System Reshock Might Be The Best Remake Ever Made
So I've been waiting for this game for the past 5 years and I almost gave up on the idea of it ever seeing the light of day.
When the game finally released I just could not lower my expectations and even with such high expectations the remake blew me away.
The art style of this game is top notch and actually genius, the highly detailed pixelated texture is compressed so well that this 20+ hours game sits still at a roughly 8 gigs of space which is insane especially in our day and age.
Citadel Station is one of the best maps in gaming history and seeing it in action in the remake was a JOY to me
Also the sound design is nuts and very impactful, you can tell when a shot had a huge impact on the enemy or not which bring me to the next topic, the unique dismemberment system
Nightdive Studios has made it's own dismemberment system for this game and man it's insanely satisfying to tear apart pieces off of mutants, robots or just any abomination that is featured in this game making in the process a huge salad of meat and blood on the ground.
All in all it's not perfect, it has some minor flaws that can be fixed with future patches
but imo it even overshadows the original 1994's system shock and for that reason System Reshock is a masterclass of the dungeon crawler immersive sim genre and overall it's one of the best games that I've ever played and my personal pick for 2023's GOTY
9-9.5/10
