System Shock

  • Sci-fi
  • Immersive sim
  • Exploration

A remake of the 1994 classic: you explore Citadel Station, taken over by the AI SHODAN, with little guidance and following clues from audio logs; you fight mutants and cyborgs, manage a limited inventory and jack into cyberspace.

Why play it now

When you have time for 15 to 20 hours in a maze-like station that you explore with little guidance.

Who it's for

For anyone after oppressive-atmosphere sci-fi with a memorable villain, the AI SHODAN.

When not to pick it

If you hate getting lost: there's no objectives log and only the easy difficulty marks the way.

What it offers

  • Exploring: 85 out of 100
  • Story: 65 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 60 out of 100
  • Thinking: 60 out of 100
  • Managing: 35 out of 100
