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.

A sensational remaster of one of the greatest games ever made. 4.5 SHODAN Stopper Fresh off their phenomenal remake of System Shock, the best remastering house in the biz, Nightdive Studios, is back with a superb remaster of its legendary sequel, System Shock 2. Very much made in the Ghostbusters 2 mould of being a semi-remake of the original, System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster opens with your character once again awaking from cryosleep to find that the ship’s been overrun by murderous mutants and robots directed by a maniacal AI. Much like their recent Quake 2 and Turok 3 remasters, Nightdive has decided to employ a fairly light touch on System Shock 2.

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.

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.
