In space, no-one can hear you scream - a fitting mantra for an amazing experience
Imagine, if you will, being stranded on a spaceship, light-years away from Earth, with no hope of rescue. Death lurks around every corner, and the feeling of an ever-present entity looms. You’re down to your last f... Read Full Review

A revolution in gaming...
SS2 is, by far, one of my Top 5 games of all time. This is coming from a long time PC gamer (way back in the days of the Commodore 64) who has seen it all (or most of "it"). Yes, yes, the graphics aren't what we expect... Read Full Review

Renders the first game obsolete. That means the game is flawless.
Silly BioShock, your not an RPG. There are very few examples of perfect games, because making a perfect game is hard. System Shock 2 is an example of a perfect game. The guys at Irrational, despite so many limitat... Read Full Review

An innovative classic that is as great to play today as it was a decade ago.
During the late 90s PC gaming had begun to evolve, especially in the FPS genre. Games like Jedi Knight and Half-Life had changed everyone's perception of the genre which until then had been defined mostly by simple actio... Read Full Review

A classic FPS/RPG hybrid that did it right in a way to set the bar for years to come of what could be done.
I think back on all the hours I spent aboard the Von Braun, the main set piece of System Shock 2, and remember it not just as a set of levels to be explored, but as a really large ship infested with the "Many" floating t... Read Full Review

If the perfect FPS would be a cake, System Shock 2 would be the cherry on top. And the frosting. And the spoon.
Far from any hype, never have even googled the game, I installed System Shock 2 expecting a mediocre shooter. After all, prior to SS2 I had finished Half Life and it raised the bar pretty high. SS2 raised it higher. A st... Read Full Review

SS2 will grab you by the throat and send you flying through a bizarre, almost surrealistic cyberpunk horror story.
System Shock 2 is hard to describe. Like its predecessor, it is a hybrid of RPG and FPS elements, but its not quite in either genre. Its something in between, and something wholly unique. The game is extremely atmosph... Read Full Review

Classics never get old, they mature like a good vintage scotch.
Ten years had passed since i last played SS2. And a couple of days ago, thanks to the shortage of decent games these last few months, i decided to dust off my box and give it a whirl. And i do mean dust off, the CD case ... Read Full Review
