Cerebro-stimulated Regeneration is a borderline OP ability that let's you regen almost all of your health for 2 psi points. Pychoreflective screen is a dirt-cheap tier 1 skill that's pretty much always useful. Here's some psi abilities that are useful regardless of build: Going 100% Psi is extreme difficulty, but investing in Psi powers is still pretty useful if you know what to get.

Optionally you can get Tacticool for updated weapon models/textures, I'd personally ignore stuff like Rebirth which upgrade enemy models but in my opinion are not at all faithful to the original tone and also don't fit in with the rest of the content unlike the other mods.

The SCP community patch also sounds like a must now that I'm looking at these things again (it's been a while since I played it) but I don't recall if it will mess with any of the mentioned mods, maybe you can ask over at.

After that I'd also recommend the Four Hundred mod for 100% faithful to the original texture upgrades (it doesn't go overboard with like 4K baked normal maps or anything, it still fits nicely with left over original content), SHTUP which upgrades various other objects and textures including animated displays, again very faithfully to the original, and Vurt's two model upgrade mods, one for the various plants throughout the game and one for other objects like the alien eggs, slime, etc., also very faithful and fitting with the original game. It's really not hard to manage all that stuff at all, it doesn't feel much more complex than say, Resident Evil 1 in practice, there's the odd section or two you might get stuck in but otherwise careful methodical play is rewarded with progress.Įveryone should use SS2Tool though, it brings a mod manager with it and otherwise patches and polishes the game up. I mean, I dreaded some of the elements you mentioned before playing it and even looked around for mods that disable gear deterioration but after playing it I saw there's just an early learning curve and then you manage pretty easily as long as you ignore some objectively unbalanced stuff like the reportedly useless psi class (which I learned of its shortcomings after playing, I went with Navy anyway myself as it sounded like the simplest/best to start with). I wont lie Ive given myself some med packs and ammo on occasion (frickin assassins). If you like real Survival Horror that keeps you on your toes then I recommend it. The fun and tense gameplay outweighs the interface flaws and other jankiness. See a Cyborg? Better hope you can swap to Armor Piercing ammo before it kills you. And yeah the clunky interface adds to that.

Like I said, the game is tough.īut its fun because its tense. Then Cyborg Assassins start showing up to rain on your parade. Out of ammo? Hope you can melee strafe.īut eventually you get a good supply of ammo and health items etc. You cant take a hit and they can take several. Last but not least, the game is difficult. Especially when 4 enemies pop up and 2 of them explode when they catch you. Need chems to research, hope you find the chem roomĮnemies take like 2 hits with a club to die but also 3 blasts from a shotgun? What?Įnemy respawn can be lame. Want to use a med bed? Need a special key.

Full clip of normal bullets to down a guy with or ONE anti-personel bullet. Gun decay (OMG fuck gun decay) (Hope you took maintenance!).Ī revolver takes up as much space as a wrench which takes up as much space as a shotgun which takes up the same space as a grenade launcher. I really wish the Remaster hadn't ended up with issues.Īnyways onto System Shock 2, which I have been streaming on Twitch (Pilgrimzer0) (And can also be found on my Youtube) Even one of the devs said looking back the interface was 'bad'. I wanted to go back and try the System Shock games. Bioshock 1 and Infinite are 2 of my GoaT games.
