mc_ss2A favorite in perennial “greatest game ever made” features, Irrational’s hybrid first-person shooter/role-playing game is still celebrated for its scares, sophisticated plot twist, and persistent character progress. Players choose to specialize in one of three career branches — emphasizing marksmanship, hacking and repair know-how, or paranormal mental powers — and further enhance their skill sets with cyber module upgrades.
