ALT Screenshot from the PC Gamer article of Top 100 PC Games with System Shock (Remake) listed at #60. Article includes quotes from Ted Litchfield and Andy Chalk that read: Ted Litchfield: This is the best entry point into the entire 'Shock series in 2024, both System- and Bio-. The Remake may not have System Shock 2's creepy biological horror or Bioshock's high falutin' notions about Objectivism, but it's an incredible first person shooter whose cyberpunk aesthetic feels fresh even with the genre's overexposure. It's also a masterclass in how to remake a game, what to change, and what to leave alone. Andy Chalk: It broke my heart a little to let the System Shock remake be held up as 'Shock champion over the brilliance of System Shock 2, but Ted is right: This is the one to play right now. It's a brilliant remake of a groundbreaking immersive sim that feels as new and vital as any more recent additions to the genre.

Familiar corridors now look more forboding, the creatures more grotesque and there is of course all the original side distractions, but with a little 2023 tightening. Once again you step into the shoes of the mysterious Hacker that’s stuck on a stricken Space Station run by a sadistic and psychotic A.I called Shodan. The crews been cannibalized into Cyborgs and it’s up to you to save the day. The remake got a fair amount of praise from critics, scoring a 78 on Metacritic and coming with a hearty recommendation for System Shock fans both old and new alike.
