SHODAN has gone rogue, threatening to fire a devastating weapon at Earth, and it’s up to you to reach the evil AI and shut it down. Waking up six months later, after an induced coma, you find you’re the only living being left on Citadel Station. In a scene-setting intro, the character you play – an unnamed hacker living in a dystopian future city called New Atlanta – is arrested, transported to a space station called the Citadel Station and ordered to hack into SHODAN, the AI that controls the station, and remove its ethical protocols.
Again, it doesn’t feel as thrillingly fresh and innovative as that of the original game, but there’s a very good reason for that: every single element of its gameplay has been copied by several other games over the last three decades. Gameplay-wise, though, System Shock is beyond criticism. The remake is well-worth checking out on its own as well-our own Joshua Wolens called it "the definitive way to play System Shock in 2023 and beyond" in his review.There are other issues you soon encounter, such as the vaguely comical way in which the mutants you frequently have to dispatch lurch and stumble about, as well as their distinctly rudimentary character design.

"Patty the office manager, I think she asked me what the code was in System Shock," LeBlanc explained, "And she made it the door code for their actual office, which was crazy naive. It's been in the game for a long long time." LeBlanc went on to argue that 451's usage as Looking Glass' real life door code at its second office was itself a reference back to the game, and also, perhaps, a bit of a security risk. "The timeline is: we did that when the office was in Lexington, we did that as the code. "I know Warren said it wasn't, but it was. "For the record, it is a Ray Bradbury Reference," LeBlanc insisted when he encountered the canonical code's first use in System Shock.
