System Shock® 2 (1999)

I can't be objective when it comes to System Shock 2. It's my favorite game and I've enjoyed it completely every time I go through the Von Braun corridors. It's got the humanest, evilest AI ever scripted into the lines of a game, and that is something that simply doesn't age. 10/10

I really don't see what is up with all the hype that surrounds this game. 1. This is a personal preference but I don't like being stuck in corridors for the duration of a game. It starts feeling like "rat in a maze". Give me some variety. 2. None of the gameplay features were good enough to overcome gripe #1. 3. The game tries too hard to be scary, which makes it feel like a B grade horror.

Well I realized something playing this one After beating great games like Dead Space and Bio-Shock years ago playing this one recently. I realized how much this game must of heavily influenced those ones. I can't say I really enjoyed the dated clunky gameplay, but however I did enjoy the atmosphere and story.

J'écris ces quelques lignes quelques minutes seulement après avoir fini System Shock 2, c'était pour ma part ma première experience en compagnie de Shodan n'ayant pas joué au première épisode et je dois dire que j'étais et suis encore surpris par la profondeur que ce soit de l'histoire ou encore du gameplay de ce jeu qui, à partir d'aujourd'hui, fera partit de mon catalogue de classique soyez en sûr. 20 ans plus tard (et après de nombreux patchs de la communauté) il n'a absolument rien à envié et détrone même 95% des jeux qui sortent de nos jours, certes certains méchanismes de jeu restent perfectibles mais les points positifs sont tellement plus nombreux qu'ils font largement de l'ombre aux défauts que l'on arrive à pardonner au fur et à mesure que l'on avance dans l'histoire.

Truly enjoyed it, great story. Could not put it down for 4 days straight. Thanks for Linux support, too bad it's not on GOG, but the game is DRM free on other platform, too.
