Probably the greatest game ever made....

1. Best Game Story EVER... The intro cutscene is SHOCKingly enthralling, even now - never mind for 1994. As a superfan once said... "You do a cut-and-paste job on the AI and everything goes pear-shaped... Shodan has gone completely insane making HAL look like a grumpy lollypop lady." That's the thing - hundreds of people have died in the most horrible manner - and it's YOUR fault. Humanity is about to become extinct - and it's YOUR fault. 2. Best Baddie EVER... Shodan taunts you, Shodan threatens you, Shodan tells you she knows what you're up to... hell, She even invites you to a party if you inadvertently destroy the Earth! No other endgame boss has ever been like this, and it's still rare to find any of these tension-raising devices these days. 3. Best Tech Advance EVER... This was the first six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) first person shooter ever made. Commonly perceived reality has three rotational components (look up/down, look left/right, and roll left/right) and three translational components (x and y positions on a 2D map, and a z position for the vertical position of your head). By being the first to add a Lean Left/Right and Prone/Crouch/Stand commands Looking Glass gave us the first true 6DOF FPS. 4. Best Exposition EVER... The audio logs are a stroke of pure utter genius. To listen to the pain & suffering of people who've just seen their best friend killed or transformed into some kind of monster (all while you're are exploring or fighting) is possibly System Shock's greatest gift to posterity. 5. Most Squeamish Moment EVER... I don't want to post any serious spoilers, but at one point you have to go searching for someone's severed head - on a space station composed of nine levels full of body parts!!! I had five more but I ran out of space :)

Spaceship dungeon

It is a good game but it gets soon claustrophobic, repetitive and boring. Once you have seen level 1 you have seen them all and there are like 7 levels. It looks like a difficult game at first but soon you will realize it is just a simple shooter that forces you to search everything to get a new gun, ammo or a healthkit which is after a while just annoying routine. It is not that interesting to explore the ship. From that era I would recommend Realms of Hauntig instead. That offers more fun with more variety of levels and a much better story.

Immersive sim 101

What can I say about System Shock that hasn't been said over the years? Whilst yes, the 2023 remake might play better, the original version (included in this package) does have some appeal today despite the antiquated control scheme (you'll get used to it after the first mission) since every action takes time, you don't instantly crouch, leaning takes time and leaves you vulnerable if you poke out too long, and reloading your weapons often isn't as fast as changing weapons from your inventory. What this does is encourages the player to take a methodical approach till they unlock the opportunity to respawn in the stage, decide on what weapons you should carry/what ammo to use, and how fast you should do something (my advice is play the game at 2222 for start then try your hand at 3333); essentially the groundwork for almost all immersive sim games. To finish up this 'review', play System Shock before you play the remake, you'll find it difficult at first but underneath the clunky controls sits a well-rounded sci-fi story which you, to a limited capacity, shape each playthrough. (FYI for Mac or Linux users, Shockolate source port will work with the files in the /res folder of the classic install if you can't get your system to run Enhanced Edition)

It's good

I'm about 60-70% through the game and i'm enjoying it quite a bit, I imagine the sequel to this is less aged in terms of gameplay and will result in me being more immersed. Still a great game none the less!

Good game- sadly publishers is an issue.

The game itself is charming and a milestone. You can see it as a predecessor of the Thief-Series, DeusEx (the first) and BioShock. Manipulating and acting with and within the world / levels are quite amazin for a game of that age. The enemies and (if you like to have it enabled) the time pressure is challeging and will give you quite some fear and feel of loneliness. Graphics are very dated, if you cant handle that maybe better get System Shock 2 or Bioshock instead. Sadly I just read about that whole "System Shock Portable" Stuff and about what the new Publisher "Nightdive Studios" did. The same guys own System Shock 2 now, as well as Turkok and want you to pay 20 (!) Euros for the first Turok. I don't think one should support such business strategy, sadly they already got my money. After all its your choice and if you can handle the graphics and the publisher or you already played Thief 1/2, Deus Ex 1 or SystemShock 2 / Bioshock and liked that games you should watch some youtube videos about it or give it at try immediately.
