Does it hold up?

bioshock you fucking dunce

Don't let the dated look put you off playing System Shock 1. If you liked 2, you'll learn to love the first game, and the controls are a non-issue on the remaster.

and imo it's best to play SS1 on lvl 3 for all the difficulties except mission (lvl 2). You can respawn indefinitely at no cost in SS1 except Mission 3, where you have to finish the game in 7 real time hours with a 10-15 min time penalty on each respawn.

After you tag the conversion chambers on each level

bioshock was a great game on its own but as a representative of the "shock" label it was retarded. SS2 will always be the real deal.

it holds up yes, probably easier to get into for zoomies compared to the original game just because it functions more like a traditional fps
but it wasn't as good as the games made before it, which is pretty unfair since that's Ultima underworld, SS1 and thief

It's the spiritual successor to SS2, that's why they used it.

Not him, it was promised to be but Levine cucked out and turned it into a console shooter. It was a huge betrayal, many have not forgiven him.

if any modern game can call itself the spiritual successor to System Shock 2, it is most definitely Prey
and it does an amazing job at bringing the setting and gameplay into the modern age
