Simply put, this is just System Shock with "relatively" modern gameplay. I said relatively because the game has clunky gameplay that doesn't feel like a 2023 game, it's definitely not on par with modern shooters (Of course not including shitfests like Cyberpunk). Not only that but also shitty AI, pixel-perfect jumps, lack of juice (except explosions those are great), enemies and grenades coming out of nowhere, etc hurts the game so much. The visuals are pretty good, I liked how they knew their limitations and went on with a "Retro x Modern" art style, and the sounds are decent enough. Level and puzzle designs are amazing but they're exactly the same as the original game and that makes me question the purpose of this remake, nearly everything worth mentioning about this is from the original. Still, considering the development hell this game has been through I think the team did a nice job with this but it could've been much better.
