Not OP, but I'll take a moment to rant about how fucking great Eclipse Phase is.

You play as immortal posthuman (or uplifted animal) badasses working to secretly save the remaining ten percent of the human race from the hellish aftershocks of the cataclysm that wiped out the other ninety percent.

What's great about it is that this is a game that actually trusts its players. That's such a rare thing. What I mean by that is that Eclipse Phase has no notion of game balance, because it's not about being a game, it's about being an awesome story.

You want to create a literal clone army of yourself? Go for it. I wonder if that'll have any unforeseen consequences. Want to perform mind surgery on someone to rewrite their personality? Sure thing, have fun living with the moral weight of that choice. Want to be a sentient whale that lives in the sun? Hell yeah buddy, of course you can be a sentient whale that lives in the sun.

It looks like an action game, it plays like a horror game. It's Call of Cthulhu with the singularity and Fermi's paradox as its elder gods.

The last game Iโ€™ve played the plot was about a nano virii STD that was a key logger for the Hidden Concern (Octopus Mafia) that co-opt Bioconservative (racists) intelligence agencies

All of which sounds incredibly silly until you actually play the game.

Peak Eclipse Phase, well done.
