    Amazing game set in a dystopian underwater city. It's 9 years old by now, but the gameplay still holds up great. Interesting story and lore that drives the game forward. Cool level design with a very haunting atmosphere.

    Bioshock is great story-driven FPS with few RPG elements. Visuals, sounds and plot - everything comes together to create one of best atmospheres in action games. Gameplay itself is not as good but it's fine.

    Had relly good time with this game when it came out to macOS.

    Story telling is very good movie style storytelling and gameplay is very intence when you disable Vita-Chambers and you were bit dependet to mix ordanary wepons with plasmid when you fight brutal enemy swarms. only thing that i was not impressed was the pipe game hacking.

    this is one of my go to game when playing old games.

Que eran unos juegos buenísimos y que el primero me metería mucho en la magia, asique con este contexto doy mi opinión.

    Me ha parecido un juego bueno, tiene una ambientación, enemigos y personajes únicos.
    En general una dirección de arte y una atmósfera que en muy pocos juegos he visto, tiene momentos y cosas que la verdad estoy seguro que no se me van a olvidar, cosas como Andrew Ryan.

    Me ha recordado mucho a Fallout y Half life mientras jugaba, de hecho parecía que estaba jugando a una mezcla de estos dos, tenia la estética muy trabajada con estilo antiguo y macabro de Fallout, pero al mismo tiempo jugaba dando saltos y explotando cosas con 200 armas como en Half life, sin preocuparme mucho de la vida y de morir.

    En general no puedo decir mucho que no se haya dicho ya, me parece un buen juego pero se me ha hecho muy cuesta arriba, tiene un esquema de escala de poder bastante absurdo por ejemplo:

    - Al cuarto de partida ya habrás desbloqueado todos los poderes y armas que hay en el juego, lo cual te quitara como un poco el misterio de que habrá después ya que te enfrentaras a todos los enemigos y jefes del juego con lo que ya tienes y sin desbloquear nuevas mecánicas ni nada.

    - Los Big Daddys son un enemigo muy bueno en este juego, pero también es su maldición, aparecen muy pronto y necesitas buen equipo para matarlos, entonces el juego intenta que lo tengas todo lo antes posible para que puedas acabar con ellos, lo cual hace que un Big Daddy te aguante 7 escopetazos al inicio y 30 al final, pudiendo ser de la misma clase, lo cual te rompe mucho el gameplay y la inmersión con el juego.

    Y lo mismo pasa con cualquier enemigo, los humanoides aguantan un escopetazo a la cara en las primeras zonas del juego (cosa que tiene sentido), pero después los mismos humanoides con las mismas frases, ataques y todo te aguantan 5 o 6 escopetazos en el pecho, y esto ocurre porque no hay más enemigos en el juego ya que los Big Daddys los cuales son el enemigo más fuerte en lore y supuesta mente en gameplay son completamente opcionales.

    Es como que al incluir a los Big Daddys forzaron toda la progresión del juego y hicieron que a las 4h o así de jugar ya tengas un lanza granadas que te ayuda a matar cualquier cosa con facilidad. Y al estar los Big Daddys planteados como los enemigos más fuertes de ese mundo, el resto de humanoides son todos iguales exceptuando que los que están al final del juego aguantan muchos más hits. (No tienen armaduras, poderes ni nada que les haga destacar del resto de humanos porque te están diciendo que los Big Daddys son los únicos con poder)

    En resumen me ha parecido un buen juego por todo el apartado de guión, arte, inmersión y en general como experiencia visual, pero jugablemente deja muchísimo que desear y tiene fallos muy tochos incluso para su época.    … Expand

    Great story. The weapon types are very good and usefully. The atmosphere is awesome. The underwater concept is very successful. The controller are not bad. Just few control very useless and hard. After half of the game the hack game-play is very bored. But generally very good game.

    When it comes to atmosphere this game is on top. Also the story-telling with the airplane crush and the Lighthouse is brilliant. But i have to admit i didn't enjoyed it that much like i did in my first playthrough. It's to much backtracking and collecting stuff with respawning enemys. Anyway this game is a masterpiece and I still love it!

Первый Биошок очень крут своей идеей: подводный город Восторг является свободным местом для художников, музыкантов и других творческих личностей, которых в наземном мире ограничивали политические власти. Однако ключевую идею говорить не буду, во избежании спойлеров. Любителям неожиданных поворотов точно понравится. Ценители искусства могут взять игру на вооружение. В игре большое количество интересных мыслей для размышлений, при загрузках играет хороший рэтро-джаз, мрачная атмосфера. Однако, если вы любитель мощных драматических моментов, то в игре таких мало, да и Биошок не стремится играть на эмоциях игрока. Как шутер тоже зайдёт не всем, всё вроде динамично, красиво нарисовано, отлично оптимизировано, но от геймплея чувствуешь некоторую усталость. В общем, игра для тех кто любит подумать о "высоком": об искусстве, о политике и о жизни, сюжет здесь однозначно хорош. Любители поплакать и/или пострелять найдут эту игру не самой интересной.… Expand

    La jugabilidad me parecio muy buena, la forma de utilizar los plasmidos que serian las habilidades, las mejoras del personaje. En el juego tenes unos puzzles que se utilizan para hackear robots, maquinas y camaras de seguridad, que al principio parecen interesantes pero con el pasar del tiempo se vuelven super repetitivos, me hubiera gustado mas variedad en este sentido. Ademas de ser un RPG tambien es un shooter, y en este aspecto pierde y por mucho, siendo un sistema tosco y con muy poco "feedback", es decir, el sonido de las armas y la forma de disparar son muy malas.

    La historia me parece muy buena, atrapandote desde el comienzo, tiene una duracion de 12 horas, con 3 finales diferentes dependiendo de lo que elijas hacer con las Little Sisters. Lo jugue con el doblaje en español de España, siendome imposible de cambiar al ingles, los dialogos son buenos pero con el tiempo las voces de los enemigos se vuelven suuuper repetitivas, me los aprendi de memoria ya

Considering this game's age it still holds up quite well visually, and water reflections/refractions in particular look very nice. Sound and level design are solid, and the writing and voice acting are some of the best I have heard. These strong elements are let down a little by Bioshock's short (9 hour) length, slightly clunky gunplay, and over-reliance on fetch quests and instances of 'your intended path is now blocked, find a way through' that act to pad the story rather than add value to it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oynadığım en güzel ve en farklı Aksiyon-Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunlarından biri. Oyunun en güçlü tarafı hikayesi. Oyunumuz uçağımızın düşmesi ile uçak enkazının ortasında kendimizi bulmamız ile başlıyor. Ardından yakındaki bir kuleye doğru yüzüp burada batısfer görüyoruz, bu batısfer bizi okyanusun dibindeki Rapture'a götürüyor ve maceramız burada başlıyor. Burada Atlas diye biri ile ekip olup birçok kişiyi öldürüyoruz. Şehrin yöneticisi Andrew Ryan'a gelene kadar çeşitli düşmanları öldürdükten sonra, hikayenin en önemli yeri olan Ryan'I öldürme kısmına geliyoruz. Ryan bizi aslında kendini Atlas diye tanıtan Frank Fontain'in yarattığını söylüyor. Kanıt olarak da "rica etsem" kelimesini bizim üzerimizde kullanıyor. Fontain, bizi "rica etsem" kelimesine itaat etmek için yaratmış. Yani biz bir tür köle gibi bir şeyiz. Birisi bizden bir şey isteyip "rica etsem" kelimesini kullanınca o şeyi istesek de istemesek de yapıyoruz. Ryan doğru söylediğini kanıtlamak için bize "rica etsem geri çekil" diyor, geri çekiliyoruz, "rica etsem dur" diyor duruyoruz ve "rica etsem koş" diyor ve birden koşmaya başlıyoruz. En sonunda Ryan "rica etsem öldür" diyor ve bir nevi kendini bize öldürterek intihar ediyor, Jack (biz) Ryan'ı golf sopasıyla döve döve öldürüyor. Ardından Atlas telsize çıkıyor ve önceden Ryan'ın bölgesini patlatmak içi hazırladığımız bombayı çekirdeğe yerleştirmemizi söylüyor. Gidip bombayı çekirdeğe yerleştiriyoruz ve ardından Atlas tekrar telsize çıkıyor, iyi bir köle olup her söylediğini yernine getirdiğimiz için bizimle dalga geçerek teşekkür ediyor, aynı Ryan'ın bize söylediği gibi Atlas bize kendisinin Atlas değil Frank Fontain olduğunu ve tüm bunları Rapture şehrinin tek hakimi olmak için bize yaptırdığını söylüyor. Bundan sonra bombanın etkisi ile ölmemek için kaçmaya başlıyoruz ancak bomba patladıktan sonra etkileniyoruz ve bayılıyoruz. Biz bayıldıktan sonra Tenbaum diye biri bizi buluyor ve bize Fontain'den intikam alma konusunda yardım edebileceğini söylüyor. Fontain'in bizi küçükken annemizden kaçırdığını ve bizi Ryan'a karşı kullanabilmek için genetiğimizi değiştirdiğini söylüyor. İlk iş olarak Fontain'in üzerimizde hala etkisi olduğunu ve "rica etsem" kelimesinin hala işe yaradığını söylüyor. Bundan dolayı ilk olarak bizi Fontain'e kölelik yapmaktan kurtaracağını söylüyor ve gerekli malzemeleri aldıktan sonra kölelikten kurtuluyoruz. Fakat yaptığımız ilacın yan etkileri de oluyor ve oyuncu bir süreliğine plazmit seçemiyor, plazmitleri rastgele kullanmak zorunda kalıyor. En sonunda Koca Baba kılığına girip Küçük Kız Kardeşler'in yardımı ile intikam almak için Fontain'in bulunduğu yere ulaşıyoruz. Burada Fontain'in plazmitleri kendi üzerinde kullandığını ve çok güçlü bir mutanta dönüştüğünü görüyoruz. Ardından oyunun son Boss savaşı patlak veriyor, burada Fontain'in 4 barı var, bu barlar bittiği zaman Fontain yeniden doğuyor. Onu 3 defa yendikten sonra 4.'de Küçük Kız Kardeşler olaya dahil oluyor ve Fontain'in işini bitiriyorlar, oyun buradan sonra 2 farklı sondan biri ile bitiyor; eğer oyun boyunca karşılaştığınız tüm Küçük Kız Kardeşler'i kurtarmışsanız oyun iyi sonla bitiyor. Eğer karşılaştığınız Küçük Kız Kardeşler'den birini veya birden fazlasını iyileştirmek yerine hasta ettiyseniz oyun kötü sonla bitiyor. Oyunun tamamı Rapture denilen distopyada geçiyor ve buradaki mekanlar, bölümler çok güzel ve özenli bir şekilde hazırlanmış, oyuncu oyuna başlar başlamaz o atmosferi hissediyor. Ben oyunun remastered sürümünü oynadım, remastered sürümü 2016 senesine çıkmış olmasına rağmen yine de o senenin stantartlarının altında bir remastered olmuş. Sadece kaplamaları ve ışıklandırmaları biraz elden geçirmişler o kadar, 2007'deki sürümü ile aman aman bir farkı yok remastered'ın yani. Ayrıca oyunu SSD'de oynamama rağmen oyunun yüklenme süreleri çok uzun. Oyunun açılması 1 dakikayı buluyor ve oyunu kaydetmek istediğim zaman yine 5-6 saniyelik bir yükleme ekranı çıkıyor, halbuki diğer oyunlarda oyunumu beklemeden kaydedebiliyorum. Oyunu oynarken çok büyük olmasa da birkaç kez hatalar ile karşılaştım. Vuruş hissi olarak bazı silahlar iyi, bazı silahlarda ise kötü. Genel olarak oyunun fizik motoru da pek iyi değil. Oyunda ölünce son kayıt noktası yerine "canlanma noktası" denen yerden başlıyoruz, bu da bazen zaman kaybetmemize sebep oluyor. Başta da söylediğim gibi, bu oyun iyisiyle kötüsüyle benim bugüne kadar oynadığım en iyi Aksiyon-Birinci Şahıs Nişancı oyunlarından biriydi. Bu yazıyı okuyan tüm oyunculara bu oyunu deneyim etmelerini öneriyorum.… Expand

    I've wanted to play Bioshock for a long time. Heard great things about the game, but never got around to it. I just finished the remastered version, and wow, I would still consider it a very unique experience even 11 years later. The environment. The atmosphere. The narrative. It's all phenomenal. The whole underwater city, and the 70's theme fit together perfectly. The way the city was in ruins, and the underlying mystery as to why everything is in ruins, was all very gripping. I couldn't put the controller down. I wanted to know what came next. The dialogue and progression slowly uncovered more and more. And more and more I was drawn in. The plot is filled with twists and turns.

    The Little Sisters and Big Daddys concept is very interesting. The ADAM for your power up is right there, but they won't fight you unless you fight them. This element of freedom the game gave was great. I can't really think of any game that does it this way. Where a mini-boss is literally just lurking around the entire level. All the power ups were interesting as well.

    Though there are a few problems. Not being able to swap the positions of your power ups and weapons was super annoying. Having remembered what the hotkey for a certain item was for a long duration of the game, it completely threw me off when the positions was switched around, because of an event or I swapped a power up along the way. There is also a mouse sensitivity problem on the remastered version, if you play on PC. This was extremely annoying, and I've read others have experienced it too.    … Expand

    Визуал превосходный у игры, для своего времени. Геймплей интересный, но боевке не хватает комбинаций плазмидов. Сама история мира прикольная, очень интересно собирать записи и строить цепочку событий.

    The setting is beautiful however it does feel very linear. The body Mods are cool. The story is amusing yet unfortunately predictable ending. Beautiful game

Мрачная атмосфера закрытых коридоров подводного города авторам удалась. Все локации сделаны по-разному, с вниманием к деталям и сюжету. Плазмиды, то бишь типа магия, не слишком реалистично вписываются в игру, зато добавляют много возможностей уничтожения врагов. Можно бить молнией, огнем, гипнотизировать, кидаться тяжелыми предметами, либо по -старинке расстреливать). Лично для меня сюжет не очень выдерживает критику, но интересных персонажей хватает.

No explanation is given where this discrepancy comes from. And this continues when you try to change the settings: the entire game crawls to a halt, including the mouse pointer. Ever tried to change the screen resolution, and can't click on the 'yes' button within 15 seconds? The design is very pretty, though it is not enough to warrant such a high score. The story is basically that of Far Cry, with some dubious morality tale thrown in. There is very little variety in terms of opponents: four major types (humans, Big Daddies and turrets/bots) with eight sub-types between them. Also, they always attack in predictable patterns, jumping a little just before hitting you, etc. The hacking system gets tiresome very, very quickly, just like the fact you have to search pretty much everything if you want to finish the game. The weapon system is interesting, but a bit bewildering in its complexity. More is not necessarily better. Again, the graphics and the whole design are simply gorgeous, but a good game is more than that. It's a feast of colour and shape, compared to the sterile desolateness of Half-Life 2, but it fails to grip you as much.

    Bioshock really doesn't live up to the hype surrounding it, and its a shame that so many reputable game reviewers weren't able to see past the flash and give the game an unbiased review for what it is: an entertaining but derivative (and at times frustratingly average) first-person shooter that is at most Evolutionary, but never revolutionary, in its presentation. Despite the Bioshock really doesn't live up to the hype surrounding it, and its a shame that so many reputable game reviewers weren't able to see past the flash and give the game an unbiased review for what it is: an entertaining but derivative (and at times frustratingly average) first-person shooter that is at most Evolutionary, but never revolutionary, in its presentation. Despite the open environments the game is almost completely linear - it holds your hand and tells you where to go and when, and while you can choose to go off the beaten path and explore, there's really nothing to be gained by this except the occasional stash of ammo and money. More likely you'll be frustrated by the waves upon waves of splicers that greet you around every corner - getting into massive gunfights everywhere you go kind-of kills the wonder of exploring the environment, which, while impressive visually, falls apart when you attempt to dig below the surface. Everything about it screams "I'm a videogame", from the arrangement of the levels and lack of functional purpose and interaction in many of the environments you explore to the same old weapons selection, which includes all the basics for an fps (pistol, shotgun, SMG, etc.). It seems strange to me from a story perspective that pioneers came to the ocean floor to build a Utopian society and brought with them a massive arsenal, including grenade launchers and gun turrets around every corner (regardless of the excuses for them being there, they simply serve to remind me of every other fps I've ever played). I understand that society has apparently crumbled, but I was promised an FPS revolution, and what I got was braindead AI zombies who rush me en masse (like in Doom and every other FPS ever made), gun turrets around every corner (ditto), linear mission/level design, a pretty standard plot, and a somewhat innovative, if flawed, combat mechanic that involves shuffling between weapons with a handful of different ammunition types and Force Powers (er, plasmids) using the mouse wheel and keystrokes, which can become very annoying when you're fighting a handful of different enemy types in a battle, and lead you to feel like you're fighting the controls rather than the bad guys. I was told I was going to be immersed in this world and be able to make deep moral decisions, but instead of making alliances with the survivors and carefully scavenging for items as I explore a rich sci fi world, I'm blasting (almost) everything that moves and buying ammunition and plasmids from vending machines (why are there a bazillion vending machines that sell armor piercing ammunition and none that sell soda?) On top of this, I find the whole interweaving of the story and game design fundamentally flawed. Why in a world that has supposedly been destroyed by overindulgence in DNA altering drugs, does the gameplay so freely encourage you to shoot up with plasmids? It's the ultimate example of the designers dropping the ball on a chance to weave gameplay into the story in a meaningful way. As the characters in the game bemoan the toll that 'splicing' has taken on their society, the game itself encourages you to get your hands on as much ADAM as you can to boost your abilities (there's no way to get past many areas of the game without plasmids), going so far as to discourage you from leaving a level until you've collected from all the Little Sisters in the area (because, and I quote: "the game can get extremely difficult"). There's no apparent gameplay penalty for over-splicing or over-using your abilities (notwithstanding the obligatory mechinations of the plot), and its a real shame, because its one of many opportunities this game had to actually merge storytelling and gameplay in a revolutionary way Its decent as an FPS, but while it has some novel design concepts (all culled from other games), its not the revolution that I was expecting.… Expand

    Way too demanding on graphics. I had to replace a perfectly good graphics card with another newer card to run this game and even that new $200 card still runs the game choppy as hell (on low settings). This game is not ment for the casual gamer, thats for sure.

    I have to 2nd others here. There is no death penalty so the game is easy even at hard difficulty. The atmosphere is great but the story falters quite a bit near the end. Its a must-play game but it carries lots of faults. System Shock 1 and 2 are still far superior games to Bioshock.

The devolves into an exercise in grinding down big daddies even on hard mode, as opposed to thinking tactically about each situation. Moreover, there are essentially, 3 types of enemies in the game. Splicers, no matter how many types there are, they all amount to the same thing with different weapons. Security drones and bots, once the invisibility upgrade is obtained, become a non-factor. And Big Daddies, which provide the games only truly interesting enemy, but again, only two types, that all look the same. The story, could have been so much more, but was flitted away with cheesy plot twists and two dimensional villains. Everyone either is evil, or an inhuman monster, depth there aint. The game ends up becoming this, run into room, be told by an invisible voice what to do, kill splicers, play the same hacking game over and over again, kill all big daddies. The atmosphere, graphics, environments, and art direction are beautiful, absolutley beautiful. Too bad Bioshock is just another pretty face.… Expand

There are no choices you can make in the game except whether to kill or save the little girls, so it makes this game just another pipe-run. The plasmids are very ineffective or awkward to use, much easier to just shoot your target rather than try to lure it in a trap or throw stuff at it. The ammo conservation which is supposed to be a key feature of the game means that you try and wrench your targets all the time, after you get a few plasmids it's even better to wrench cause it's the most efficient way. The plot is thought through, but it doesn't really capture you in it. Like Steve W. said, this game is nowhere near classics like Deus Ex or Half-life, but it's better than average still.… Expand

    Bioshock is somewhat fun, and has a lot of impressive visuals, themes and atmosphere, but it doesn't take long before it wears thin. The combat system isn't much fun once you get over the novelties, the gameplay is repetitive and there's no challenge. Alright game, but very much over rated.

    This is by far not a bad game, and at times is an incredibly good game, but for the most part it is barely above average. It has an excellent plot and incredible environment (Which get old), but the weapons are ultimately average, as is the most important factor, gameplay. This is perhaps one of the most over-rated games I've seen in a while, more so even than COD4.

I have found an appreciation for this game, because it aspires to bring an aspect that is far and few in modern gaming: immersion. It does not strive to have the best physics, the best AI, or to attain the prestige of being a difficult game - in fact, the game is relatively easy; but I believe this is by design, so that the player can continually progress without experincing frustration, or repetition that comes from trial and error of adhering to the "right" combination of buttons in order to progress to the next portion. The game simply wishes to tell a story, and do so as fluidly as possible. I find its ease to be more of a blessing; because anyone whom is not a gamer, can still pick it up and enjoy it - and prove that art, and eloquent portrayal can exist amidst the cabals of games that repeat themselves through recycle and reiteration. In finality, the game is a good jaunt in storytelling from the first person perspective, and is recommended for anyone that enjoys the concept of immersion, so long as they allow themselves to see beyond the game's technical shortcomings.… Expand

The game kinda gets old after a few hours considering everyone looks the same. I mean they are exactly the same too, just with different weapons and slightly different tactics. It is like a Final Fantasy game if you only fought goblins but they got more health as you played further through the game. The moral choice you are presented with in the game is stupid too. You can either kill Little sisters and get twice as much adam, or save them and get half the adam initially and then the other half as a gift, along with some useless ammo or something. There are two endings, but I don't really think its worth playing again to see the other one that I didn't see. I'm actually playing STALKER again instead.

The hype is what gives these reviews their scores, this game is over hyped, its graphics requirement was disappointing for its style of art. Worst off is the fact that wrench > all weapons, and respawn of monsters while interesting, is a bit unnecessary. However, the critics hype it up, and give it ratings it does not deserve, most likely due to the lack of major FPS games out recently. The biggest disappointing factor that shows the truth behind why us gamers rate it much lower than critics for this game is simply because this game was not the flexible, challenging, unique FPS that others like Halflife displayed long ago. The story is weak, especially as it is obvious what is going on before you even crash into Rapture. This kills any redemption value Bioshock has due to its easy and therefore non-thrilling gameplay even on hardest difficulty levels. Story was more audio driven than anything, unlike narrative or script based. Sound is great however, except for some areas with more sound than necessary such as movement when there is none. Art and graphics are great, except they are nothing new than games when the Xbox360 came out, and that their engine could have done much more than a pseudo cartoony rendition with fake blood sprites being the kicker. Choices, while more (in quantity not quality) than other FPS, doesn't create any impact at all. Flexibility in skills and upgrades are non-existent.… Expand

    The hours spent playing this masterpiece were the perfect encapsulation of why videogaming is such a favourite waste of time for so many of us. Thrilling, terrifying, moving, confusing, amusing, compelling, and very very dark. BioShock isn't simply the sign of gaming realising its true cinematic potential, but one where a game straddles so many entertainment art forms so expertly that it's the best demonstration yet how flexible this medium can be. It's no longer just another shooter wrapped up in a pretty game engine, but a story that exists and unfolds inside the most convincing and elaborate and artistic game world ever conceived.

    There is art here, despite what many would say isn't possible with games, from Roger Ebert to game designers like Hideo Kojima... BioShock stands as a monolithic example of the convergence of entertaining gameplay and an irresistibly sinister, engrossing storyline that encompasses a host of multifaceted characters. This is an essential gaming experience.
