to keep track of what I've played on here, but I'm not comfortable reviewing a game I haven't put the hours into. I didn't finish Bully (or to a lesser degree, Skyrim)but at least I put longer into those games than I did many of the games I completed. I probably put less than two hours into Syndicate before realising it wasn't for me. My main issue was probably it felt stuff was added because it seemed cool rather than because it added to the gameplay. The bloom lighting; the Deus Ex style augmentations that just let you blow people up rather than mixing up the gameplay, the frustrating boss fights...there's a pretty but generic shooter buried under a bunch of design choices that seem to have been thrown at it to see if anything stuck. Those more patient than myself might be rewarded if they stick with it, but I have no reservations about quitting on this for the stunning Strangers Wrath.
