   Great remake overall, brings back many good memories from the OG System Shock.

   A glorious blast from the past and probably the best maze crawler game to date. It's hard, always keeps you on your toes and **** slaps youA glorious blast from the past and probably the best maze crawler game to date. It's hard, always keeps you on your toes and **** slaps you every time you begin to trust it, and that's exactly how such games should feel and play. It's not a kind of a game where developers holding player's hand all the time and keep him entertained (sorry, if you want *that* kind of experience, go to call of duty). No matter how big your arsenal is or how many resources do you have, you can be beaten down to last clip and 5 hp any time. You are a lab rat in a maze that wants you dead, and all you can do is to survive, adapt and destroy it from within. Such hostile gameplay feels fresh, especially for a game that looks like AAA (ok, maybe it's rather AA,but still). On a technical level the game is still rough here and there. Sometimes it's glitching pixelated textures, sometimes AI acts dumb, but nothing gamebreaking, and lets face it, it's quite rare these days.
   
   In my opinion the game totally worth the money and time spent. Even if you aren't a big fan of the genre, give it a try anyway. It's a unique classic experience in a modern wrapper, and brings you back to the times where the main priority was the player's experience, not shareholders profits.… Expand

   Excellent remaster.
   Smooth, mordern and absolutely respectful of the original game.

But in a modern context, it's hard to recommend. The biggest problem being that, while the graphics were updated, almost nothing about the gameplay was. It's still a confusing mess at times, and the combat is still far from enjoyable.… Expand

   QOL in games has come a long way since the 90s, and this remake misses the opportunity to improve the game in ways that it really should have.QOL in games has come a long way since the 90s, and this remake misses the opportunity to improve the game in ways that it really should have. For example, how are you supposed to know that you should be noting down random digits that you find in the world or what their significance is? Why is there no clue what random switches do when you press them? These things aren't "dated" design, they are and always have been *bad* design.
   
   The cyberspace minigame gets old really fast. I was over it the second time I had to do it.
   
   Combat feels awful, there's no feedback whenever you hit anything. There's no clue how much damage you are dealing, if you are even dealing any at all.
   
   It kept me interested for about 10 hours but I really just can't be bothered with this game, it's too much effort.… Expand
