Critic Reviews for Sovereign Syndicate
With its emphasis on roleplay rather than combat and borrowings from Disco Elysium, Sovereign Syndicate feels like another step forward for the CRPG.
I think ultimately that Sovereign Syndicate should have focused on one character, or allowed me to choose one and have the others become part of their storyline. Then you could re-experience the game from the other characters' perspectives. As it is, the pacing just doesn't do the game any justice. There is stuff to like here, the world is deep, the story is interesting, and it's releasing at a budget-friendly price, but I have to say that a game set in a steampunk London with minotaurs, centaurs, and dwarves roaming around really seems like it could have been much more than this.
It mostly whiffs on its greatest ambitions, but the world is intriguing enough that I'd like to see more of it.
While Sovereign Syndicate offered a rich world with colorful characters and an enticing story, I left it feeling like there was more to see. Luckily, its unique Tarot system and detailed dialogue kept me intrigued.
A witty, vicious, and charming-as-heck romp through a Victorian steampunk city, Sovereign Syndicate wraps its tight, character-driven story in layers of deliciously decadent prose. Delving through the seedy underbelly of this alternate-universe East London is compelling on its own, made all the more intriguing by the different perspectives of its trio of protagonists. Despite a few glitches at launch and some slightly rushed final moments, Sovereign Syndicate is a deeply satisfying narrative RPG and an absolute pleasure to play through.
While it packs an original setting and gameplay twist, Sovereign Syndicate would have benefitted from a narrower scope and improved execution.
If you're looking for a game that follows in the footsteps of Disco Elysium, Sovereign Syndicate is a good choice. With its steampunk London, colourful characters and intriguing story, it is a good book, I mean, game.
