System Shock

So I have some bias. I love System Shock *2*, having first played it in 2014. For over a decade, I've always remembered the first time I made it to Recreation: 2 a.m. ish, headphones on, completely locked in, creeping around corners and gradually exploring the creepy space station. Good times. It was a unique experience that no modern game could ever replicate. Naturally, I always wanted to try the original 1994 DOS version, but it was simply too old for me to get into. Then the Enhanced Edition came along. It smoothed out the compatibility issues, but I still had a hard time with the UI. So when the Kickstarter was announced, it was music to my ears. Then came the Unity demo, and I was really excited. But the turbulent development slowed everything down, and eventually I stopped gaming altogether in 2021. I've just returned to gaming in August 2026, and the remake was one of my first ports of call. I'm currently in Section 5 (spoiler-free), and it's already up there among the best games I've ever played. This is a 10/10. Sure, some may say the texture quality could be higher, or complain that it clings to the unforgiving difficulty of the '90s, but I welcome all of it. I might get lost and need to have a quick look online for a nudge in the right direction, but despite its challenges, I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience of exploring and investigating the devastation caused to Citadel Station, with the Hacker caught in the middle of it all. Ignore the 0.4 hours of playtime shown in the review because I'm literally panting and sweating as I run through SHODAN's corridors in the UEVR mod. It also has plenty of replayability. I will be replaying this again on higher difficulties and, of course, in the official VR version, which was announced yesterday at the time of writing. If you have any interest in System Shock Remake, I suggest you buy it right this instant. Games like this don't come around very often. Nightdive really does incredible work, and this is the studio's flagship title. You can really tell they poured their love into System Shock Remake. System Shock is a prime example of how a remake should be handled.

I really enjoyed this game. It's a much slower-paced and more thoughtful comparing to other shooters such as Doom, which I personally appreciated. The combination of inventory management, large maze-like levels, an armor system that encourages you to switch between different weapons, and simple but enjoyable puzzles works very well together. One thing worth mentioning is that the game doesn't tell you what to do, there is no tasks/quest markers, you just have to carefuly listen to audiologs. It's very easy to get lost or lose track of where you're supposed to go next, especially during your first playthrough (it took me 30 hours on normal difficulty :D). While this can occasionally be frustrating, it also makes exploration feel more rewarding. The atmosphere is very immersive and tense. If you're a fan of games like the Deus Ex series or BioShock, you'll probably feel right at home here. Overall, it's a fantastic sci-fi horror shooter.

A wonderful remake of an all-time classic that feels like a brand new kind of game. Think bioshock but more retro and still offering new takes, remarkably distinct of any other game! You will suffer from inventory management and get dizzy with the mazy map design layout, but its part of the game.

good game i just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate the blindness. no obj marks, im not going to being roaming/rubbing around halls and corridors for 30 to an hours. and even in the og still isnt fun im not playing doom or wolfenstein. the only thing i hate about this game.

Who up shocking they system?

Hra je plná bugů, kde ten největší a nejzásadnější je, že když dáte cokoliv do výtahu, tak vám to zmizne. Bohužel jsem takhle nevědomky přišel o všechny demodulátory a v cirka 3/4 hry musel skončit. Vůbec nechápu jak to, že i když se o tom od spousty lidí ví, tak to vývojáři nedokázali do dnešních dnů opravit. Těžký amatérismus. Tfuj!
