It's like a cross between a walking sim and System Shock. While it might occasionally feel like a prototype it does enough good things with its atmosphere and writing to make it interesting to play.

At first it might feel like Deus Ex HR in System Shock clothes but in the end it stands out on its own merits, enough to make it one of the best immersive sim in recent years.

Better than its reputation, the Thief reboot has a lot to offer even if various issues, a forgettable story and poor sound prevent it from being great.

Another competitor for the "best ever" crown, Bloodlines rembles a more expansive and mature Deus Ex but with vampires in place of cheesy conspiracies.

Highly divise, Bioshock Infinite is a game from a timeline where Immersive Sims have gone horribly wrong. Bombastic but hollow.

Although some call it unnecessary it is a worthy sequel and improves greatly on its predecessor both mechanically and narratively. Check out the DLC.

The spiritual sequel to System Shock is geared towards action but still impresses with grandiose vistas and a unique story.

EYE borrows from just about every sci-fi franchise in existence and crafts a bizzare melange that somehow resembles an Immersive Sim. Acquired taste.

A welcome improvement of most of the core systems make it the mechanically best Stalker game although not quite as gripping as the original.

The phoned-in sequel is only tolerable with mods - otherwise skip it and go for Call of Pripyat instead.
