What games are there which are similar to Syndicate (1993)? I'm thinking there must be at least some game i'm missing out on.

Needs to have similar types of missions: set time bombs, infiltration etc.

Needs to have civilians in it, so not like X-com; mainly just you vs enemy, that's boring. I want more chaos/death and more world interaction, being able to steal a car perhaps, being able to mess around more. Would not mind if its otherwise similar to X-com but with more focus on simulation.

3D or 2D doesn't matter, time period doesn't matter.

Was the ""recent"" follow up to Syndicate good btw? I backed it but didn't play (lol). Seems to be rather mediocre from what i've read...

yeah i guess for some reason there's no good clone. I think i will check out Invisible Inc though, seems like a decent game. the others meh, i didn't try Satellite Reign, but i mainly just heard bad things. Brigador is not good imo.

Tokyo 42 this one could've been great. i've read a lot of reviews and how its designed seems really derpy, like no checkpoints for the difficult parts but added for easy missions. Might give it a shot though.

...and 1993. really hard to believe. this really is the no 1 "way ahead of its time"-game. it was before GTA, before any Commandos clone, before x-com... graphics are still actually not bad at all, very clean and not an eyesore.

I guess i should give it a replay instead of looking for clones Razz

What about the Shadowrun games? To be honest, I never played neither Shadowrun (tried on the phone but was too tiny) nor Syndicate but looks close enough.

EDIT: Or not. Thought Syndicate was turn-based. Reaction

I love the world of Shadowrun. I never finished any of the new ones, but played a fair bit.. I should finish at least one of them... might just do that actually, been in the mood for some cyberpunk (just not first person, like CP2077)

You definitely should. I didn't care for them at first (mechanics and engine wise), but they quickly grew on me. Each next one was better than the last, from what I recall.
