System Shock: Enhanced Edition also includes the classic 32-bit version of the game.
You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to Diego, a greedy Trioptium exec who bankrolls a rare cyberjack implant operation. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you.
Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror...
Exactly twenty one years after its first release, System Shock is back!
The Enhanced Edition adds a modern touch to this true classic gem, without taking anything from its unmistakable atmosphere.
See for yourself that the game that has been called the benchmark for intelligent first-person gaming, has lost nothing of its ability to keep you on the edge of your seat.
System Shock: Enhanced Edition features:
- Higher resolution support: up to 1024x768, and 854x480 widescreen mode.
- Mouselook support added.
- Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.
- Some original game bugs fixed.
Rocket through cyberspace to steal information, hack security and grapple with watchdog defense programs enslaved to a maniacal computer.
Survive battle after battle against armies of killer cyborgs and deadly robots as you collect hardware attachments, life-sustaining patches and deadly weapons to combat mindless mutants.
Test your intelligence by solving puzzles, rewiring access panels and outwitting SHODAN in its own cyber-realm.
Enjoy the vastly improved controls and graphics of the Enhanced Edition - or keep your experience as close to the original as possible with the Classic version.

It's worth a shot! Get out of a spaceship, taken by an evil AI and some monsters around every corner.
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.
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.
I've heard stories of System Shock from my earliest days as a gamer but never got around to trying it. I finally decided to give it a go, since I got it free from Twitch a while back. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it enough that I decided to buy it here on GOG just to support Night Dive's work in restoring this gem and bringing it to a more modern audience.
System Shock is often described as a cyberpunk game but I always thought it looked more like classic sci-fi. This is because unlike most cyberpunk fiction, this game takes place outside of earth. You're a hacker who got caught, was offered a deal and eventually ends up being abandoned on a space station after an AI goes rogue leading to a disaster. This sense of abandonment carries throughout the entire game: you're a heavily augmented hacker just trying to survive a nightmare scenario in a completely foreign environment while the environment is LITERALLY opposing you at every turn.
Talk about being ahead of its time. This game's gameplay very clearly inspired some of my favorite games. Every object on the station feels like it has a purpose, even if that purpose isn't related to you. Every piece of dialogue feels like a real person has left behind their final words (that also help tell the story in subtle ways). Every room you enter feels like it has a story to tell, even if that story is full of terror. System Shock isn't a horror game but it truly succeeds at creating some truly horrifying moments. A huge part of this is due to the game's impeccable atmosphere. Its combination of glorious 90s early 3D, a vibrant color palette and stellar level design creates such a dense, immersive atmosphere to it that is equally creepy and intriguing.
Altogether, I see now why everyone praises this game so much. It's a must-play for people who love sci-fi/cyberpunk and detailed, immersive worlds full of exploration and mystery. If you've ever enjoyed an immersive sim, you have to play this game!
All the QLF improvements are here. Completely playable and enjoyable for the modern gamer. The problem with most of these old games is that they are so difficult to play now on modern systems and for the modern gamer. This EE version of the original System Shock makes enjoying this classic a breeze. There are so many other older classics like this that could use this type of update (Ultima Underworld games come to mind).
