System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster Gameplay

Image

The System Shock® 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster offers a unique blend of first-person shooter, deep RPG mechanics, and survival horror. Players explore the derelict starship Von Braun, battling grotesque enemies with a mix of firearms, melee weapons, and psionic powers, all while managing extremely scarce resources like ammo and health.

At the heart of the System Shock 2 experience is its RPG progression. You select a character class—Marine, Navy, or OSA Agent—and use Cyber Modules to enhance your skills (combat, technical, or psionic) and attributes. This system supports a variety of playstyles, whether you prefer confrontation, stealth, or hacking.
