“Through its wonderfully dynamic gameplay which mixes methodical forward-planning with glorious, chaotic scrambles out of dodge, Satellite Reign has taught me that being a perfectionist is actually dull—the real fun begins when you make a mistake.”

“Satellite Reign does Syndicate better than Syndicate ever did.”
80 · Destructoid
“Satisfyingly freeform missions and rich systems to play with, set in one of the prettiest cyberpunk cities on PC.”
