In fact I feel Deadspace practically copied System Shock 2 quite heavily but went a different way. Within the first 5 minutes(after the tutorial part) it immediately invokes a Deadspace feel. I've only got 9 hours in System Shock 2 and I had never played it until a few days ago. I'll chime in, since I've played Bioshock(loved it), Bioshock 2(tolerated it), Bioshock Inifinite(didn't like it), Thief(The old ones, loved those) and Deadspace 1 + 2. I thought that's more like a Resident Evil 4 style shooter, no? Are there RPG elements in that game? I'm not sure why Dead Space is being mentioned here. SS2 sounds like the kind of game I would enjoy. You find 3 or 4 shotgun bucks at a time, and a Big Daddy requires at least 12-15 shots to kill on higher difficulties.

Originally posted by Ste-Plaza:Everyone should enjoy SS2 and Shodan. That’s what a survival-horror game is supposed to do. I think it was that feeling of constantly being on my last reserves more than anything else that made every enemy encounter scary in this game. There were several points where I was sure I’d wasted too much to have a chance at beating the game and nearly decided to start over.

Unlike BioShock and more like Human Revolution, you have an actual limited inventory in SS2, and it seems like resources are almost always scarce, especially later in the game. This goes into SS2’s heavier emphasis on resource management. Experience points are either discovered as items or doled out for completing objectives (this even has a strong connection with the story), so you can’t grind, and you really have to watch where you spend them. This game was Genre defining in many ways.Īt the beginning of the game, you choose a general development path for your character: guns, hacking, or psionics (basically plasmids). If you enjoyed Bioshock Deus Ex Dead Space et al. Use all the Community based mods and really enjoy it.
