Nightdive has finally released their System Shock remake and Nick has your launch day verdict!

Ah, the mundane evil of terrible jobs! Blackbird Interactive’s space scavenging game Hardspace: Shipbreaker strikes a tone with its loving tribute to entry-level terrible work that a lot of people are… well, stuck with it. Whether you’ve worked at retail or in a call center or in a warehouse and have barely been able to get by, this game has something for you. Years in the making, Nick finally gets to play the hell out of this game for review.

Arkane’s Prey was an epic immersive sim based on Talos 1 where your character awakens from a time loop gone wrong to fight a terrible alien menace. The game was blown off critically and commercially, but Nick’s played enough of these games now to get to the heart of the matter: was Prey really a triumph? And if it was, for whom? Let’s figure out what’s real and not together…

Prey was a lightning strike of a shooter when it arrived in the summer of 2006, but something got lost when the long-awaited shooter finally reached gamers. Deep under its dark, undulating corridors is the answer, a very, very, dark answer. Nick guides you through…

This is an excerpt from The Nth Review #15 - The System Shock Series, detailing a big analogy for what immersive sims are and aren't with The Immersive Sim Kitchen. I'd meant to split this video out a while ago, but ahead of #16 for Grand Theft Auto V, it feels convenient to just have this in its own video. Go watch all my videos!

The System Shock series is a cult favorite among PC gaming enthusiasts with arguably the industry’s most terrifying villain, but what brought this series to life? And what continues to breathe wind into its SHODAN-controlled sails? Nick finds out in this newest epic Review of the System Shock series!

Nick dives into the ancient past of 2011 to play the prequel reboot of The Greatest Shooter of All Time: Deus Ex in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Beyond the sheen and the QoL upgrades, how does it hold up after a decade… and what parts never really held up to begin with?

Nick straps into the Unreliable to journey amongst the planets and stations of the Halcyon system in Obsidian's "The Outer Worlds"! He investigates what happened to this first-person role-playing game and why it faded from public memory so quickly.

He didn’t think it could be done, but it can be done! Nick tackles the entire Thief series, all four games, full of stealth gameplay and evasive action.

Nick goes back in time to his days as a youth for this very special 10th edition of The Nth Review to play cyberpunk fantasy first-person RPG shooter Deus Ex. He leaves few stones left un-turned in this epic critique of Warren Spector and Ion Storm's 2000 production.

Nick looks back on a decade of the Alan Wake series, Remedy's paranormal psychological thriller and first post-Max Payne release. Were they successful? Will there be an Alan Wake 2? Let's dive in.

Nick goes back in time to re-experience three of action gaming's post important titles. Produced by Remedy and Rockstar, the Max Payne trilogy focuses on the one-man army who brought bullet time to our controllers and quirky noir stories to our lives. Covers Max Payne, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne and Max Payne 3.

Nick wonders what makes Frostpunk such a savage survival game.

Nick dives deep into the thorny post-Aug Incident world of Deus Ex. As Adam Jensen, he must sail this bleeding edge to investigate a mysterious train station bombing. Is the procedural compliant with the series' hallmarks? Find out on this episode of The Nth Review!
