woke up on a ship everything went wrong found a weapon feels like a toy enemy shows up i panic miss every shot SHODAN starts talking i instantly lose the will to exist. inventory is a disaster i carry junk like a hobo. open random door regret it every single time. game is janky game is stressful game is great 8/10 i recommend
This is 11/272 in my unplayed steam library so far. This is an easy recommendation, especially if you already like Bioshock. It's kind of fascinating, this game has the clear building blocks before they ended up making Bioshock. All the survival, heavy worldbuilding is all there. It's just clunkier. I personally don't plan to beat it right now, but maybe one day I will. For me the Bioshock series gives me all I need and more compared this System Shock. For anyone that wants more, or that old 90s pc game aesthetic along with it, this is definitely for you.

Kinda intense even for RPG mechanics. I judged the game harshly over the one tedious fetch quest.. you'll know it. Nightdive you have the chance to do the funniest thing ever (RNG those codes mamas) Story and sound design is really good. And Polito's voice actress is fantastic
bioshock0.9, but in space, this is my first play through but i like it so far.
didn't like it at first, but it pulls you back in time and time again. шайтанама
A very good game. It came out in 1999 and with that said everyone should play the remaster. It is the exact same game with better graphics and sound.
You don't have to order it sepereatly. It come with [strike]eggwuh[/strike] the 25th Anniversary edition.
One of the most immersive games ever made. The last Mission sucks major poo poo stains tho
canim annem :)
