Originally released back in 1998 and set in a near-future dystopian world, SiN: Reloaded puts you in control of security consultant Colonel John R. Blade as you take on the seductively evil Doctor Elexis Sinclaire. When Elexis, CEO of SinTEK Industries, begins injecting the streets with a DNA-altering drug, it's time to reassess the laws of morality by facing off against Elexis’ unholy army of genetically-engineered mutants.

If they hadn't explicitly stated the year of release, the synopsis sure would have given it away. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall of that pitch meeting.

I had no idea this game existed tbh. Is this a cult classic I had missed?

I remember it fondly. I don't remember it being a huge deal but it was solid.

hah, neat! I got gifted an expansion to that game (Wages of Sin) for my birthday or xmas or something, but whoever bought it for me didn't know it needed the base game, and I couldn't return it because I had already opened it.

Thankfully the base game was available in some three pack with Sin, Heretic II, and some other game. While I did enjoy Sin and Wages of Sin, honestly I got WAY more traction with Heretic II, which was a fucking incredible game for its time, especially the blade/staff battle dynamics which eventually gave us the excellent lightsaber play in the Jedi Knight games.

I think the third game in that pack was Battlezone 2 which was also fucking EXCELLENT, so much so that there's a somewhat recent remaster of it on Steam that works really well.

but I do fondly remember the casino level from Sin, that shit was fun as hell

I played Sin pretty recently for the first time. It's pretty rough honestly. Pretty goofy game with enemies that seem a bit too deadly. I eventually turned on cheats to breeze through the game lol

It was decent enough game when it came out. I mean I had fun with it and I'm looking forward to the remake just for nostalgia's sake.
