    İnanılmaz bir dünya yaratmış. Harika bir hikaye anlatıcılığı. Aksiyon biraz takoz dursa da dönemine göre epey iyi.

    В плане сюжета, атмосферы, персонажей и в общем происходящего, это нечто очень крутое, особенно для игры 2007 года. Но к сожалению, сам геймплей не настолько продуман, как будто не до конца додумали, не довели до финальной версии.

    The story and environment of this game - the dilapidated ruins of a utopian underwater city called Rapture in 1960 - is incredibly imaginative.

The stylish and somewhat cartoony graphics contrast unnervingly against the violence and dark psychological overtones. Unfortunately, the gameplay gets repetitive at times, since everyone is essentially a drug-addled lunatic who is out to kill you … just because. I think this game would have been better if it involved less combat and perhaps some interactive dialogue. The story reaches a very interesting and surprising climax.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, when i bought Bioshock my expectations weren't too high for it, i knew the game was good but i thought it was just good. After playing it to the end, Bioshock was ruling my mind, i was thinking all the time about this game, the meaning behind jack's journey, the atmosphere, the art deco art style and so on. Bioshock was too beautiful and meaningful to be forgotten about, it was a game that changed my perspective in many ways, fort frolic was enough for me to understand this game was something special. Ken Levin really innovated with this game and showed the world that even behind this bang bang and shooting in video games, there can be a meaning.… Expand

    Just like Half-Life 2, BioShock is another experience that you should play before you die. The Expertly-written story and the perfect atmosphere of Bioshock makes it one of the best artistic works in the world.

    There are very few linear games that I enjoy, but Bioshock is one of them.

Set in an atmospheric underwater dystopia, it features an excellent story and interesting characters whom we get to know through a combination of radio transmissions and prerecorded messages. 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. Overall this is a quality game and an experience I would definitely recommend.… Expand

    10/10. Nothing else I can say. Story is great, and the most iconic plot twist just second to Star Wars’ “I am your father” twist.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A man chooses, a slave obeys. Bioshock is one of the best classics on PC alongside the original Half-Life, an iconic title that nails atmosphere and story perfectly, i have no single complaint against Bioshock, it's a magical experience, the first time we saw rapture was like the tram sequence in 1998. Bioshock's visuals are timeless and the story is so powerful that can still be affective 13 years later. After the big twist is revealed the game kind of loses its edge but the endings and the final areas are so deep and worthwhile, now the final boss can be a bit disappointing but the endings makes up for it. Bioshock is the ultimate first-person shooter experience of the 2000's and one of the best games ever made.… Expand

    Да вообще-то много чего в игре сделано криво, тревога на минуту... а может 10 блин , больные люди.... Это бесит мягко говоря. А задания собери 5 частей бомбы или разные ресурсы, дико бесит и стопает темп игры ( в эти моменты хочется просто закрыть игру) Плюс это по всей карте...
    Взлом... в первые разы кажется что прикольно, но вскоре игра с нокии про трубопровод, начинает очень сильно раздражать, спасибо хоть за отмычки...

    Ругать игру можно, так как действительно много чего раздражает и не понятно почему сделали так, но как бы я её сейчас не ругал, после прохождения , отличной концовки, коих тут две , меня посетила мысль, что игра все-таки очень крутая, с крутыми колоритными персонажами.

    This game isn't just another first person shooter game. The story is so good. This game proves video games are art. The way Rapture looks shows the disaster that happened. The lore is so interesting. The story pulls you in and I begged for the story not to end. This game is a must play and is a masterpiece.

    The art deco style of Rapture is a one of the most unique across the genre and provides for an excellent atmosphere that is beautiful, mysterious and even occasionally frightening. This also allows for this game to stand the test of time graphically.

    The story and lore is not overbearing or complicated and allows for the player to dwell on their own experiences and feelings about the characters and scenarios. You will come away from this game with a lot of different feelings about the events that occur throughout the game.

    A dark and astonishing masterpiece...I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five. [Sept 2007, p.66]

    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.
