System shock is definitely clunky and dated. It already was when the second one came out.

System Shock II however plays as any modern FPS-RPG hybrid would, the only thing dated is the graphics, especially the enemy models. But there are mods to address that. Judging by the way this remake is going (being 5 years late) I'd not wait for an SS2 remake. You don't need to have played the first to enjoy the second.

I have a big enough backlog. I can afford to be patient.
