The System Shock remake arrives on consoles with its retro modern magic intact


John Linneman investigates the new System Shock remake. It was a brilliant PC release, so how does it transition to current-gen consoles like Series X and PS5?

Nightdive also continues their trend of offering keyboard and mouse support on their console releases, so you're free to plug in PC peripherals if you prefer - even on last-gen machines. That feeling of making your way through a new area for the first time, low on ammo and health, carefully rummaging through containers and offices in search of clues and supplies, using every tool in your inventory to bypass difficult foes - it's amazing. I recommend trying System Shock if you're a fan of this kind of shooter, and thankfully every version of the game is is perfectly solid - so you ought to have a good time no matter where you're playing it.
