Never has a game gripped my attention so completely, it was able to throw me from my chair while trying to dodge an attack, lean forward to be one inch from the screen, or throw my mouse off the table in an effort to get away from an enemy. To be drawn in so deeply is a rare and delightful experience.

Even with the amazing achievements in other areas of the game, one of the most under-appreciated, but ultimately useful, components of SS2 is its interface. There are so many things to control, so many weapons to wield, so many items to use, logs to listen to, objectives to check, items to research, etc., and the interface gets it done easily and it's possible to do it all without ever changing the position of either hand.
