View submission: Modern versions of Amiga games

Satellite Reign is an excellent spiritual successor of Syndicate, and IIRC involved one of the original Bullfrog dev team. It maintains the squad of 4 operatives approach and brings in different tasking and skills for different squad members, and takes place in a nice, big Cyberpunk world. Definitely worth a look based on your preferences.

Populous had a third installment on PC called Populous: The Beginning. It changes things a little, bringing in some more RTS elements but it was also a fantastic game in its own right. It also had an expansion pack called Undiscovered Worlds, which is great too, albeit a step up in difficulty. That was a Windows XP-era game, you might be able to find patched versions to run on more modern setups, otherwise a virtual machine might be the way to go.

Edit: Populous seems to be available on Steam for Windows 7 / 10, so it looks like it may have already been patched for modern systems.
