No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Well-made remake.
Successful and clean graphic interface.
Crazy and atypical graphic style.
Enveloping and even unsettling atmosphere.
A somewhat outdated feeling in charge: one must adapt quickly.


Long-time fans will immediately feel at home.
Difficulties not to be taken lightly.
Essentially "latest generation".
[8.8/10] reviewed at 20/05/2024 - System Shock Recensione: nel cuore del cyberspazio [read the full review on GamesVillage]


Intelligent technical redesign.
The atmospheres are all there.
Too basic, even for a remake of this kind.


Many secrets for clever players
difficult riddles
An exceptional retro look with new modern elements.
Close combat is a bit heavy.
Inventory management with the controller is rather laborious.


The graphic style is unique...
...but sometimes it sounds a bit off.


Varied weaponry that feeds into the game's resource management system
Difficulty tuned for existing fans


Intriguing story.
An incredible setting that gives the impression of being a real place.
SHODAN as the ultimate "bad girl".
Interesting and attractive presentation.
The endless exploration of the Citadel station.

The sections of cyberspace are becoming boring.


A skillful blend of contemporary visuals with those of the past
Possibility to modify each difficulty element to have the desired experience


Manual gameplay
Below average fights


Its new graphic and visual aspect
His level of immersion and exploration.
SHODAN, you either love her or hate her, she is spectacular.
It is a demanding game and it is wonderful.
The fight feels awkward.
The menu and some of its options appear outdated.
It can easily be overshadowed by more current proposals.


Visual transformed
Immersive sound track
Customization of difficulty
Absence of more modern elements
Plastered combat


SHODAN & her minions are terrifying
Exploration, puzzle-solving, & combat feel good
Every new tool feels like a satisfying addition to your kit
Environments are very well upgraded from the original
You can arrange the difficulty by segments of the game
Reused models for corpses is a little silly
Map can be confusing and difficult to follow
Not optimized for gamepads

A graphic design that is unique in its own way, yet pleasing to the eye, and does not appear to be exaggerated.
Harmonious soundtrack
The non-linear gameplay allows for a lot of freedom.
Cool antagonist
technically almost free of errors
Individual determination of possible difficulty.
Perfectly captured retro science-fiction vibrations.
strong story
Varied riddles and excursions into cyberspace.
Boring flashback
lack of landmarks / lack of orientation signs
Partially opaque tasks.
only one English voice output (German texts)
The opponents look visually similar and are rather obtuse.
Repetitive fights and explorations.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.


Love-hate for SHODAN
A faithful remake
Respawning enemies can be annoying at times.


Captivating story

The gameplay has aged very well
Long life, fun and captivating
Final confrontation a bit weak


SHODAN is still an all-time great villain
The intense exploration and combat still work incredibly well in modern times.
Maze-like level design won?t be for everyone.

Innovative design
Effective lighting
Lots of modern options
Textures are simple
Unimpressive audio design


Excellent overall atmosphere.
Graphically very intriguing...
Relatively short


All the charm of 90s FPS...
A true pillar of the immersive sim genre
Gunplay has remained rooted thirty years ago
AI of the enemies too basic


Grand artistic style, which is both original and faithful to the classical title.
Its soundtrack is catchy and allows for total immersion.
Dialogues and descriptions somewhat artificial.
Presents both graphic and technical issues.


He offers original and always terrifying sets.
Terrible setback
It may be frustrating.


A great demonstration of emergent gameplay
Feels like the blueprint for the immersive sim
SHODAN earns her reputation
The lack of onboarding might turn off more casual fans
Cumbersome combat and enemy A.I.

No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


A remarkable soundtrack
A classic of the genre
Many additions
lack of clear objectives


What the game requires of the player: it is one of those titles that make us take notes.
It is very interesting to see in their raw state elements that have been the identity markers of modern video games.
Sometimes, it can be too complicated.
This can become repetitive in the last third of the adventure.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Improved controls that plays like a contemporary title
New enemies and areas to explore are welcome additions


SHODAN remains one of the best villains in video games.
At the technical level, there have been many improvements...
In the fight, this is where we notice the most that it is a game dating back several years.
Pipe puzzles and Cyberespace zones can become boring.


Updated modern controls and graphics, a more accessible version of System Shock
Intense gameplay moments once SHODAN is encountered
Very little guidance on how to play and what?s going on
Still feels dated without some modern quality-of-life improvements

Fastidiously accurate recreation of the original game
-
Unclear objectives and progression
-
Lacklustre combat


Forces you to pay attention
Smooth performance on PS5
Some fun puzzles
Tedious inventory management
Exploration doesn't always feel rewarding
Respawn system ruins suspense
No difficulty options mid-game


SHODAN is a compelling villain
Excellent voice acting
Unbalanced challenge
You will die... a lot


Some cool weapons
The story and the SHODAN A.I are reasons to give it a go
Enemies are unimaginative and generic
Environments are a slog to tread through


Cool as heck retro-modern reimagining of a classic
Junction puzzles
Decent storytelling via audio logs and comms
Combat mostly feels weightless and unsatisfying
Glitches & jank
Exploration is tedious


Improvements in controls and user interface are very welcome
Hacking minigames test the player's reflexes and puzzle-solving quite well
Advanced lightning and visuals substantially improve the horror atmosphere
Too little guidance regarding where and how to proceed
Dull busywork drags the game's pacing


Technically and graphically impeccable.
SHODAN is a delicious antagonist.
Designing complex levels
Modular difficulty levels
Attract hordes of stupid enemies towards you.
Weapons do not provide satisfaction.
Painful user interface with controller.
The segments of cyberspace are repugnant.
Puzzles not really intuitive.
Unreliable audio
Options far too limited to talk about "immersive simulation".

More explicit in action, more intuitive in gameplay and interface.

Challenging game
Play and visually close to the original.
repetitive game elements
The graphic style may seem outdated.
SHODAN is an extraordinary villain.
The graphs are correct, although they could be better.
The fact that you are not playing System Shock Remake right now.
