Sovereign Syndicate received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. RPGFan noted, "Sovereign Syndicate is a game of highs and lows. If there is to be more to the story, the gameplay portion would need some rethinking to make it work. But on the positive side, I loved the world and characters, and I'd be excited to see more of them."[2] PC Invasion praised the writing but felt the ending was rushed.[7] PC Gamer said with its emphasis on roleplay rather than combat and borrowings from Disco Elysium, Sovereign Syndicate feels like another step forward for the CRPG.[3] RPGamer said that the game "makes for a lovely take on the gaslamp fantasy genre, with the plot to back up the appearance."[8] IGN complimented the worldbuilding and characters but criticized the writing, and called the game overall "a mixed bag".[9]
