good fucking game. some friendly advice; first time players, ignore psi

May 2024

It works and doesn't require a widescreen fix... Even though the game is from 1999. That alone is worthy of a Recommend.

This game stands the test of time. Everyone should give this a shot, go to MandaloreGaming on youtube and watch his review to get basic mods that help with the aging graphics while keeping the original game untouched for a pure experience. I cannot stress enough how fun this game is, I play through it once a year every year. Stop reading my dumbass review and just play it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

March 2024

I came to System Shock 2 playing it for the first time after playing and loving the System Shock 1 Remake. The fact that this is dated as a clear 1999 game does not affect my review. I get it, the game is dated and plays like a game from 1999. If you don't like that, it's not for you. However, this game is incredible and you can 100% see the inspiration that so many popular games have drawn from this. The combat feels a bit clunky as expected but the exploration, atmosphere, and world story telling is top notch. Shodan continues to be one of the best villains in gaming history, completely underrated at this point considering how a younger generation likely never played these games. It's a classic, a masterpiece, that hopefully gets a remake that it deserves. I may have waited 25 years to finally play it but I'm glad I did. I should have played it sooner.
