It’s also very easily modded and there are loads of graphical overhauls for it to choose from that bring it to modern levels of pretty, along with QOL tweaks, bug fixes and good balancing changes. Just remaster it yourself 🤷🏻♂️
Any recommendation for modding guide. I played it back in the day, but to be honest I stopped in one of the earlier levels because it got a bit unnerving.
Mostly looking for HD support, better textures/assets (but ones that jive with the vibe) and balance changes to make it a bit easier.
That’s a bit like saying you can buy flour and bake bread.
Some people are interested in a product that is immediately ready to use as a simple convenience. Others might be on console that doesn’t offer the origial title or allow mods.
That comes up every time there is a re-release or a remaster.
If you are content with your setup, cool.
But this is Nightdive. They cook. It is already confirmed to have a subset of the community patch as well as improved visuals and hands and controls. So in terms of “worth it”… it probably is for the vast majority of people even slightly interested in SS2.
System shock 2 is still a spectacular game

New engines do wonders. Especially for 20+ year old games.
