System Shock is one of the most influential games of the 90s, but its technical limitations and rough edges have made it difficult to revisit in the intervening 30 years. Nightdive Studios' remake of the game is now finally out, and judging by the reviews, it's a return to form, though it might stick a little too closely to the original's blueprint for true neophytes.

Over at GameSpot's sister site Metacritic, System Shock (2023) has a Metascore of 75, denoting generally favorite reviews. However, it's worth noting that 75 is the lowest possible score in that bracket, as a 74 would denote mixed or average reviews. In general, critics have praised the game's visual upgrade over the original, while noting that it does not overhaul the basic systems of the original as much as you might expect.

System Shock is now out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. It released on May 30 and costs $40. For more, check out the reviews linked below:
