About System Shock 2

A first-person cyberpunk exploratory horror RPG and sequel to System Shock (1994) in which a soldier wakes up in the starship Von Braun in the aftermath of a disaster and finds himself in the midst of a conflict between SHODAN, the artificial intelligence antagonist of System Shock seeking mastery over humanity, and The Many, a flesh-based psychic hive mind led by the ship's corrupted AI.

    Pourquoi ce jeu traîne encore aussi bas alors qu'il a posé, enfin influencé serait plus juste, une bonne partie de ce qu'on adore dans le RPG immersif aujourd'hui ?

    Recuerdo jugarlo pensando en el original y flipando con lo que habían mejorado, xq comparado con el primero esto era otro nivel de inmersión.
