Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? System Shock already drew similarities with Alien, but the sequel makes these similarities even more prominent. Of course, the have eggs hatched, infected the crew and turned them into hostile alien species known as “The Many”. While there, the team discovered eggs of alien origin and subsequently brought them on board ( what a great idea).

The Von Braun was sent to investigate a distress signal from Tau Ceti V, a planet outside of the solar system. Initial segments take you through the recruitment process and introduce you to basic gameplay mechanics before sending you to the Von Braun starship. After the events of System Shock, TriOptimum went bankrupt, but like every malevolent corporation, it managed to garner the financing necessary for restructuring. This time around, you’re not an outlaw hacker but rather a rookie employee of the evil TriOptimum megacorp. Written by the prominent creative mastermind Ken Levine, System Shock 2 takes place 42 years after the events of the original game.
