#SYSTEM SHOCK 2 NEXUS SERIES#

Thanks to Night Dive, modern gamers can finally experience this groundbreaking series from the beginning.

Its sequel System Shock 2 heavily inspired the Dead Space and Bioshock series, and I personally feel that Shock 2 is vastly superior to the Bioshock games in many respects, particularly its mastery of horror. I've wanted to play it forever but getting it to run and play on modern hardware was a real hassle. It pioneered the FPS-RPG hybrid gameplay that would become staples of the Deus Ex and Bioshock games, but its convoluted controls and then-staggering system requirements doomed it to obscurity. When it arrived exactly 21 years ago on September 22nd 1994, System Shock was way ahead of its time-too far ahead, in fact. Night Dive is making a habit of resurrecting classic games, having already worked their magic on System Shock 2 and with a planned release of the first two Turok games in the works.
