Explore the Citadel Station.System Shock is a trendsetter in the immersive sim genre. The Citadel station is just huge in its size and you are free to go wherever you want if you can find the right path. Behind every turn you can be pressed by an opponent, a trap, a riddle, a secret door, or something interesting. If you explore this lifeless station, your search and curiosity will be rewarded not only with useful items, but also with achievements..
Move slowly. Use your advantages.The station is full of enemies, and your protagonist is far from the most invincible hero. If you try to run through the levels of the station quickly, you will be instantly punished. Deal with opponents carefully, use everything in your arsenal or enviroment around you, think carefully about the next step and be smart with your inventory management to survive the next fight.

But here you have variability and several ways to achieve the desired task. Be smart and logical, come up with unusual solutions to your problems and some achievements will not keep you waiting.
Destroy cameras, search for collectiblesThere aren’t many collectible achievements in the game, but the ones that do exist will haunt you for most of the game. Look for audio logs, destroy cameras through which Shodan is watching you and collect some other items, because this will not only help you in your gameplay and reveal the game’s story, but also you will also unlock some achievements for this.
Spoiler AlertA large number of achievements in this game are related to progress in the story. The further you progress through the story, the more achievements you will unlock.
Since I will need to tell you exactly how to get certain achievements, then be prepared for spoilers. Go through the game on your own if you don’t want to spoil your gaming experience, reveal the plot and come back when you need help or you`re okay with spoilers.
