And even for something as simple basic as being able to map the curser to middle mouse so I can use q and e for leaning makes the entire game so much smoother to play when I’m always peeking around corners.Īnd then to really bring the entire package together you can bind multiple functions to the same key. Now I can reload by just pressing the R button, scroll through weapons with the mouse wheel, bind my light to F and throw Grenades with G. Sure needing to click to use items and right click to fire weapons will always feel dated, everything else feels great once you mess with the keybindings. Deciding to give it another go after hearing about the source port I’ve been nothing but impressed with the game.Īnd I really wanna highlight that out of all the changes re-bindable keys has been the biggest one to bring the game to the modern age for me. I first tried playing the game a year ago, and while I enjoyed my time with it I never even finished the first level.

I just wanted to gush for a bit because it’s amazing what this port does to bring system shock Into the modern age.
