Description

BioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you. Injectable plasmids give you super human powers: blast electrical currents into water to electrocute multiple enemies, or freeze them solid and obliterate them with the swing of a wrench.
No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way.

  • Biologically modify your body: send fire storming from your fingertips and unleash a swarm of killer hornets hatched from the veins in your arms.
  • Hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants.
  • Turn everything into a weapon: the environment, your body, fire and water, and even your worst enemies.
  • Explore an incredible and unique art deco world hidden deep under the ocean.

It´s actually pretty mid. The game is more annoying than anything. The whole gameplay felt like a chore. Story is mid, guns feel awful, and the whistling of the flying bots is the most ragebaiting sound I have ever

Pretty good game, first time i've played it. Also bought the remasterd edition played that first. Got soft locked like 3 hours in... So ive needed this game to play Bioshock instead. Never buy the remasterd version. But

The ORIGINAL you might say. I refuse to play the Remaster as I've heard nothing but bad things, so I recently came back to revisit this title and play it for a friend. I love this game. The atmosphere. Andrew Ryan

I really enjoyed the game, it was fun, had a few scary sections, and overall had (personally) one of my favorite ways to explain the story in the game through the tape recorders. though i hate that you couldn't run in

An absolute classic that's your normie gamer's favorite. While in other games the corridors are just empty spaces to reach your destination, BioShock is full of details that showcase a theatrical exploration of man's
