System Shock Remake Launches - Fans Can Breathe a Sigh of Relief

System Shock Remake debuts on the market today. Gamers who expected a game faithful to the classic original will be pleased.

In a few hours, we will see the debut of System Shock, a remake of the iconic 1994 game that combined the RPG and FPS genres, becoming one of the prototypes of the immersive sim category.

  1. The game will make its debut today on PC at 5 p.m. CET.
  2. The game will be available for purchase on Steam, GOG.com and at Epic Games Store.
  3. Editions for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5 consoles are also planned, but they will be released at a later date.

It's worth mentioning that you still have a few hours to buy the game cheaper thanks to a disocunt on Fanatical. It only covers pre-orders, so if you are interested, we advise you to hurry.

Fans of one of the best games ever will be pleased

Quite a few reviews have already appeared on the web and most of them are positive. On OpenCritic, the game has an average rating of 74%.

In general, the reviews reveal a picture of an uncompromising remake, whose main priority is to faithfully reproduce the original. This results in a very high level of difficulty and a lack of facilities typical of modern games. The differences in the notes are mainly due to whether the editor in question liked this approach, or whether he hoped for greater changes.
