System Shock

Epic game

Got it 239 years ago on kickstarter. Loved the second game. But could never get into the first one, as it was veeery outdated even back then already. Now with the remake, i realize how tiny and thin ss2 is, compared to the first title. Still, both manage to capture the same unique atmosphere. Btw, with its modern graphics, ss is an absolute blast in VR (modded).

If you liked original - its great. Otherwise its 4.5/5 as a semi scifi horror/thriller.,

10/10 all killer no filler. You need to give it a chance, it's been updated for a modern audience, the controls feels responsive, didn't find any bugs at the moment.

I am really system shocked and pleasantly surprised that this is really the System Shock I played years ago but better looking, more enjoyable with a ragdoll physics system, really good looking graphics and lighting but with a stylized pixel look if you examine closely. The interaction animations and the intro being playable really took me back to that time that I wished I saw that Blade Runner city from the intro myself and it allows you now! Ok, from far away but you can check another childhood fantasy. Gameplay is challenging and really tense sometimes yet it is familiar from both System Shock and it's younger brothers, the Bioshock series. Any players from both of them will feel right at home. Even the new color pallette is remniscent of first Bioshock and System Shock together. Absolute joy to play and a diamond among the stinking pile of would be "remakes" which ar a hundred times worse than originals, even in graphics. A good old game resurrected for our new era of proper gaming, yet to come with the aid of GoG. Buy it and store it DRM free for your future generation!
