System Shock

System Shock is a 1994 action-adventure first-person shooter for MS-DOS, macOS, and Microsoft Windows for the Enhanced Edition. Developed by Looking Glass Technologies and published by Origin Systems, it is the first in the influential System Shock series.

A remake of the game will be released in 2021 for Windows, macOS, Linux, the PlayStation 4, and the Xbox One.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It has an interesting story about a hacker on Citadel Station trying to stop a rouge artificial intelligence known as SHODAN, which is told through audio logs he can find throughout the station.
 * 2) Some frightening moments like the blood graffiti on the walls.
 * 3) The player can go into cyberspace to get some items to progress or defeat enemies.
 * 4) Being an immersive sim, players can complete objectives in whichever way they see fit.
 * 5) A badass soundtrack composed by Greg LoPiccolo and Tim Ries will keep players both on your toes and engaged.
 * 6) Players can change the difficulty of the enemies, the puzzles, the story and cyberspace giving them some replay value.
 * 7) There are three endings in the game as opposed to one in most games during the time period.
 * 8) SHODAN herself is a magnificent villain because of her iconic voice, distaste of humans, her god complex and plan to make a new world she can rule.
 * 9) The Enhanced Edition adds full mouse control, HD textures and higher resolutions such as 1920x1080.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It's not a game for everybody because they need to replay it multiple times to get the hang of it.
 * 2) The controls can be too complicated with the point and click perspective and some weird crouching and leaning.
