Story-wise, Warren Spector has previously confirmed it will continue on immediately from the events of System Shock 2. Based on what we know, it will be a first-person game, that blends survival-horror, role-playing, and immersive sim elements together.

The System Shock 3 gameplay has previously been confirmed to follow in the footsteps of the second game, but with the refinements of twenty years of game design. Eventually it would be shelved as they developed the idea for Dead Space instead, and the System Shock IP was left in the dust. this was a great experience and i urge you try it out yourself.The first concept of System Shock 3 began some fifteen years ago, after the original IP owners, EA, renewed the System Shock trademark, and EA Redwood Shores began development on the project.

the ending felt like a gut punch compared to the wonderful previous 10 hours, but i found myself feeling content after finishing the game anyway. you really felt like you were the only person on that station merely observing the effects of the carnage around you. the journal way of story telling has been done a lot of times, but i sincerely think system shock did it the best. without a guide i could not see myself beating this game especially the reactor overload part and abe's head (i was looking 30 minutes for it because i dumped it somewhere in the corner of the level.) despite this i had a great time playing this game, shodan was an amazing antagonist who watched your every step, the levels were huge and although at times painfully confusing offered a lot to see and experience. by all means this game has not aged well, it offers next to none hand-holding and you have to make sense of the notes left by the dead researchers to figure out your next objective. i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of depth this game had to offer and gameplay variety. I went into this game pretty much blind not expecting much from what looked like a typical boomer shooter.
