Out of the gate, we are kidnapped by some corporate douchebag so that we can release an AI from its ethical restraints. We are hacker, interloper, insect, or whatever other moniker SHODAN decides to give us. Anyway, aside from System Shock‘s monumental contributions to current gaming, how does it hold up? Looking Glass Studios may be one of the most underrated, undeservedly forgotten companies in gaming, full stop. Several of today’s games allegedly owe their creation to the impact System Shock made on current developers. Part of the reason I wanted to review this game is because it’s absolutely historic. Make no mistake: this is a remaster in almost every respect except for a few quality-of-life touch-ups, at least based on what I’ve seen of the first game.
These geology metaphors doing it for you? Well, they shouldn’t because the System Shock remaster takes place entirely on a space station. For those of us who’ve played System Shock, the Richter scale may be a digit or two higher. If you’re anything like Stephen Hawking, artificial intelligence quakes you.
