Colour me pleasantly surprised, i was not expecting to love this game as much as I did. The environment and atmosphere is done really well and i would of been blown away if i played this when it first came out. The controls took some getting used to but once i understood it I found myself enjoying it for what it was. Theirs not that much story but from I've learnt this was the first game to have a proper story told mainly through audio logs something that is still seen in Bioshock and prey etc so i found myself still enjoying it. Though it is quite funny after completing the game you really do see how and where every game after was so heavily inspired. The combat was very doom like so i enjoyed it lots of cool weapons. In effect if you don't mind playing older games i would definitely recommend giving this game a try, I'm definitely going to give its famous sequel a try soon.

One of the exemplars of classic gaming touched up for quality of life conveniences. Helpful tips: Save before firing the station laser. "E" toggles between mouse look and mouse cursor. And drop the music volume down to 50%. This is one of the most influential games of all time for a reason.

I’m captivated by how this creation still holds up after 30 years (even in its remastered form). An immersive sim-shooter set in its own isolated world (a spaceship, in this case), yet it feels like an open universe. I love how smoothly it plays, staying faithful to the formula it pioneered. It’s remarkable how its legacy continued through the BioShock and Dishonored series. As Ken Levine aptly put it, “the spirit of System Shock is this: the player drives the game, not the designer.” And even back in 1994, this game offered that freedom and a richly crafted world that we can still enjoy today.

An incredible game that is now much more playable thanks to Nightdive. I remember playing the original on a demo CD back when it was released. Alas I was too young at the time to understand that I was in the presence of greatness and never got into the series till the second game was released. Coming back to it with the remaster I was absolutely blown away by how playable it is 30 YEARS later. Despite its age IT STILL HOLDS UP. The horror, the sense of dread and desperation is still there fresh as the day it was released. Speaking of atmosphere, what an incredible soundtrack. Its one of the best ever created.. What a game. 30 years old and its a 10/10.
