Critic Reviews for System Shock (2023)
System Shock deftly returns a classic immersive shooter to its place on top of the heap, updated for nearly anyone to enjoy.
It might be a little conservative, but this is a smart, faithful remake and easily the de facto way to play System Shock in the modern era.
A remake that closely follows the original classic, with a slightly different overall effect.
Not the high-end remake that some fans would have been hoping for but even as a, at times, too faithful remaster this is a fascinating second look at one of gaming's great unsung heroes.
An oddly pitched remake that has its moments but adds very little to the original beyond a visual upgrade
A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.
If only for the historical value of the original, it is worth trying. Its non-linear gameplay can choke for some players, but if you're into challenges, here's a curious incentive.
