The only place where I heard a hint of the original music was on the reactor level with the unusual bass line. SHODAN's voice acting and over-the-top megalomaniac lines are a reason alone to play this thing.Īlso I wished they had remixed or brought back the old soundtrack. This might be a 'where the hell do I go' game for anyone who hasn't played it before. I liked the remake, and that the story and puzzles were faithful but I wonder if someone who wasn't a fan of the original would find it appealing. Large complicated maps, sometimes can feel a bit empty and comes with lots of backtracking. Inventory management UX could use some work. Combat can feel a bit dull, because it's mostly the same kind of combat as the 1994. Enemy AI is very simple and easy to exploit.

Buttons are often difficult to see on walls you might skip an area because you thought you cannot progress because you couldn't tell there's a button from clutter There's lots of junk items with (almost) no purpose that you can pick up. I was decent, but I think it was _too_ faithful to the original in some ways: I was a kid and could not read English and did not understand what's going but had tons of fun. The old System Shock was the first 3D game I played in my life.
