We’re preparing a Performance Analysis for Syndicate but let’s get one thing straight; the bloom effects are overdone and there is no way to disable them. Seriously, my eyes hurt after watching some of the in-game screenshots that I’ve captured and that says a lot. Starbreeze went nuts with it and luckily for you, there is a temporary workaround to get rid of those flashy gimmick effects.

This is too good to pass by. Reddit’s user MikkelManDK has spotted a nice surprise inside the installation folder of Syndicate PC. It seems that Starbreeze decided to include a .nfo file as an easter egg that is addressed to the PC piracy scene.

Starbreeze went ahead and placed a similar file into Syndicate’s folder (SBZ.nfo and SBZ stands for StarBreeZe) with proper instruction in how you can install and play the game. Great find MikkelManDK! Continue reading Syndicate PC features an amazing easter egg, addressed to the PC gaming piracy scene→
