System Shock

This is one of the best games I've played in ages. It's beautiful, combat feels good, sound is excellent - the works. My only reservation is that it is not as simple to keep track of things in this game as in most modern games. In Prey (another excellent game in this style), I have markers to follow. In System Shock, I really just have to remember what is said in the audio logs, etc. Perhaps, though, that's a blessing in disguise. It got me to turn off my podcast and pay attention. When I did that, I started having even more fun! I love System Shock. I can now see how it defined many of my favorites - Prey, BioShock, even Dishonored. I'm tempted to play the original as well, now!

Like the old game but better.

Nightdive does it again.

Takes the good stuff from the old and ads the good stuff from the new. Lovely remake.

Nightdive really knocked it out of the park. The first system shock is infamously rough to play so having this version that still stays true to the concept and feel was an absolute joy to experience.
