Unlike its predecessor, System Shock 2 is really a full blown survival horror game. It's very engaging to learn about this tragedy, while also gut-wrenchingly horrifying at the same time. I learned all of this from listening to audio logs and piecing it together. The plot of System Shock 2 is excellent, although it's not exactly told to you.

You awaken after everyone has already died, which is eerily similar to the first game, and are tasked with exploring the derelict ship to find a way to destroy the aliens. And of course, they infect everyone on board, and turn the entire ship into a fleshy parasite-infested hell hole. It picks up a distress signal from some random planet, they check it out, excited to finally prove the existence of aliens or whatever, and surprise, it's those goddamn Shodan mutants. 42 years later, the Von Braun, the first space ship ever capable of lightspeed travel, embarks on its maiden voyage. The hacker from the first game jettisoned that Grove deep into space, and it crashlanded on some random planet. The plot of System Shock 2 is pretty in depth, so I'll try to condense it as best I can.īasically, Shodan, from the first game, created some weird alien species in one of the groves on Citadel Station. And after beating it for myself, I have to say, that title isn't far off. System Shock isn't known for being System Shock, it's known because its sequel is considered one of the greatest games ever made. I beat System Shock a couple weeks ago, and it was a blast.
