Maybe I am weird, but I think the controls of SS1 are fantastic and I wish more modern games could be made with a similar approach. People tend to forget that in SS1 you don't just shoot at enemies, but you need to interact with the enviroment in complex ways. Using a mouse cursor to get and move objects, push buttons, aim & shoot, etc. Is completely intuitive and elegant. The main movements are managed in parallel with the left hand on the keyboard, in a completely equivalent "wads" fashion, with additional movements like rotation, strafing, leaning, etc., mapped effectively around the "wads" keys.
@@nifftbatuff676 Nah, I get it. And in the end, I got used to the controls rather quickly. But there's also no getting around how they've been one of the most mentioned barrier of entry since the 90's due to their initially complex nature. I do think that games like the sequel, or even the Enhanced Edition, came up with a pretty good symbiosis of the systems by allowing for quick mode switching between shoot and interact modes.
@@Chaosherold That's a hard one. Probably 2 or the remake. As much as I appreciate all of them, the first one has not entirely aged well, and in my opinion for the most part the same story is told better in the remake.

Excellent work on the reviews, I guess I'll give the remake a shot then.

@@apyr34556 Now that's quite the compliment.
I too tend to fall asleep to a playlist. Background audio is just nice.

@@ProjectRedfoot Relatable. Hope it was a decent distraction.
Old Pelit magazines are peak nostalgia for Finnish gamers
@@RyoCanCan Still have my stash in the closet. Can't get rid of that history.
this is true love! SHODAN love!
I believe System Shock CD controls could be remapped but outside of the game, in a text or config file.
Out of the three - which one have you enjoy the most?
