System Shock has stood the test of time, as evidenced by this remake that didn’t have to try too hard to update core features to bring it closer to today’s gamers. If you’re coming from the original, the visuals will take a while, but in terms of gameplay, the experience will remain the same. Dive into history is given throughout the experience as you hack and fight rogue AI to save the Earth as an authentic 90s sci-fi hero.

Despite a few shortcomings, the new System Shock is an exemplary remake. Nightdive managed to get rid of almost everything that made the original game inaccessible, while maintaining its unique personality. However, this game is not for everyone – you need to forget almost everything that games have taught us over the past ten years.

Worth playing
System Shock Remake is a solid remake of an exceptional game. It doesn’t quite reach the level of modernization you might see in Resident Evil 4 Remake, for example, but it does a good job of adapting a classic without losing what made it a classic. It’s a smart and creative game that deserves its place in gaming history, and the remake only adds to that.

It might be a little conservative, but it’s a smart and faithful remake that’s the de facto best way to play System Shock in the modern age.

System Shock was the basis for many of the games that came after it, but its gameplay and visuals are outdated like milk. Nightdive’s remake of System Shock retains most of its successful elements while removing many of the archaic issues that could have killed a modern game.

If only because of the historical value of the original, the novelty is definitely worth a try. Its non-linear gameplay may lull some players to sleep, but if you enjoy challenges, you might find interesting motivation here.

System Shock is a retro survival horror through and through, unforgiving and true to the classic experience, but you should still consider giving it a try even if you’re not interested in the original game.

System Shock Remake is the best way to play the classic first-person PC game in the modern age. However, it still clung to somewhat outdated mechanics that would frustrate newcomers.

System Shock is a reworked classic with outdated elements in need of improvement, but despite everything, it is still a pleasure for fans of immersive simulations.

A visually stunning yet overly accurate reconstruction of a cult classic thwarted by devotion to the original.

An odd remake that has its moments but adds little to the original other than visual enhancement.

Nightdive’s System Shock remake is a strange game, and whether or not you enjoy it may largely depend on your nostalgia for the gaming era it hails from. This remake is still showing its age despite the new graphics and controls. If you don’t mind the sometimes killer difficulty, lots of throwbacks, and minimal guidance, System Shock could be an exciting piece of gaming history worth checking out.
