However, despite being greatly influential and being hailed as among the greatest games of all time, System Shock and its sequel System Shock 2 weren’t exactly big sellers. The terrifying sci-fi horror of a space station haunted by a rogue AI has given way to the likes of Metroid Prime, Alien: Isolation, and Dead Space. Hell, even games outside its genre have taken influence. Without System Shock, there is no PREY, BioShock, or Dishonored. Looking Glass Studios’ seminal immersive sim wasn’t just an incredible game, but also the blueprint for some of the most beloved games of the last few decades. To say the original System Shock was influential would be the most thudding understatement of the year.
