Cautiously optimistic
This demo includes the complete Medical level of the game (barring the cyberspace section and one enemy type). This is an alpha build, so I will of course be ignoring glitchiness and general rough-around-the-edges-ness. I first played and completed System Shock 1 with the Enhanced Edition late last year, and while I had a few gripes I had a pretty good time with it. Hopefully I can give a more objective impressions without the nostalgia goggles. Highlights: - Doesn't fix what ain't broken. Item placement and level design are all just as I remembered them. - The few additions that are here (restrooms, cyborg surgeons, and a nice view of Saturn) are great. Really ties the space together in what would otherwise be empty corners. - Atmosphere seems to be much more horror-oriented, more in line with SS2. - Inventory system also lifted from SS2, which is a definite improvement over the original. - Jesus, cyborg assassins are TERRIFYING now. Concerns: - Like others have noted, the combat isn't great. Melee range is too short, very little feedback on hit, etc. This is probably going to be fixed. - Grenades are not handled well. Equipping them throws them immediately, which I was never able to get used to. - I can't decide whether the mutants look creepy or goofy. What's up with the quarters in their eyes? - Some of the items are hard to see. I walked right over the pistol and magpulse the first time because I couldn't see them in the dark (this may be why some people think there's a two weapon limit, not quite sure). - There are lots of little items lying around you can't pick them up, which makes it a little difficult to single out the ones you can and runs contrary to the original's design philosophy. Aside from a few gripes, this looks like it's going in the right direction. It seeks to recreate the original with updated graphics and mechanics without trampling its art direction. This game has had a rough development, but it may finally be on the right track.
