If you like SS2 you must get this game!!

For years I tried to play the original System Shock, but I found the control scheme too big of a hurdle to overcome. I've played System Shock 2 many times, and loved it, even with its complex interface. But I never could enjoy the original System Shock due to the complex and very clunky interface. Fortunately Night Dive added fully functioning mouse-look support, and I was finally able to enjoy the game. If you have played System Shock 2, then the interface in Enhanced System Shock is somewhat similar. Not identical, but similar enough so that you can pick it up quickly. The only real gap in the interface for me was the inability to assign custom shortcut keys (e.g. switching/reloading weapons, changing ammo types, stims, etc.) But I was able to adjust my approach to accommodate this limitation. GOG also includes some very useful extras like two strategy guides (One from Origin and one from Sybex), detailed maps of Citadel Station and solutions to all the puzzles. You also get System Shock Classic so you can try the game with the original 1994 interface if you choose. So it's real a bargain for $9.99!!

Ultimate cyberpunk adventure in space

Old version of System Shock is very clunky and unappealing by todays standards. But - this version makes everything better. There is some clunkiness, but it's mainly because of original design - and in few minutes everything becomes very clear. This version has many, many options to customize your gameplay - from controls, to difficulty. It's a very immersive game and it encourages the player to explore and carefully plan your adventure. It lacks the RPG elements of System Shock 2, but it's more open ended, and (for me at least) much more fun to play. If you're a fan of sci-fi/cyberpunk - this is a must! For me it's better than SS2. Great game and extremely recommended!

A Classic that needs attention!

At first I felt somewhat mixed about game but after forcing myself to understand how this game is to be played compared to the second game and It's many spiritual successors (bioshock series, prey reboot, etc.). And I can assure anyone reading this that can tolerate aging graphics and controls that this was worth my time. I fully understand now how this game managed to start a sub-genre in the FPS Genre and I am now anticipated for the third entry as well as the reboot/remake of this game.

New comer to the game

I would preface this with that I have never played System Shock before. I had heard of it, thought it looked super interesting, but was afraid the 90s control scheme would put a sour taste in my mouth. Well after watching Mandalore's video on this, and taking some of his recommendations on how to approach it, the game is absolutely brilliant. Once you get used to the controls everything starts to make sense, and feels fairly fluid. The story so far is pretty cool. primarily told through logs, and journal entries. You get a sense of how Shodan took over Citadel, and how she plans to enact her extermination of humanity. You play as a hacker working your way through Citadel base trying to stop Shodan. However you won't get any objective markers, so you really need to pay attention to the data logs, as those provide key insights into what to do, and how to stop the rogue AI. Gameplay wise, it's pretty good for the time I would say. Not perfect by modern standards, but if you are willing to look past that, it's pretty good. Combat consists of hitting them before they hit you, and trying not to get hit, at least for now. I believe there are some cybernetics down the line that I can get that will change that dramatically. Presentation is actually very good. I think it looks really vibrant, and not as grim as a lot of games in the future would look. Areas are very distinguishable, so everywhere has a bit of a different feel. The sprites are good looking, and overall I can't complain. The game goes on sale quite a bit I think so you can grab it for a couple bucks, if you're patient for a sale.. Otherwise go ahead and give it a go, even if you have never played it before. In 2021 it still holds up, and is good fun.
