Irrational Games/Looking Glass Studios - 1999 - PC
I picked this up off Steam hoping to fill the Bioshock void that Infinite left. It actually had a bit of a different feel than Bioshock, but it was just as good. I think this game was a bit ahead of its time and I can see why fans of this game complained that Bioshock was too “dumbed down” when it came out. There’s way more skill customization and RPG elements in System Shock 2 than Bioshock, which I like. You can upgrade your character’s hacking skill or repairing skill or shooting skill etc. to fit your playstyle. Kind of like Deus Ex.
It has the same horror tone and atmosphere from the first Bioshock games, but more futuristic sci-fi Alien-ish horror than 1920s gone wrong. The only sort of problem with this game is that it’ll feel a bit dated. The voice acting is completely laughable and it’s in that early era of 3d PC games where everything looks really blocky and low-res. Which actually can be just as horrifying when you can’t quite tell what you’re looking at when a blocky monster jumps out at you.
Check this out if you like Deus ex, Bioshock, old PC games or horror games in general.
