The lore and vibe are still incredible, but the moment-to-moment gameplay can sadly be a downright slog. You'll already know if this remaster is for you, and I think you'll enjoy it if that's the case. Curious newbies should just watch a playthrough.

The touch of modernity offered by fifty trophies to unlock and a co-op multiplayer mode that supports cross play is excellent . All things considered, System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster has aged more than well , even if certain wrinkles cannot be hidden .
