By the last 2 levels of the game, you are slaughtering the toughest enemies with a snap of your fingers - or ignoring them all together - and after hours of dying to monkeys and spiders at the start it feels so satisfying. Another thing that makes impossible so fantastic is the sense of progression you get over the course of the game, going from you being scared of everything to everything being scared of you. Normal difficulty is a fairly standard run'n'gun experience, but impossible is terror and scrounging and begging for every last nanite. You will need to use your wrench and fancy foot work to handle most enemies you encounter, because bullets are simply too precious. The severe resource restrictions and your low health combine to encourage an extremely Dark Souls-esque playthrough. Survival is not to be expected.Īnd yet impossible is also amazing fun. On impossible every cyber module upgrade cost is increased (179% of normal), enemies spawn more frequently, drop less loot, items cost more nanites at replicators (200% of normal), endurance gives you less HP. On normal you start the game with 35 HP - on impossible you start with just 10. The very first enemy you meet in the game can one shot kill you with his standard attack, and almost every enemy you encounter can 2 or 3 shot you. Impossible is the hardest of four possible difficulties in SS2, and it's not messing around. But System Shock 2 is a game that really comes alive only on the 2nd playthrough, and especially only on impossible difficulty. They either don't play it, or play just once and put it down.
System Shock 2 is one of the greatest RPGs ever made, and yet I feel like most people don't appreciate much of what it has to offer.
