    Loved system shock 2. Liked BioShock 1 was fine with BioShock 2 and still finished it. Could not do more than 2 hours of BioShock infinite before I could no longer deal with how blatantly on rails everything was and threw up my hands.

      ah, see, there’s someone who understands. Yea I remember it was super linear and somehow less entrancing than the first two, even gameplay-wise. Vague memories from back in the day

      Aaaand I’ve never played System Shock, 1 or 2, but heard a lot of good. What’s your recommended way of playing them ? say, for the modern gamer who’s okay with dated graphics ?

        I heard they did a whole remake of system shock 1 and a graphical remaster of system shock 2.

        I personally haven’t played system shock 1 but everything I’ve read was that system shock 2 was leagues better in every sense. I’d just start with system shock 2. I definitely didn’t feel like I missed anything significant story wise just starting with system shock 2!
