With brand-new visuals in HD, a better interface, and a new soundtrack, the game is modern enough but it also maintains the spirit of the classic. The new System Shock offers you the best of both worlds. Therefore, finding a balance between novelties and the classic gameplay experience is quite tough. Many years have passed and the world of video games and the preferences of the players have changed a lot. Looking forward to buying this for the third time - that shows how much I liked this game. Nobody is spending 50+ million to remake System Shock 1.

I think it's pretty safe to say this isn't a AAA release, regardless of quality. While the huge popularity of the game grants you the attention of the public, delivering a similar type of experience is quite difficult. Only time will tell whether it's AAA or not. Having the original System Shock as a foundation is as beneficial as troublesome. Developer Nightdive Studios has found the right formula for the new System Shock, a remake of the action-adventure title from 1994, which is a critically acclaimed cult game that is present in several halls of fame. Making an old cult game appealing to the public is not an easy task and there are plenty of ways of taking on such a challenge. We are used to seeing a lot of remakes and reboots of classic video games in recent times.
