SiN Gold

I played the demo for Sin before the game released. That must have been back in 1998. I liked it quite a bit. Starting off the game manning a heavy machine gun from a helicopter before going in on foot seemed pretty cool. Fresh. The game looked good and utilized the Quake 2 engine well. The game also seemed challenging and so I got a surprising amount of play out of what was merely a demo. And that was that. I never got the full game. I couldn't tell you why. Perhaps I was influenced by some negative reviews or perhaps it's true that the game suffered heavily from being overshadowed by Half-Life. Whatever the case was after picking up the game on Steam in 2026 I can tell you that it was for the best. For whatever the comparison may be worth, I also completed Far Cry 1 in 2026 and THAT game is a masterpiece. So having played shooters since I picked up Doom in 1994 I do like to think that I can give old games fair consideration. First of all if you're going to play the game pick up the Dominatrix mod. Search for it. It'll fix some resolution issues. The reason I enjoyed that demo so much back in the day may have very well been because that first level might have …

Barely recommended. This was really on the verge on whether I should put thumbs up or down for this one. SiN is an FPS game with usually fun combat, wacky characters and severe deliberate oversexualisation that becomes a satire of its own. Normally, I push hard against heavily sexualised games, but this one mostly makes jokes out of it, so I guess I'm not complaining. Even without over-the-top sexualisation other aspects are over-the-top as well. Humour and dialogues are so cheesy, corny and dated. It's so lame that it works, quite amusing. Reminds me of those 80s and 90s cheesy action films like Steel (1997), or Tango & Cash (1989), Blade (1998) too haha. The music here is very good though, similar music could be heard in already mentioned Blade and The Matrix (1999). As for the gameplay, there is quite a lot of variety in levels. both quality and pace. Most of the stealth levels are ranging from pretty bad to very bad. There are some okay water levels, they're not good, but toleratable. Some of the best levels are the very first levels of the game, although there are still many good levels later on. Unfortunately, most of the levels in the last third of the game are atrocio…

Just like the Half Life

I can't believe I'm saying this but actually kinda fun if so incredibly hokey

it needs a remaster with modern hardware it's virtually unplayable

Insanely underrated. Shame it got overshadowed by Half-Life
