System Shock Remake Review - The Final Verdict
1,281System Shock is one of the most important games in history, kicking off the immersive sim as the genre we know today. The remake does an incredible job of bringing System Shock to a modern gaming audience, and while its slavish devotion to being as faithful as possible to the original might have some drawbacks—I still don’t like the maze-like layout of the game’s levels—it still does a great job of being the best way to experience System Shock.
The System Shock remake is the best way to experience the original System Shock in all of its glory. While the remake might be faithful to the original to a fault, the changes it introduces—like the modernized interface and controls—are a welcome change and make System Shock an absolute joy to play.
