The latest update on the System Shock remake’s release window was shared in a blog post on the game’s Kickstarter page on January 2, 2023. Nightdive has put out a new Kickstarter update, targetting a release sometime in 2023, though a concrete release date has yet to be revealed. It turned into an absolutely amazing experience.Nightdive Studios’ top-to-bottom remake of the original sci-fi horror shooter System Shock is one of the more anticipated games of 2023, and we just recently learned when we should expect to see it come out. I think I managed to beat 4 of the bosses on a single try. I will say after you get the hang of it it's not too bad. Plus having 2 different type of weapons will make it easier as well. If its still too hard then maybe play Co-op with a friend? It's a little easier when you have a friend who can revive you. Although if you have the Pylon it is a really good weapon on almost every boss and enemy except I think the 4th or 5th boss.

If you know when to use the items it can literally be the difference between dying or moving forward.

My recommendation is early on when Ether cost is low I would us it at the little station thing before you move ok to unlock as many items as possible before the 2nd half of the game because the cost goes up. I actually managed to beat it too although I did die on the first boss like a couple dozen times so it was definitely a challenge. I've never played a Rogue Like and don't play all the Souls games and I had an amazing time with this game. Returning feels like a full length game with rouge like elements. What made those games great is that even though they were rouge like, the length of the game is reasonable. Not that I am hating on the genre because I enjoyed Risk of rain 2 and Wizard of Legend. There should be a mode in this game to make it less of a rouge like where you can spawn like the From Software games to make it more accessible instead of losing all your loot and progress.

There is no respawning at the last bonfire. If you die and don't have any special items in your inventory to give you a second chance, you have to start from the first level. The problems I have with it is that the story is cryptic and it is a rouge like not a souls game. It is simply not for everyone especially when there are plenty of other great PS5 games out there. I haven't completed it as yet and I would not recommend anyone pay full price for this game.

There is fun to be had with Returnal and it is a very challenging game that rewards perfection.
