System shock remake is everything I hoped it would be (and more). As a fan of the original SS it was an absolute joy to see just how faithful the remake is. However, I must admit this faithfulness and i'm assuming a lack of development time for later parts of the game cause it to fall flat a bit near the end. Both games suffer from combat balance issues that cause frustration. I hope that the fixes that Nightdive brings to the ending bring with it some combat re balancing because this game truly deserves to end on a high note. I was absolutely enthralled with the game up until the last few levels. This game is a little overly faithful imo and even after playing the original twice I still forgot some of the objectives. If you're used to games that hold your hand then system shock might be a tough swallow. However, if you let yourself get immersed and have patience to explore everything, then system shock is incredibly rewarding.
