System Shock® 2 (1999)
Description
"Remember, it is my will that guided you here. It is my will that gave you your cybernetic implants, the only beauty in that meat you call a body. If you value that meat... you will do as I tell you."
The cult classic sci-fi horror FPS-RPG has returned.
You awake from the cold chill of your cryo-tube to discover cybernetic implants grafted to your flesh and the crew of the starship Von Braun slaughtered. The infected roam the halls, their screams and moans beckoning you to join them as the rogue artificial intelligence known as SHODAN taunts and ridicules your feeble attempt to unravel the horrifying mystery of the derelict starship Von Braun.
Your Training Has Prepared You For This.
- Choose from 3 specialized branches of the military to utilize unique skills, weaponry, and paranormal psionic powers.
- Upgrade and enhance your skills to improve hacking, weapon proficiency, and psionic abilities.
- Discover cryptic audio logs, encounter ghostly apparitions and conduct research to give you the advantage in combat and unlock exotic weapons and items.
- Play with up to three friends in multiplayer co-op (co-op works in Windows only)

Buy it without Hesitation...if you dare!
This is easily one of the best games ever, if not the best ever. A chilling masterpiece.

Prepare for gaming shock!
Let me put it simple. SS2 is the best PC game ever. Inventory, character development, mostly non-linear level progress, great plot twists, very emotional, atmospheric, horror elements, guns, cyberpunk. This game has it all. It is designed very clever and you need to explore a lot. Audio logs explain story in very subtle, yet high impact way. We got spiritual successor in form of Bioshock, but in terms of gameplay it was miles away from this masterpiece. If you play this for the first time - I envy you... Everything said about story is just spoiling, so do not wait. Grab this PC diamond and have an adventure of your life.

You will play (seriously)
God damn, if this isn't one of the best games. Sure I may have been 14 when I was playing this on day0 but it still has got to be awesome right?
