I mean, if you are a fan of the original then it definitely should be worth it since this game updates/modernizes so many things from the original. I've only played about half of the original game a few years back and I can say this is a much better experience so far.

My only complaint are the puzzles which I believe are new to this remake because they are a bit convoluted to solve, but you can just lower the puzzle difficulty if you want to.

The dos game was also pretty colourfull for the most part, you probably just remember a lot of the first deck with the light flicks still turned off (which you can just turn on)
That being said, it's probably not worth 40 unless you want to support the future of the franchise.
It is nearly the same game except with modern controls and ui running in a modern engine.
The similarity goes so far that i can honestly tell someone new to go play the remake and he'll have the same experience as playing the improved dos version.
That being said, it means that it shares both the good and the bad of a 1994 game.

i actually didnt like the demo, it was mainly the sound, the impact of attacks etc jsut felt wayyyy offff.

Well, I just started it and I have to say I'm impressed so far.

EDIT: Though I am complelled to admit I barely started the game, and I played the original many years ago so I am pre-disposed to give it a good review (and buy it the moment I saw it was available). That said, what I have seen so far looks most impressive and I believe it will be an good buy.

Definetley worth it. The gameplay is tense and old school hardcore. The original was the first PC game I bought in my life, so this remake is a dream come true. A good friend of mine who is also a big system shock fan came by tonight and we just finished the first level together and had a blast. It oozes the Soul of the original while being modern at the same time. Worth it for the elevator music alone ;)

Having played through the entire first level my initial conceptions have been more than verified. Buy. This. Game.

Absolutely worth it, it's an excellent remake and quite faithful (with certain additions). It's a must play for System Shock fans IMO.

some publishers and developers charge you much more than 40 even for simple remasters and not just remakes...

[Madder Red]

Hell yeah, go for it!

[Gonsnakex]

Absolutely

But what about answering the concern raised in the OG topic.
The color scheme seemingly too coloryish and bright.
You all "I like it, so you have to like it too" feedbackers :P

As a fan of the original: Yes.
It has some problems, but nothing that kills the enjoyment. I'm probably being more lenient on it since I'm comparing it to the original, which is a bit of a PITA to actually play these days. But overall, absolutely yes.

If you think the game is too bright and colorful, the brightness setting is there for you. Setting it to 0.3 makes the game almost unplayably dark until you get the Vision upgrade, so that might be up your alley?

It's not more colorful and bright than the original, the lighting is fantastic in this remake. The original wasn't super dark and gloomy, to be fair. This isn't like Dead Space (and it never was), it hits the original atmosphere pretty well, similar to SS2 as well.
