This remaster was absolutely amazing and Nightdive Studios need to be given the original Deus Ex immediately.

For the love of God, please redo SS2 just like you did this.

I need to preface this review by stating that I am the Director of System Shock
I’ve had some time over the past few weeks to reflect on what has almost been a decade of my life working on this game and I couldn’t be more proud of what my team has accomplished - it’s a far cry from the Unity demo we released back in 2016, but this is the game we wanted to make. We made this as fans of the original and our one goal was to honor the legacy forged by Origin Systems and Looking Glass Studios - the legacy that can still be felt today in games like Deus Ex, Dishonored, Prey and countless others.
If you give System Shock a try my only hope is that you enjoy your time aboard Citadel Station.

It's pretty much what you'd expect a 1:1 modern remake to be. No 'reimagining', no 'for modern audiences', just a faithful recreation with a fresh coat of paint.
The vaporizing mechanic could use a quality of life update, like a vaporize all button or something, but that's about the only negative thing I can say about the game.

It's System Shock, except it doesn't feel like playing a flight simulator from the 90s and is much more polished.
It's still obtuse and expects you to compulsively hunt down logs and assemble fragments of information together on what your objectives actually are, and it will still mercilessly game over you for pushing buttons like a moron. Keep a notepad handy and remember to write down any numbers.
All in all, this is essentially the defining game of the Imsim genre. You should play it. Keep a notepad handy.

Oh look, someone did a remaster for a game that actually needed to be remastered.

Turns out the old folks were right, games have gotten worse
