Our third award for our Game of the Year is for the Best Old Game not released in 2025.
Mezbah from NoobFeed writes- Remastering System Shock 2, in celebration of its 25th anniversary, is a great example of how to properly keep games alive. Nightdive Studios paid tribute to the roots of a classic genre game while adding just the right amount of new features to make it fun for everyone. Even though it's not a redo, the remaster does a good job of making the 1999 original easier to access, more stable, and more visually accurate without changing anything about it.
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "System Shock 2 is an all-time great, easily one of the most important games of all time, and Nightdive’s 25th Anniversary Remaster edition makes it a touch more accessible without ever gutting its core, or anything that made it so cherished in the first place. The excellent core gameplay and stellar level design come together for an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the fact it works shockingly well on a controller is already something worthy of a medal of honor for the studio. Now, while we’re at it, where’s that System Shock 3 we were promised all those years ago? I’m hungry for more!"
