There's not much I could add to System Shock 2's long, successful critical tenure. It's the game we all know and love, but in its best edition yet. Crucially, it comes with full support for all modern amenities and with a mod staging option, to boot. Its only downside truly is the fact that it's not a full-on remake, and that's hardly a downside at all.

System Shock 2 is an all-time great, easily one of the most important games of all time, and Nightdive’s 25th Anniversary Remaster edition makes it a touch more accessible without ever gutting its core, or anything that made it so cherished in the first place. The excellent core gameplay and stellar level design come together for an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the fact it works shockingly well on a controller is already something worthy of a medal of honor for the studio.

Nightdive Studios is known for restoring classic games, but System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster may be their magnum opus. Return to the Von Braun System Shock 2 wasn’t just a perfect sequel; it became one of the most influential games.
