BioShock™ Reviews

I really really enjoyed this game. A good balance of horror and shooter. I think what made me enjoy this a lot was how much it felt like Bendy and the Ink Machine, and after some research Bioshock was actually an inspiration for the Bendy franchise. So thats very very cool, cant wait to play through the rest of the games.

The levels, art-style and gameplay are awesome.

It was one of the most memorable games I've ever played years ago.....and playing it again decades after, it still proves to be one of the most immersive, compelling, unique and challenging games to be played by survival and psychological horror enthusiasts out there. Highly recommended. You're missing out if you don't dare to enter the fascinating and macabre depths of Rapture.

this game fucking rocks, i just wish it didnt have so many issues with playing on modern hardware with modern comfort expectations.

This game is awesome, as someone who went into the series blind with no previous nostalgia or biases towards the series. Its a decent experience that will keep you on your toes the whole way through, the atmosphere is amazing and feels insanely well thought out and is blooming with creativity, the weapons are interesting and most of them have a purpose gameplay and lore wise. However, some complaints i have: The battles, gameplay, and general objectives get very tedious late game, the enemies become literal bullet sponges that have no depth to them, even the big daddies are a heated case. The first 3 times you fight them are pretty intense and decently fun, but all big daddies. Even though theres different types, mainly are the same, one can shoot a gun and throw bombs, and the other can run really fast and slow down time, interesting, right? Yes, but after a bit it numbs down to just "shoot and run away, stun with plasmid if too close" not to mention, they arent really a challenge after you get the grenade launcher. The combat can go from: "so easy it makes me sleep" to "unfair janky mess that nobody could normally survive without dying once" and theres no real middle line, whilst the plasmid system is interesting and can provide rich attacks and combos that pump up the gameplay, most of them go completely useless, half of them arent even needed to beat the game, you could easily beat the game with just the electrical, fire. and telekenesis plasmids. The final boss was way to easy, i didnt even die once, and i was at around 30 healh during the fight, the ending ( the good one at least ) was actually really heartwarming, but no credits screen or anything like a "GOOD JOB YOU BEAT THE GAME" screen? it just cuts you back to the main title screen, there is a credits button there but you have to manually activate it. Ignoring all these problems, or if you just get use to them and stop caring, bioshock is an amazing game with loads of creativity strung throughout the whole thing, a must see for anybody wanting an story filled fps game with stunning atmospheres and rpg elements splattered throughout.

Apparently, it's a great game, though it does not work properly. I have constant crashes when saving the game. I spent two hours trying to find a fix, but it didn’t work. 0/10 experience.

Lot of technical issues due to game age, I suggest you to play the Remastered edition with those 2 mods to keep it closer to the original look: "Reflective water surfaces for Bioshock" and "Visual fixes and original aesthetics for Bioshock Remastered" I won't rate it negatively because it's a really, really good game but I had to switch to the remaster since this version was barely playable.

It's Bioshock. - Enough said The game that started a phenomenon. I still prefer this entry to the presumptious and dumbed down Infinit.

My god, as a game that was made in 07 it looks 10x better than fallout 3. The story, is peak. The game can be a bit hard at times but, overall, great story telling and atmosphere. i will say, i got soft locked during the last boss fight as i had no money and only made 1 same to the game. Fail on my end ;-;

Rating: 10/10 BioShock, released in 2007 by 2K Games and developed by Irrational Games, is one of the most iconic and influential FPS games of all time. Combining deep storytelling, immersive world-building, and unique gameplay mechanics, BioShock delivers an unforgettable experience that blends philosophical themes with tense survival horror elements. Whether you're exploring the haunting underwater city of Rapture for the first time or replaying to catch every detail, BioShock remains an absolute must-play. Why BioShock is a Timeless Classic 🌊 Incredible Setting – Welcome to Rapture The game’s biggest strength is Rapture, a beautifully crafted underwater dystopia, built as a utopia of freedom and innovation but ultimately destroyed by greed, power, and madness. From the moment you descend into the ocean, the game grips you with its haunting atmosphere and stunning Art Deco architecture. 📖 A Deep and Thought-Provoking Story BioShock is more than just an FPS—it’s a narrative masterpiece. It explores themes of free will, objectivism, and morality, heavily inspired by Ayn Rand’s philosophy. The story twists and turns in unexpected ways, leading to one of the most famous plot twists in gaming history. 🔫 Satisfying and Unique Gameplay The mix of guns and Plasmids (genetic powers) creates incredibly fun combat. You can freeze enemies, set them on fire, electrocute water puddles, or turn enemies against each other. This freedom allows for creative and strategic encounters. 🧬 Little Sisters and Big Daddies – A Moral Dilemma Throughout the game, you must decide whether to harvest or save the Little Sisters, which affects the story’s outcome. Protecting or fighting the terrifying Big Daddies, their monstrous guardians, makes for some of the most intense fights in the game. 🎶 Incredible Sound Design and Atmosphere The eerie 50s-era music, distant whale calls, and creepy echoes of insane Splicers roaming Rapture make every corridor unsettling. The voice acting is also top-tier, with unforgettable performances that bring Rapture’s tragic inhabitants to life. Any Flaws? ❌ Some Clunky Combat Mechanics The shooting mechanics can feel a little stiff compared to modern FPS games, but the unique powers and strategy compensate for this. ❌ Hacking Minigame Can Be Repetitive Hacking turrets and vending machines is useful, but the pipe-connecting minigame gets old fast. Fortunately, later games refined this mechanic. Conclusion BioShock isn’t just a great game—it’s a work of art. Its story, setting, and atmosphere make it a must-play for any gamer who loves deep narratives and immersive worlds. 🔹 Rating: 10/10 – A masterpiece that still holds up today. Would you kindly play it?
