I played the System Shock remake last year and it's impressive. Too bad I forgot about it.
Same great gameplay but there are caveats. For one, players cannot mantle on furniture or anything like in the first one. I hope they updated this game because I experienced glitches out of the wazoo. There was one time I got stuck in a room and couldn't leave the stupid cyborg regeneration chamber. But still players can listen to audio logs, become scared, shoot, lean, hack, solve puzzles, go through cyberspace. Citadel station is so open and huge it's easy to get lost!
There are so many weapons and fauxs to choose from. But rush not, our player character will lose wind quickly.
The graphics where a big step up. They aren't overly pixelated. They are still pixelated but you see you have a full 3D world with fully 3D graphics and enemies. Very shiny and high poly full of special effects but I feel like any realism was lost in this remake. In the original it felt more grounded because was is our play character flipping off people and stuff? What's with all these sassy animations? I miss feeling like a Rescue ranger.
The music in this game is gone. There is none more of it. Just vague atmosphere. That's nice but I miss the campy music.
Anyway, you still get the same fun video game from 30 years ago. Oh Jeez.
