What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Plot is still mature and original for me.
System Shock's gameplay is by far its most memorable aspect.
It is still plausible to follow data logs and progress with decent 90s voice acting for my today's standards.
It is said that the game had impressive lighting and shadowing.
As the game runs in a sourceport , new default keybinds, and generally most of the clunk from the original game.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
