Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to Diego, a greedy Trioptium exec who bankrolls a rare cyberjack implant operation. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

System Shock: Enhanced Edition is praised by players for its impressive design that holds up remarkably well for a game from the early 1990s, featuring standout voice acting, music, and a satisfying Metroidvania-like progression system with a well-designed UI that enhances immersion.

Not recommended Aug 25, 2026
Don't get me wrong, I love System Shock, and Nightdive made a great port of it. However, 5 years ago, an update was pushed that makes the movement so choppy and weird it makes me feel kind of sick. In this amount of time, who knows how many others tried this for the first time and bounced off of it because of how awful it is to look at. It's a huge shame. I've been a part of the Discord some time prior and they have responded and know the issue exists. It really sucks to have Nightdive still do a lot of cool stuff, but disregard one of the games that got them established in the first place. If it weren't for Nightdive, I wouldn't have ever experienced System Shock. But it's also because of Nightdive that I can't enjoy this version anymore.

Good game, controls take a little bit to get used to. I like how you can switch between mouselook and moving the crosshair around your screen, both for interacting with the UI and for some precise shooting from behind cover. Speaking of the UI, it can be a bit intimidating for some first-timers, but it undoubtedly does a good job at making you *feel* like you're playing as a total geek, which you are. The way you progress through this game activated the Metroidvania neurons in my brain, which is probably another reason why I like this game so much. And as it turns out, this did come out a few years before SotN. Neat. Not finished with it just yet, but I have been enjoying it overall. Can't wait to get to 2. With this experience, I've also achieved newfound feelings of grief for SS3.
Recommended Aug 29, 2026
Pretty good rerelease of an old game. It does show its age in many ways like the HUD but still surprisingly modern in terms of design. Its not perfect but the hacking minigame is nowhere near as bad as everyone says in this rerelease.

The 2nd game definitely went crazier, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, if this isn't one solid ass game. 9/10.
