The cRPG additions is the biggest plus in this one. In SS2 I always turn off the music but not in 1. I enjoyed the music in 1 much more than 2. I thought it was a great representation and allowed you to open previously restricted areas by venture forth into it. I also enjoyed the cyber-space parts as well.
The mini-hacking pieces also took more thinking than just the trial and error clicking of 2. In SS2 Delacroix pretty much walks you through each step with her leading you by the nose until the "big reveal." One had to search for those clues and the logs gave you just enough info to know in which direction to look. The original's puzzles felt just challenging enough with the clues planted throughout the station in a logical fashion. The puzzles win hands down when comparing 1 vs 2. This is totally subjective but 2's level layout didn't seem as cohesive as 1's with 2's last several levels (Rickenbacker and The Many) falling flat fairly quickly and forcing a totally different play style onto the player (the jumping!!). Citidel Station felt like an actual space station with each level laid out in a fairly functional way that made sense and just "felt" more cohesive. I enjoyed the level design of 1 the best. Now this isn't intended as a full review of each game and their various parts but rather a quick impressions-type look at each games strengths (and weaknesses) with one emerging as the "winner." With the recent announcement of a SS3 being led by Warren Spector I began comparing the games to each other. I just recently finished both System Shock 1 & 2 and started thinking which one did I enjoy more. Had we known about this we would have added it to our list of most anticipated VR games for 2021.With all the GotY polls flying fast and loose around here recently I got the itch to create a poll myself. Could there also be a release on the Oculus Store and, dare we say it, an Oculus Quest edition? Hopefully we’ll find out in the coming weeks. We also don’t know exactly what platforms the game will be releasing on, though SteamVR seems like a lock. Nightdive didn’t provide an update on when the Enhanced Edition of the game might launch, but did suggest news might be coming soon. It was designed by Ken Levine who went on with the team at Irrational to make BioShock and BioShock Infinite.
It was praised for its approach to storytelling and open gameplay systems that let players approach the game in their own ways. The first-person role-playing game saw players fight a genetic infestation on board a starship. Originally released in 1999 and developed by Irrational Games, System Shock 2 is one of the most celebrated PC games of all time.
