    Looks great, runs great except crashes during certain fights (even with latest patches). Too bad they didn't fix the old bugs and the gameplay feels a bit boring nowadays.

    I really want to love this remastered version. But the game just keeps on crashing whenever I press ESC to save the game manually. Did 2K Games have a QA department at all? Without this frustrating experience I would have given this game 9/10.
    2K Games, you need someone to actually test the game before release. Do you understand that you need someone to actually test the game before release?

    Bioshock Remastered isn’t a bad game but that is mostly because it is a remaster of a fantastic game. I don’t attribute any of the great game play; story; or anything like that to the remaster but to the original. The remaster’s main goal and job is to improve the graphics and in many ways it fails it’s goal. There are times where the textures are blurry and will go back to being normalBioshock Remastered isn’t a bad game but that is mostly because it is a remaster of a fantastic game. I don’t attribute any of the great game play; story; or anything like that to the remaster but to the original. The remaster’s main goal and job is to improve the graphics and in many ways it fails it’s goal. There are times where the textures are blurry and will go back to being normal and back to blurry often. This is an issue that has been around since the release of the remaster and persists even now over five years after it’s initial release. When the textures aren’t blurry they aren’t a gigantic difference to the original in my opinion. The original can still be played at 1080P (I’m not sure about higher resolution support) and is passable still. In fact I am more impressed with how well the original looks for a game from 2007 than I am of the remastered edition being a game from 2016. On the off chance you haven’t played the original Bioshock then I will say that the remastered edition will be worth it for you. The enemies are varied as are the plasmids and upgrades you can go for. The story and characters are fantastic and still are more enjoyable than many games these days. The remastered edition does offer other perks such as director’s commentary and challenge rooms, neither of which are available in the original, but I don’t really care about either myself. There are several things that could have been improved but aren’t. For instance you still can’t hold onto food in your inventory like med kits, you have to consume then on the spot. There is also a slight issue when you have to find components to craft a bomb and unlike most other goals you have the locations aren’t listed on the map. Also once you place proxy mines there is no way to pick them up if you want to.

    I played Bioshock Remastered on Linux using Valve’s Proton. It did require the launch command “PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%" otherwise the hacking mini game would take a few minutes to load as well as saving would take forever as well. There are 5 AF settings; an AA toggle; a V-Sync toggle; 3 other graphics settings as well as an FOV slider that goes from 75-130. Alt-Tab works. You can save the game whenever you please and there didn’t appear to be a limit on save slots. There is also an auto save feature for those who prefer that. You can change the difficulty any time you want to. The performance was fantastic and never dipped below 95 FPS for me.

    Game Engine: Unreal Engine
    Game Version Played: 1.0.122972
    Disk Space Used: 20.72 GB

    Game Settings Used: FOV 100; V-sync on; AA on; Distortion on; Real Time Reflections on; Water Ripple on; 16x AF
    GPU Usage: 26-65 %
    VRAM Usage: 2308-3438 MB
    CPU Usage: 13-27 %
    RAM Usage: 4.7-5.2 GB
    Frame Rate: 95-144 FPS

    If you don’t own the original Bioshock then I do recommend this game. It is fantastic and still fun. If you already own the original then it is hard to justify spending $21.99 CAD on a graphical upgrade that isn’t much of an upgrade. I got it for free for owning the original. I finished the game on the hardest difficulty in 17 hours and 15 minutes.

    My Score: 6.5/10 (I Gave the original a 9.5)

    My System:

    Se você não jogou o original, então o jogo é 9/10, mas se você jogou o original, então esse remaster é 5/10. O jogo original é o melhor jogo de tiro em primeira pessoa com poder que já joguei, o cenário é muito bonito e a história, a reviravolta na trama é incrível.

    Для своего времени это была великолепная игра и даже сейчас сюжетная и шутерная составляющая выглядит хорошо.

    Красивая графика, хорошая оптимизация, приятная музыка. В конце кончились все патроны и приходилось 2 часа (не преувеличение) дубасить противников палкой, это крайне испортило оценку игре. Стандартная игрушка.

    Сама игра вроде не мерзкая, геймплей пойдёт, но всё что происходит внутри вызывает какое то отторжение полнейшее, ещё и ремастер выходил, сюжет тоже какой то да присутствует но подводный стимпанк какая то параша скучная, особенно эти папочки, пиздец.Сама игра вроде не мерзкая, геймплей пойдёт, но всё что происходит внутри вызывает какое то отторжение полнейшее, ещё и ремастер выходил, сюжет тоже какой то да присутствует но подводный стимпанк какая то параша скучная, особенно эти папочки, пиздец.

    The only issues I have with this version of the game are with its optimization, it had several issues when it came to navigating the UI or trying to save that would simply cause the game to crash, which is disappointing from a title of this pedigree, but overall I still remain impressed by the game, even with this remaster - and it certainly lives up to my expectation of what Bioshock would be like.

    It is a good game, with a story with a very nice plot. It's worth hunting the audio logs on the maps to understand in detail the story and who the characters are.
    The gameplay is good, but I thought it lacked whim to create more enemy models and refine the weapons a little more. I finished the game with the clear impression that the shotgun was more accurate than the machine gun.

    It has a wide variety of "spells" and add-ons for characters.
    I recommend the game, even more in a good promotion.

    Never play in original game, only remastered. Boring shooting, easy weapon upgrade system, atmospheric locations and good story telling.
