System Shock 2

System Shock 2 - PC

Back to scare you again

How long has it been since you lost yourself in a game? If you are a fan of deep story, atmosphere, action and role playing then this is your game. While I won't explain much on the story, I can say that it's very well done, even though the plot seems simple, you will gradually find more meat than you ever expected. The atmosphere of the game is truly remarkable, these levels were designed to reflect real surroundings, you'll find food shops, movie theatres and many other things that most normal games would leave out. The ship is so well designed that it's believable that some may look like it in the future. The sound also adds to the feeling, to hear a mutant crawling in the next room when you have no weapons is a truly frightening sensation. As for gameplay, the basic premise is a First Person Shooter that uses RPG inventory system and statistics. Want to hack that computer? hope you invested in that hack skill a while back. Controls you ask? SS2 delivers a massive amount of control in a minimum amout of confusion. Almost everything has both a hotkey and a button on the inventory screen, and if you do run across a problem help is literally a click away. While there is not much of a replay value, this game is Massive, I can't remember the amount of hours I lost to this game. Overall, if you can get by the difficulty factor, SS2 is an experience like no other. (Not even Dues Ex)
