System Shock® 2 (1999)

Scarily good

I love this game, have played many times since its original release, and still think that it holds its own against much newer games. It is a game you don't play when you are alone in the house with the lights out--the atmosphere is that immersive. And I truly appreciate that it doles out supplies incredibly sparingly, giving you a very good reason to sneak up on a target to hit it over the head with a crowbar instead of taking it out at range. If there are a few minor quibbles, (equipment degrades very rapidly in the future, apparent, they don't detract much from the ultimate pleasure of this game. <Very Minor Spoiler> And the first time I heard the sepulcher voice say, "Babies need sleep. Babies need rest. Wise is the one who does not disturb us." I actually turned around and ran the other way. *That's* immersion. Highly recommended.
