I hereby subtitle System Shock (2023) ((1994)) (((2007))) NOT YOUR GRANNY'S METROID

Out of 9 play sessions, 6 of them ended with the game simply crashing and me going "well I'll see where my save was tomorrow". I'm not really a performance chud but I think that's a bit much. Also the finale was uh... don't worry about it

I didn't really expect to like this as much as I did, but it's kinda wild. I might even go back and play the 2 originals. The art design goes crazy hard and I want to pay a lady of the night to talk dirty to me in Shodan's voice. I think that'd be a good time. There's definitely a few things I think could have been thought through a bit more (the storage system for one) but it's just so well paced and constantly entertaining that I barely had time to be mad about it. For single player shooters it might just be my favorite. Don't tell the other 5 that exist though.

It's really almost more of an RPG than an FPS. There's more looting than shooting. That's not to say the gunplay isn't competent, it's definitely fine, there's just only so much you can do with 1994 enemy design, and the surrounding systems and environments do a lot of good to distract you from the fact that you've just fought 9 of the same dumbass robot.

Consider my system sh-.. uh.. sorry...
