Sovereign Syndicate Review: Half point and click adventure game, half RPG, all Disco Elysium copycat

Sovereign Syndicate is a Disco Elysium clone, yes, but it's still wort the 8.39$ that if currently goes for on GOG and Steam. A solid story, strong characters and a fantastic and refreshing setting keep this title afloat for the entirety of its play time. I would've rather had player agency, emergent gameplay and replay value (that would've been much more videogame like and much more RPGey) to do the heavy lifting, but this will have to do.
The playable characters are the standout aspect of the game. You have this game's version of Harry Dubois from disco Elysium in Atticus Daley, a victorian dwarven Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series and Clara Reed, a streetwise witty dolly with a colorful past.
The setting is an alternate version of Victorian London where minotaurs, centaurs, cyclops and other mythical creatures wander about.
And the story is a tale of mystery in which the mystery aspect is well handled.
This is a CYOA game that sells itself as a video game... an RPG no less, one in which there is no combat. But, are there better combat-less RPGs? For sure: Gamedec, Citizen Sleeper and, of course, Disco Elysium come to mind. If you are a story-first RPG lover, you probably have played all of those, if you haven't... well. there you go.

I just found this channel, and I think it's great. As an aside, perhaps lower the volume of the background music so we can focus mainly on you and what you're saying.

A pass for me then. Why go for poor man's version of this or that if there's a better experience available. Still, nice review!

I was hoping this would seem more my style. I quite loved the mechanics of Disco Elysium, but I hated the story, that was just a commentary of modern political agendas. I play games to escape this world, not to further entrench me into the political landscape if left unchecked of this world. This just seems like they may have made a world I would like better, but without the depth of game mechanics, nor even weaving a good story in the world for the player to interact with. I do think with a little more player agency, and maybe a focus on one character this could be better for me than Disco Elysium.

Well this one is a pretty a-political mystery story, and I would say it's a good one. But the RPG mechanics are paper thin and the character progression is rather shallow.

That's both disappointing and kinda expected to be honest. Making a cRPG is hard for a small indie studio and I think that's their 1st game. Still, I'll take any RPG-adjacent game where the steampunk setting is not limited to surface-level esthetics.

Looks like a bit of wasted potential, sadly.

Yeah it was. It's a good story with good characters, but not a great game.
