System Shock 2 is so immersive. Just the sheer quality and depth of gameplay locks you in, genuinely creepy storyline. And somehow to me the idea of being isolated with this insane AI on a spaceship is more terrifying than Atlas, though Bioshock 1 is ofc a masterpiece in its own right.

Yeah idk I have a lot of problems with the current state of gaming. Seems like it's stalled out in some ways and same, I am missing the continued progress of certain genres, open world action RPG definitely up there. I think it's just that part of the cycle of creativity/industry, kind of a down moment. Eventually something will come along to shake things up, revitalize the industry and we'll see some good new stuff. Meanwhile System Shock 2 still holds up lol
