Dec. 2024

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.

Nov. 2024

System Shock is one of the best games out there. If you can get over the initial hump of the dated, blocky graphics and the occasionally fiddly controls (which have been improved in the enhanced edition), it is an insanely investing atmospheric experience. Getting through each floor felt like a massive success, and figuring out the objectives through emails and notes was incredibly satisfying. The free aim system and leaning, while not always the most necessary functions, were still fun and added another layer of enjoyment for taking out enemies, and I've not seen it replicated anywhere else. The game itself is by no means brutal, either. System Shock has a reputation for being a clunky, unforgiving game from the past, but it's far from the truth. On default difficulty you're given infinite time and saves to play the game at your own pace with enemies that generally play fairly. Not to mention each floor has a rejuvenation chamber you can activate which will restore you to max health upon death and make you lose zero progress. On top of that, respawning cannon fodder enemies can drop an infinite amount of health patches and other goodies to make sure you're stocked on consumables. If the idea of working your way through a hostile space station piece by piece, triumphing over an all-seeing AI sounds fun to you, I'd say give it a shot. You're at least bound to appreciate all of the features and design that future games took from it.

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.

Aug. 2024

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.

March 2024

For coming out only a year after DOOM, System Shock has no business being this good. I did the entire thing start to finish without looking anything up, and it's probably the most immersive game I've ever played. Disregard any complaints about the controls being too complicated, the game is butter smooth with the remaster. The level design isn't bad either, if an idiot like me didn't get lost, you shouldn't either. 11/10
