    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ( TLDR Version) The so called masterpiece by some of a story is fine at best **** at worst and mostly kinda bad on top of that gun play is pretty bad
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    1 Elizabeth: Elizabeth starts off kinda dumb with her calling you a monster even tho the people you killed in front of her attacked you first and were the real monsters as not only were they trying to kill you they also held her prisoner her whole life and on top of that how they treat black people so Elizabeth calling you a monster is kinda of dumb of her as aside from her not knowing how they treat black people she knows how bad these people are. Also later she starts crying after seeing you're trying to take her to new york and not paris even tho you just told her why to were saving her and what would happen to her like a minute ago, no really it was like less then a minute before was she not listening or something why she acting like she didn't know what was gonna happen, its just dumb whats the point in having your character tell her that if shes just gonna forget it ten seconds later, it's unforgiveablely dumb.

    2 Poor combat: Gun play is pretty bad and for a game that came out in 2013 that is not acceptable and in the final bit of the game where there is a lot of combat, it's made even worst by not giving like any pistol and carbine ammo which were the only two guns i was using since there was no point using any others with how poor the gun play is also tho not really a big deal water doesn't react to the player which isn't a bad thing but does lower my enjoyment of the game,it only comes up at the start and very end of the game but still, pretty sure games in 2013 had water that reacts to the players so this game can't be given a pass, if i had played this game back when it came out i would have the same feelings toward it that i have now tho i likely would rate it higher for its graphics in 2013 then i would now, graphics still look good but i wouldn't give it a higher rating like i might have in 2013.

    3 Save points: i hate waiting for save points, sometimes you want to or need to stop playing and having to wait to get to a save point is such a pain, a blast to the past and not in a good way, i do not miss not being able to save from anywhere or when ever you want in games, i'll never take quick saving for granted again, also i wish the auto save icon stayed up longer as it goes away really quickly and is easy to miss. Also can we stop putting loud ass sounds at the start of games when you first load them up please, having the main menu trigger my tinnitus every time i load it is really annoying.

    4 Story/ writing: Tho i don't really care for the plot it's fairly well written for the most part bar a few parts mainly Elizabeth stuff but nothing to write home about, iv come across 5 points where the writing goes from fine to outright bad 2 of them come from Elizabeth being dumb. The ghost "mother" bit of the game was by far the best part of the game tho the boss fights were a little annoying due to the games bad gun play and my god the end of the game was just the worst of it, Dewitt becomes super annoying for no reason at all and all the timeline stuff just falls flat for me as iv seen this type of stuff done so many times in all sorts of media and done way better and lastly the baby stuff at the end was just kinda dumb, i get was they were trying to do but it just isn't good the story isn't "bad" more so just fine but that with the poor combat really bring down my enjoyment of this game and its story and it just kinda felt like a chore to get threw mainly the last hour give or take.    … Expand

    Never really played a bioshock game before this. I was kind of shocked at how bad the excessive enemies were in this game. One enemy after another in this rush of constant combat with the occasional story beat and thematic imagery thrown in there to make gamers gush about how this is somehow genius.

When Bioshock 1 and 2 delved more into the sociological aspects of society and how people reacted to it, and what you as a player experienced from it. In that, well, the gameplay doesn't add or contribute anything to a sense of choice, you aren't really given one and it goes against the theme of infinite possibilities. But given the game's hectic development, I am not surprised. I don't think I can recommend it, the game falls apart by the 2nd act and it quickly becomes apparent how much was scrapped and then reworked simply to make a coherent game that had excessive shooting sections. I don't think a newcomer or Bioshock fan should play this, it's easier to watch cutscenes. Not a fun title.… Expand

    the story is absolutely phenomenal, the game shooting mechanics are best of the trilogy, the plasmids were kinda off but that's another story. Also the 2 buried at sea dlc 's were also really great. just a masterpiece overall, if you haven't played it then please do.

    This game is average at best, but all those praises sung to it make it one of the most overrated pieces of digital art ever. А pretentious plot, coupled with an incredibly raw gameplay and unmet expectations from trailers - the only things you will find here.

    This game is very shallow.

    I didn't find the gunplay to be anything special, and I feel like vigors just don't belong here. Weapon upgrades are also very bad. Applying this system with the two weapon system isn't a good idea. And the upgrades are useless. And the guns all feel the same. And multiple ammo types have been removed.

And why are there RPG's in 1912? Also, I really don't like Elizabeth. And the game is relying on her to hold itself up. That's a problem. I've been NPC blocked more times than I can count. This happened a little in the first Bioshock, but it's ridiculous here. I literally got stuck in a doorway for over 5 minutes. Speaking of Elizabeth being annoying, she talks over the audio diaries. Why? The autosave is a really bad idea. I don't like relying on it to get me through the game. I had a situation where I couldn't get the auto save to work and there's no manual save, meaning that every time I turned the game on I had to start all over again from the beginning, regardless of my progress. The vigors absolutely suck in this game. First off, why are they even here? How did these people discover Adam? Was it found inside a flying pig? And why did Columbia develop vigors anyway? Rapture was all about the development of science at the expense of morality. Why the hell would a hyper religious society of Christians be playing god like this? And they don't even make any practical sense. Combat plasmids made sense in Rapture because there was a civil war. Why are vigors being developed for combat? And why don't the military use it? Outside of one or two with either the fire or crow vigor that rarely show up? Vigors are so illogical and stupid in this society.
    In gameplay, I really don't like these. They cut the max vigors down to 8. That isn’t a problem, and the fact I can hold all 8 at once instead of 5 makes sense for the faster paced style of this game. And being able to use vigors and guns at the same time is a good improvement (one that Bioshock 2 already made)
    Unfortunately, the vigors suck. They either function exactly the same or they're so useless you'd never use them. I find it amazing that Bioshock 2 gets so much hatred, even from people like the Completionist, for not adding new plasmids, but this game gets rewarded for reducing the plasmids and diluting the remaining ones till they're unrecognizable.
    I found the possession vigor to have a lot of bad ideas. Enemies are supposed to commit suicide once the vigor stops, but many enemies commit suicide with a rocket launcher and the blast radius can also hurt the player. That's bad game design. And it happens a lot. I also noticed that if an enemy, like a gun turret, doesn't kill itself, then you have to wait for the possession to wear off before you can shoot it. How did this not come up in play testing? I discovered it at the beginning of my first playthrough. I cannot believe this made it into the game.
    Also, the bullet sponge ghost bosses are insufferable to deal with.
    The story is really not good either. The first act of the game is literally just a single event (finding Elizabeth) being recycled 3 separate times and ironically, for as much hate as Ken Levine seems to have for Bioshock 2 (even though he didn't bother to help the relatively much smaller dev team that made Bioshock even once throughout the relatively tiny development time it had) this game copies a lot from that one. Even down to Elizabeth basically just being Eleanor but less good.
    Why are black people even living in Columbia? It's not exactly easy to get onto a flying city and they obviously weren't natives there.
    And why don't the black people actually use vigors? It's not like they're hard to find

    And the manipulative attempts to spotlight choices to the player, only to lie and have them mean nothing is so dishonest and insulting.
    Also, Booker is an idiot.
    So much of the dialogue reads like a bad fanfiction you'd find on Wattpad.
    The ending is also just stupid. Just banging pots and pans together. What a lazy copout.
    By the time the Comstock death scene happened, I was so thoroughly done that I started listening to podcasts and stuff in the background. God, that monologue just went on and on and on. I hate games with several hours of unskippable cutscenes.
    And Elizabeth's powers are extremely nebulous, poorly explained, and just dumb
    They hyped up the songbird boss only to pull a lazy copout and throw it away in favor of that stupid blimp horde mode.
    Honestly, this game shouldn't be a Bioshock game. And many of the mechanics that we dragged in from other Bioshock games and crudely stapled onto this one hurt it the most. Especially the plot. And yeah, this story doesn't belong in Bioshock. Although, even on it's own terms, this story is dumb and the dimension jumping is really dumb.    … Expand

    На мой личный взгляд (кстати все сказанное - это мое личное мнение, кто-то может быть с ним несогласен. Критику я воспринимаю адекватно) игра слишком линейна. Я к тому, что таких игр пруд пруди, ответвлений ноль, ты двигаешься строго по курсу. Возможно кто-то скажет, что здесь и не нужна альтернатива, ибо сюжет и так неплохо завязан и тут я готов поспорить. То что заложено в концепции сюжета, в самой игре отображено на семерку и как раз если бы именно к этому сюжету добавить некую альтернативу по ходу прохождения, то все это можно было бы преобразить даже на десятку. Но разработчикам это даром не надо, линейность лучше. Были какие-то побочные под задания, но на полноценное ответвление это даже близко не похоже.

    Существенной красоты графики я не заметил, она сделана для своей игры. Разработчики знали, что люди схавают, вот и схавали, а весь мир в игре можно было куда лучше реализовать. Компания делавшая эту игру давно о себе заявила (думаю все знают что я имею в веду).

    Оригинальной механики в игре попросту не существует. Может быть я не увидел ее? Хотя прошел всю игру, изведав каждый уголок и потом прошел дополнения (в дополнениях кстати идентичная песня). Где-то читал про большой выбор оружия, тут лучше я вообще промолчу.

    Все можно было сделать лучше, особенно заменить тупую линейность на сюжет с альтернативой.    … Expand

This, I imagine, is intended to paper over the fact that most of the levels have nothing interesting in them, and there is almost nothing to do, look at, or think about for a majority of the game. I have perhaps never played a game that felt so bereft of content. It felt at times as if opening cabinets was the primary game mechanic.

    The potential gravitas of the world is undermined by a cloying circus-like silliness throughout.

    The story is nonsensical. The entire game is a promise that you will eventually understand what's going on, but there's no payoff. Despite playing with quantum probabilities and alternate realities, the story is ultimately incredibly deterministic, and neither the player nor the player character seem to have any agency or free will in the slightest.

    The combat is not fun. I started the game on hard, but turned it down to normal because I had no desire to spend any more time in combat than was necessary to complete the story.

    At about hour 3, I was already looking forward to the end, while I held out hope that the story would redeem my boredom at some point. No such luck.

    I am amazed to have played a game with such high production values that ultimately amount to almost nothing of value.

Maybe i wouldn't dislike it so much if it was a standalone game, because this game really has nothing to do with the first two. it's really boring, your choices don't matter, none of the characters are likable, and that includes Elizabeth because her characterization just feels off, both in the base game and the DLC.

Scénario, histoire... quelle importance, autant se taper un film de David Lynch que de supporter cette sorte de... quoi déjà ? de retour vers le futur du passé antérieur en parallèle conjugué à l'imparfait très imparfait. Ces dialogues à la X-Files, ces rebondissements aberrants et cette fin qui touche le fond de la médiocrité prétentieuse à l'insu de son ignorance.

    Le Bioshock de trop donc. Dès le début, on s'en doute un peu et même beaucoup : disparition de la carte et de la sauvegarde manuelle, disparition des trousses de soin, disparition des munitions spécifiques, adjonction d'un bouclier (!) qui remonte tout seul et le pire de tout, l'impossibilité de porter plus de deux armes... A ce train là, le prochain Bioshock sera bourré de QTE avec des scripts à la Call of Duty toutes les 30 secondes. A n'en pas douter.

    Ce n'est pas complètement mauvais heureusement, les combats restent le coeur du jeu et sont toujours très intéressants, la VF est parfaite et le jeu malgré un moteur Unreal bon pour la casse reste magnifique avec son ambiance très lumineuse et résolument éloignée du caractère glauque des deux premiers Bioshock. Il est aussi moins fou et moins impitoyable, moins cruel. Il a perdu son cynisme acéré pour se perdre en divagations paradoxales absconses et prétentieuses.

    Monsieur Levine se prend pour un "artiste", une sorte "d'auteur" mais c'est juste un gars qu'on a envie d'inviter à dîner mercredi soir : combien d'allumettes dans vos discontinuums spatio-temporels à la con, M. Levine ? quoi ? tant que ça ? le roi, c'est bien vous alors !    … Expand

    Play BSI slowly, relish the moments and don’t rush to the end. It’s certain that you will have lived one of the richest gaming experiences that, as far as narration, lyricism and story are concerned, will take a lot of time to forget! [May 2013]

    A very solid, but not revolutionary shooter in an amazing setting, with a story that struggles to convey its authors’ ambitions and is only seemingly complex. The vision is less focused than in previous Bioshocks and it does a worse job on binding the plot with gameplay. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.46]

    Problematic plotting and excessive amounts of poorly balanced combat apply friction to what is otherwise one hell of a rollercoaster. [May 2013, p.80]
