System Shock 2023 (PC) Review


I waited a LONG time for this moment. Back in my high school days, I played the original title and loved every second... enough so that I was biting at the bit for the sequel and was given it as a b-day gift just before my first days of college. Yeah, my time with this franchise has been amazing, but even I had to recognize the original game did not age well. Releasing before we had a standard of how to use a mouse and keyboard together and trying to be as much a simulation as a game, the controls were clunky as hell, even for their day. Today, the original release would be nigh unplayable. So when Nightdive announced a kickstarter to remake the game, I was was excited! Don't get me wrong, Nightdive was as of yet untried and I was already watching people get nothing for their investments on this site, so I stayed on the sidelines, but I wanted to see this make it and bring the classic game to the modern gamers.

That was in 2016... seven years ago. Many years after it was expected, Nightdive delivered on their promise, and let me tell you right now, it was worth waiting for.

Noted Releases

We’ve been thinking here at the Red Sector, and while we clearly have spent time talking about current news in gaming and what might happen depending on how it goes, we spend shockingly little time in the Now of gaming. And with 2013 already exploding out of the gates, this is a bit of a shame. To remedy this, we are beginning two new series of articles. The first of which you are about to enjoy, as we go over the releases that caught our eye, for whatever reason. Some will be for good, others for bad, but all to give you a heads up on what we have seen. Now, without any further adieu, let’s see the releases of this week.
