System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster review
Our review of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Edition - a lovely game that's showing its age a bit.
Instead, it allows the ambient dread of the Von Braun to accumulate in your mind over time, until you have to close the game because you've seen one too many rictus-faced corpses, heard one too many audio logs of your crewmates gargling euphorically as they transform into monsters. The saucer-eyed stare of the midwives is intensified as it bores into you above their blooded, skeletal jawline, while protocol droids now deform as you shoot them, making their polite offers of assistance even more disturbing as they try to blow you to smithereens. Nonetheless, if you like your shooters brainy, your levels knotty, and your nightmares weird as hell, System Shock 2 still delivers in a way that's more accessible than ever thanks to Nightdive's sterling work.
