System Shock

This is a fantastic remake of a classic game. Audio is outstanding, the vibe of the station sets a great sci-fi horror tone, and the graphics is this wonderful blend of retro and modern aesthetic. It stays true to the original with out tossing in numerous modern gaming tropes. Reveals the story slowly through environmental exploration and great voice acting with the numerous audio logs scattered all over. If you enjoyed other "immersive sims" or the more modern Shock games then you most certainly need to play the game that inspired and started it all. 10/10 great game, do yourself a favor and play this.

Shodan is back -- and she's never even been here, before. You are a Hacker, awakened from cryo-sleep & trapped aboard the orbital Citadel Station. Re-experience the groundbreaking horror FPS/RPG.

Душное говно, мне понравилось, рекомендую.

хорошая игра

[h1]The God of Hot Air and Disappointment[/h1] TL;DR: An interesting remake that suffers from staying it too true to the source material.[hr][/hr]I had never played the original [i]System Shock[/i] going into this remake, only its sequel [i]System Shock 2[/i]. I’m impressed by many things about this game, but after about 18 hours of poking around Citadel Station, I realized that I’m just not having fun, and I’m calling it quits. At first I was really taken with this game’s visual style; it’s a cool mix of high-poly and low res that just works. The problem becomes that in an attempt to capture a neon-future aesthetic, the designers have bedazzled nearly every room with blinking lights and textural details to the point that items get lost in the visual clutter. The lighting is great, but it becomes tough to spot enemies’ blinking lights in the shadows amidst the Las Vegas strip of random consoles and walls around them. The cyberspace portions have a charming 90’s retro-future vibe that looks like it came out of one of those primitive pre-rendered psychedelic videos with jazz (if your dad was a nerd, you know what I’m talking about), but they pull you out of the game, and you only know why you did them [b]after[/b] you complete them successfully. I don’t enjoy shooters for their own sake, and so much of System Shock boils down to figuring out which guns are worth your precious inventory space, and trying to balance your capabilities against both organic and robotic threats. It’s fine for what it is, but it just never gelled. The game seems stuck in some weird middle-place where it can’t fully commit to being a solid shooter or a tense survival horror. You can, and probably should, clear all enemies, but they feel spongy and the evil AI running the show can just make more baddies. They can literally pop up from below-deck elevators right behind you, meaning your ability to generate safe spaces is always in question. That could be a strength, but the game’s lack of any kind of guidance leaves you wandering the same spaces repeatedly, looking for something you missed, and the maps are confusing, twisted, and annoying to navigate. They lampshade this in one of the voicelogs, with a crew member saying they found proof that the company was intentionally stressing them via the design of the station to study their reactions. Cool, so you knew you were doing it… that doesn’t make it fun to actually experience, though. I like exploration in games, and I appreciate when a game doesn’t label exactly where on the map you need to go next, but System Shock is content to let you flounder completely. Unless you’re paying attention to every voice recording and email you come across (which are both easy to miss amidst the glitz), you will have zero idea what you are supposed to be doing. I cleared multiple decks looking for my next objective, only to realize (when I looked at a guide) that I’d missed what I was supposed to be doing and had to backtrack for hours. A journal system that at least tracks the broad strokes of what your character is hoping to accomplish and which deck they think they’ll need to visit in order to accomplish them would be a vast improvement. The only real draw here is the antagonist. I remember SHODAN as a world-class villain in the sequel, but it’s been a long time since an angry AI (even one with a great voice performance) and creepy audio effects was enough to actually be spooky. Every time I heard her bloviating about being a new god, it just made me wonder why she didn’t cut life support to the deck I was clearly mucking around on. Instead, she came off looking like a windbag as I disarmed the station’s weapons and plowed through her minions. I’d love to recommend this game, but I can’t. It feels like they updated the graphics and audio without actually modernizing the game. We’ve come a long way from the confusing garbage that you could get away with in the 90's (trust me, I experienced more than my fair share of it), and there’s no reason not to add some of the quality-of-life improvements that gamers now take for granted. If you’re afraid that it’ll ruin the feel of the original, make them available to turn on and off modularly. Don’t leave them out entirely, or like this game, you may wind up with an in-between remake / remaster that just is not fun enough to be worth completing.

This game is incredible and I'm in love. 90s dungeon crawler remake down to kinda being "turn based fps" more than cover shooter. Be ready to note stuff down. Challenging but worth it, looks stunning, runs well. Only bug to sour this is sometimes the audio buzzes
