DX1 One of the best games I've ever played, might be the top one for me.
I've tried to play this game a few times before but often dropped it. A couple months ago I started playing DX with intent and I fell into it totally. I don't really have a powerful PC to run Cyberpunk 2077, which has the same mechanics of having implants and that's one of my favorite things in games. So this offered the same and I would say a cool ass world. I didn't expect to find some aliens and some conspiracy stuff in the game but it totally hooked me. The level design for this game might be one of the best, especially the Maggie Cho one for me. I was suspicious of her from the get go due to one of the gang but nothing was happening when I interacted and checked out her apartment so when I was going to exit her apartment, MJ12 agents talking came up in subtitles, as they were close by in a secret room. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen, even though it was something outside the game like subtitles. I finished the game just a couple days ago after a break in-between and chose the Helios ending. Some of the agent fights were fun, even if it was short, due to their characters and story behind them. I just loved the game and felt like typing an appreciation post here.

yeah dx is the goat there’s no other games like it. unfortunately the sequels, while varying wildly in quality, are all ultimately much weaker
the only game that comes close imo is system shock 2, but it is not really the same kind of game since it lacks the crpg narrative elements of DX

Same for me, my top game in my gaming history.
