Everything about this game is so good except its ending. If your a Gothic fan you owe it to yourself to play this.
Review: System Shock Remake The System Shock remake is a masterclass in revitalizing a classic. Nightdive Studios has seamlessly blended retro sci-fi horror with modern design, preserving the eerie atmosphere and cerebral gameplay that made the original legendary. From the chilling voice of SHODAN to the richly reimagined Citadel Station, every element oozes style and tension. It's not just a remake, it’s a resurrection, executed with reverence and precision. For fans of immersive sims or sci-fi horror, this is essential gaming.
This was written after the 1.0.3 Patch After this patch (my) crashing issues have been mostly resolved but performance is still very spotty without mods. I dont have the highest specs around but Idont normally run into performance issues like this game has. I7-9700K 64GB RAM DDR4 3200 MT/s RTX 4070 2TB SSD *All this gives me a very unstable experience with my FPS fluctuating between 40-60 fps* The game is fun and feels refreshing even after years of playing the original trilogy and Anomaly. There are a ton of well animated and directed cutscenes that will be a problem for some people but I personally dont have an issue with this. The story is interesting and the English Dub while being "bad" really works for me in a "so bad its good" way. A-Life 2.0 is sadly "broken" at the time of writting this which is a huge bummer and a possible deal breaker for some. Its everything I wanted from a game series I desperately wanted to come back. I just wish performance was better and with time that could change.
Released back in 07 I played this on low settings at 20-25 fps. Behold the wonderous slav jank that is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Complete with constant stuttering, npcs floating up through cealings, items falling through the floor and graphics/animations that will make any modern gamer ALT-F4 with the eagerness of winning the lottery. I love it.
As the title says, you can now play the game offline! THANK YOU SO MUCH GOG!
Lack of polish during its launch along with unsatisfying endings dont stop this game from being what it is. Pushing graphics technology to the brink with fantastic gameplay and a strong narrative, Cyberpunk 2077 is still a masterpiece.
Enough said
A true gem of an indie game standing tall in the AAA arena.
A game so ahead of its time that it still manages to impress today.
