It's up to you to find a way to survive and stop SHODAN. The station is a mess, filled with angry robots, disturbing biomechanical monsters, and a whole lot of corpses. As soon as you wake up from your surgery, you discover that perhaps disabling the ethnics of an omnipresent AI was a bad idea. The offer is simple: Disable the ethical restraints of the station's AI, SHODAN, and you'll be given a new, top-of-the-line cybernetic implant as a reward.
During a routine hack, you are kidnapped and brought to Citadel Station. System Shock Remake puts you in the role of a nameless hacker in the distant future.
The result pairs much better with its (admittedly far more aged) sequel and highlights the strong moments of the original title. System Shock Remake is an attempt to bridge that gap by making something that feels and plays more modern than the original classic.
That didn't stop it from being one of the most influential, interesting and important games ever made it's a title that influenced games in both large and small ways for decades to come. I've felt that its predecessor, System Shock, aged a bit too much to be easy to play, and I'd usually skip it on replays and just jump to the sequel. It's an incredibly interesting and creative title, and it's a masterclass on how to make a game scary even with the rudimentary graphics of the '90s. System Shock 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
