System Shock: Enhanced Edition

Good game, controls take a little bit to get used to. I like how you can switch between mouselook and moving the crosshair around your screen, both for interacting with the UI and for some precise shooting from behind cover. Speaking of the UI, it can be a bit intimidating for some first-timers, but it undoubtedly does a good job at making you *feel* like you're playing as a total geek, which you are. The way you progress through this game activated the Metroidvania neurons in my brain, which is probably another reason why I like this game so much. And as it turns out, this did come out a few years before SotN. Neat. Not finished with it just yet, but I have been enjoying it overall. Can't wait to get to 2. With this experience, I've also achieved newfound feelings of grief for SS3.
