Do I recommend it now? No, no I don't.

The game right now is a pre-alpha, which means it's basically a demo. Is a demo worth 30$? No it's not.

I bought this game because I've been following it for a bit (I'm not a backer on KickStarter, it's not really my thing).

I'm a huge fan of the original Syndicate (I still play it today). What this game has right now is the ambience. You play it, and it feels like Syndicate, with better graphics, and less features ('cause it's a pre-alpha).

I bought this game full-well knowing this. And I still put out $30 of my money for it. Why? Because it wants to be the next Syndicate, and it's on a very good path to being just that. And they have at least one developer on the team that worked on the original. The groundwork has been put out, and if you had the chance to play it, you will know that the spirit of Syndicate carries on this in game.

In this state, no, it's not worth it for the average joe. If you're a fan of the original franchise, then it's up to you to decide whether you want to pay $30 now, or wait until full release and pay the full price.

I made up my mind, and the next 6 months are going to be exciting in watching this one grow to the long-awaited Syndicate (spiritual) sequel.
