System Shock® 2 (1999)

Overhyped.

Granted, I did not play this when it was first released in the 90s, but I feel that the reviews on here are way too modest. Nearly 8 hours in I'm very bored with it. The story doesn't keep me in suspense, the atmosphere is boring, and some things irk me such as the abundance of chemicals for researching (they fill up your inventory drastically), the weapons seem way out of balance (I still prefer the wrench over anything), and the pure guess work of hacking. The narrative of the game is the same boring narrative that all mainstream FPS's have today. This game may have been the first to do it - I really don't care - it doesn't live up to being entertaining today. It's pretty bad that I can predict the cliches in the story before they happen because of the games today. Dues Ex is a much better FPS that I couldn't let go from beginning to end.
