System Shock
I've been slowly exploring the second level, Engineering. It's definitely much tougher than the first level, and it just reinforces how this game is less a shooter and more a stealth or survival horror game. I've got to mention this game's dynamic soundtrack. It's not as good as the best iMUSE stuff, but it's pretty good. The melody and instrumentation change based on the particular subarea of the level, but unfortunately do not change based on your current situation (combat vs. exploring for instance). Still, it's nice and sounds awesome on a Sound Canvas.

Here's a tip for free: Abuse the leaning, kneeling and prone mechanics as much as possible. Also abuse the fact that because you are aiming your gun independently of your view, try to angle your attack so you hit the absolute edge of someones hit box without fully exposing yourself. You'll find a lot of combat situations are rendered VERY trivial by playing tactically like this.
