Grossly overrated
The game uses the problematic Unreal 4 engine, badly configured and without editable ini files that would allow the players to remedy some of the problems - worst of them being audio stuttering and hiccups on some configurations that make the game unplayable even on powerful configurations if you are unlucky. Refunded.

Extremely tedious game
This game makes you backtrack a lot. Be ready to drag back and forth in the same corridors for hours. I'm 18 hours in the game and have given up at the executive level. Finishing the groves was a chore. Now I have to fix a relay modulator and after spending an hour looking for the one broken modulator, I just can't play anymore. Stay away, it's not worth it.

What year is it?
The game very closely sticks to the original, 1994 game, so much, that it's essentially a remaster instead a remake, with a few QoL updates here and there. Even the Unreal engine is using somewhat pixelated textures to have the original aestetics. Having said that, you might as well just play the original game, with it's clunky combat, tedious inventory management, awful level design, and whatnot. They've kept almost everything from the original game, which is good if you want an almost perfect recreation of the 30 years old game, but bad if you want to play a decent game today. I was waiting for this, but it's a big disappointment.

Broken audio ruins it
In my own experience the audio is super choppy and noise-riddled. Audio is an integral part of the story & experience for this game. So until this is fixed I have wasted my money. I was very excited, as my introduction to the series was System Shock 2 (SS2) and I'd bought but never quite played SS1 in older forms. (This is the ONLY game or application having this problem despite updated drivers)
