Yeah, the remake was really good, but I’ll warn you, it’s pretty hard. Like, frustratingly hard. And if I remember you can’t change the difficulty mid-game, so you may just want to play it on easier difficulty.

Speaking of… anyone played the remake? Thinking of picking it up.

I think the only hard part is trying to figure out what you need to do next, which a walkthrough can help with, if you’re stuck. The combat and puzzles are challenging, but it wasn’t overly difficult, IMO.

Yup! I thought it was a really fun game. I didn’t play the original so I cannot comment on adherence to the source. But as a standalone game I really enjoyed my time with it.

I really enjoyed it. First game in a while that could scratch that Prey-itch.

I feel so heartbroken that I never got a sequel to Prey

One day we will get a spiritual successor.

Of the first? Yes! Its incredible. They did such a good job keeping the original game there with lovely new textures.
I haven’t the nostalgia of playing the original at release (or ever), but I really enjoyed System Shock Remake. You won’t regret it! It goes pretty cheap quite regularly on GOG, also

Thanks! I played the original on PC, but now due to lack of a rig, I’m on ps. It’s been just long enough that I’ve forgotten the details, but remember it was a good time. It’ll be like playing it for the first time all over again.

Let us know how you find it! I’d love to hear what you think, after such a long time between play-throughs!
