This month we delve into the cyberpunk, sci-fi horror dystopia of the System Shock remake, which sees the ultimate rogue AI, SHODAN, hack the PC Gamer cover. Our in-depth feature sees us preview the game on the verge of its launch, as well as getting exclusive insider developer access and commentary. This is no simple remaster of the original game, either, with developer Nightdive Studios spending eight years upgrading almost everything about the game. It looks really promising and we’re sure you’ll be just as excited as we are after getting the full lowdown.
