System Shock® 2 (1999)

You know what's more awesome than Deus Ex, in my opinion? System Shock 2. It has a well-told story, EXCELLENT rpg mechanics, a spooky atmosphere and a great sci-fi vibe. I can't put this game to words. Just buy it.

Just bought this game on ebay 5 days ago for £25......Grrrrr and have only played the 1st level....but yes this is worth all the hype...its fantastic..... only advise i can give is look for goodies everywhere, and i mean everywhere and restart the game after about an hour of two, after you have started to get an understanding of the game. it will have taught you much by then and you will be able to play the game in the way you really want to.....its a RPG/shooter and you need to discover how you wish to play the game without wasting powerups/ammo

THIS is the Real Horror. SS2 has the most memorizable moments in my Life as a Gamer. I own the Original but now i can start the game without installing any patch. And it works perfect! SS2 is a classic and one of the best games ever made. The german synchronisation is fantastic. The graphics are atmospheric and the replay value is very high. Thanks GOG!

One of those games I will alwys remember. And with each game of this caliber this site is more and more the home of the Good Old Games :) 5/5, not going to delve deep into what the game is or is not (as it can be read below) but I just can not hold myself and I have to say: GOG, REALLY!? REALLY it took THAT long to get us this? Well I can only say one thing to that: Thank you. Now don't sit around, let's better hope Albion will come soon too :)

If GOG had told me that I could have a Windows 7-compatible version of one of my top three favorite PC games, I would have had to choose between Homeworld, X-Com, or System Shock 2. Think of a less-complicated but much creepier version of Deus Ex, and you won't be far off. A few handy tips: 1. Put a few points into Research so you can target the weaknesses of your enemies; 2. Make sure you're using the right type of ammo for the right type of enemy; 3. Learning how to sneak up on an enemy to clock 'em with the monkey wrench can help you conserve scarce and expensive ammo. Thank you, GOG!
