SHODAN is completely, transparently bonkers, inflicted with the delusion that she is a god and delightfully obsessed with both herself and her often extremely bad plans. ![]() ![]() Evil artificial intelligences can often be depicted as cold, calculating super geniuses – SHODAN isn't that. We love SHODAN for this, because she's just so delightfully unnerving while she does it. So, naturally, SHODAN has chopped everyone into bits and stitched them back together as horrible cyborgs, made her own strain of a world-ending mutagenic virus complete with freaky mutants, and now wants to export her godlike divinity to Earth proper. Your Hacker and their military-grade neural implant are responsible for the significantly degraded situation here, having disabled the AI SHODAN's ethical limitations. Nominally a shooter, System Shock is more about exploring the labyrinth that is the TriOptimum corporation's Citadel space station than any combat that takes place within it. Nightdive Studios has done masterful work with this 2023 remake, taking a fantastic game that the years have made hard to play and updating it with modern conveniences that will let it be enjoyed for decades to come. System Shock pioneered so many first-person shooter concepts back in 1994 that now feel fundamental, simultaneously paving the way for the entire immersive sim genre. The System Shock Steam demo is to still be available, if you want to take a peek at the game before deciding to buy it or not.Trapped in a hell he helped make, a lone hacker aboard a space station far from home sneaks and fights his way through horrible mutants and killer robots in order to take down the monstrous artificial intelligence behind it all: SHODAN, one of the all-time great gaming villains. If you do not have fond/terrifying memories of the original System Shock then check out this look at the evolution of the game over it’s three incarnations. We had to write the numbers down and then enter them manually in game, and as Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN says, we bloody well liked it that way. You will also want to grab a notepad, back in the good old days games didn’t automatically enter in codes to keypads once you heard what the digits were. The respawns are not necessarily the original ones you encountered, which is good as the game will force you to retrace your steps. This can sometimes be quite a shock as you try to return to a safe area only to find it overrun again, especially if you aren’t hoarding every bullet and health item you possibly can. You are outnumbered and outgunned, especially considering SHODAN has a large stock of bodies to reanimate to refill rooms behind you. The gameplay is as unforgiving as the original, and your stress levels while playing the game will reflect this. This definitely adds a retro feel without ruining the polished look of the game. ![]() They did so in a very interesting way, while your pipe might be shiny and reflective, there are many assets that retain a pixelated look if you examine them closely. The news is good, and Nightdive Studios kept the same old school feeling, while modernizing the graphics to appeal to our current sensitivities. The day finally came, and the re-envisioned System Shock has arrived, albeit with some issues getting codes to the original Kickstarter backers. ![]() Old And New Blended Into An Unforgiving Experience ![]()
