Prey 2017 is high up there as one of my favourite games of all time, so a remaster of what's essentially its grandfather works well for me. From what I understand Nightdive were as faithful as possible to the original which if that's the case then System Shock holds up pretty damn well in my opinion, love the labyrinthine design and exploration that's encouraged as well as plenty of enemy and weapon variety. The lack of any sort of waypoint or marker is something that threw me off at first but greatly enhances the game since I had a lot of fun trying to work out what to do and where to go, and the same goes for the story which was pretty engaging to piece together via audio logs etc. I also really dig the art style and pixelated graphics, just a really nice touch overall :)
