System Shock
Publisher: Atari
System Shock is the fully fledged remake of the ground breaking original from 1994, combining cult gameplay with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface and all-new sounds & music; it even has the original voice actor of SHODAN, one of gaming’s most iconic villains. Witness the rebirth of one of the greatest and most influential games ever created.
The System Shock remake places you aboard Citadel Station, a space complex where the artificial intelligence SHODAN has turned against humanity. Alone, you must discover what happened and regain control of the compromised sectors.
Exploration combines combat, puzzles, audio logs and the search for shortcuts. Weapons, implants and tools let you choose a more direct or cautious approach, while enemies and traps make every new area dangerous.
We loved: Citadel Station and its layout to learn.
We liked: The equipment and approach choices.
Our favorite part: The remake modernizes the interface without losing the original’s spirit.
Our tip to help you: Listen to audio logs and check maps whenever possible. They provide clues about where to go and help you understand the station, especially when several levels begin to connect.
