System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster

FIRST HALF? AMAZING, SO MUCH FUN! I LOVED IT SECOND HALF? I hope a donkey kicked devs in their nut sack :)

Playing the remake of the first game and following up with this was probably my mistake. The ship feels smaller, and I noticed only traveling to a deck once or twice. Your codes are not run specific either, I thought that was a bummer. With more rpg elements, you have skill trees now. basically everything requires a skill check: using weapons, hacking, wearing armor. I thought this was a bummer, because the weapon pool is already so small now you are required to dump stats just to be able to expand your arsenal. If you want to maintain your weapons, that's another stat check. Did your weapon break and now you have to repair it? that's a separate stat check. I did not play a psionics run so I have no idea how the powers feel. Reaching the finale of the game was weird, the story felt like there was more to it and then you're abruptly in the final boss fight. I don't find myself satisfied with this ending SHODAN. Overall it's a good game from its era, but didn't hit as hard as the first for me.

I could write a lengty review on this game, where I go into the nitty-gritty on changes made, changes that should have been made, and changes that should not have been made, but .... Nah This is the definite edition of this game. Its good.

Игруха крутая, но в конце разраб насрал паркуром и бессмертными врагами стоящими в проходах.

Excellent remaster of a classic. Non-intrusive, the only things that were added or changed were minor QOL alterations that make sense, or rebalancing certain features that were formerly useless. Don't like it anyway? You can easily disable it with the in-game mod menu as the new content is included as external files. The definitive way to play one of the most influential video games ever made for modern systems.

Looks smooth, feels unforgiving.

this is for fan boys only. its silly, incoherent and a significant downgrade from 1 which is just bazar. its frustrating hallway chores ad if you don't retain information well i can imagine you going insane. thigs will be said 1 time in context and if you miss something. right to the walkthroughs. bummer.
