    A well-made FPS game with a fantastic story. An experience of around 10 hours leaves a lasting impression as if it were 100 hours.

    Brilliant storyline, along with great gameplay and great graphics at the time make a perfect game.

    The pinnacle of RPG FPS games. A gripping story that doesn't shove the narrative in your face. The most important character in the game is the world, Rapture. The setting, tone, combat, and game systems work so well together and is the ultimate "shock like" title to date.

    An artwork, its gameplay is a 9/10, the story is a 10/10, the atmosphere, the enemies, the music, everything. Bioshock is art, that's all.

    Guys, you need to play this. All this shooter. He is very good. I won't say anything about it, you just have to play it. Plus, it sells for pennies.

    A beautifully realised FPS set in an art deco undersea realm that developed in parallel to our own world. An interesting story, plenty of nice embellishments and an original weapons system make up for a slightly unsatisfying combat system that relies upon your "respawning" when you are killed, which makes enemies more a nuisance than a threat.

The combat in this game is super fun and satisfying, also the different powers and abilities give you tons of ways to playthrough things again and again. The hacking system in this game is perfect in my opinion it is actually fun and takes a little skill. The enemies do get slightly stale after a while and could have used maybe 2 more types of splicers and 1 more type of Big daddy. Overall it is a great game but I don't think it is perfect. This game needs a remake it would be amazing especially after seeing Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4, and Dead space.… Expand

    One of the games you should point to when you want to prove to someone that game are an art form.For the first time in my life a game challenged me on an intellectual level when a game designer designs a game you dont ask questions you just play the game the designer wants and bioshock is the first game i have played that challenged that notion. Amazing work of art A MASTERPIECE

    Played this for the first time 2 days ago. Started it and finished it in the same day. The game was amazing. The setting of Rapture is such a damn good place. You feel trapped yet it still looks amazing. The Big Daddies are creepy yet cool looking, the Little Sisters are creepy and saving them is creepy.

    This game was shocked by the opening it´ś gruesome, and besides, maybe Half-Life and Halo is the game where I want to dive deep into the franchise's lore.

    Gran sparatutto in soggettiva: grafica e sonoro di alto livello, ottima giocabilità e un'atmosfera molto particolare, che richiama gli anni 50.
    Dinamiche varie e giusta longevità, alternanza di armi da fuoco e superpoteri molto interessante.
    Anche la trama è intrigante e ben studiata (cosa piuttosto rara nei giochi di questo genere).

    An absolute masterpiece. I played it in 2022 for the first time and my word does it hold up. I miss the days where we got a lot of good high quality linear games that were only 10-15 hours long. This is a must play!

    Dude? People who havent played this should, even if Bioshock 2 was bad, and Infinite was ok, the sort of soft horror this game gives off is what i loved, and it was extremely solid. Bioshock 1 is the best.

    Cool world, story, weapons, upgrades and mechanics. love the water.

    Cierto que la historia es algo dispersa pero aún así está bien narrada y ata casi todos los puntos con su universo.

    Dentro del Gameplay me ha parecido que ha envejecido realmente bien, con muchas posibilidades para enfrentar a tus enemigos y con recompensas a la exploración. Los plásmidos son geniales y dotan de un dinamismo al juego que aún juegos actuales no tienen.

    Donde Bioshock flojea es en algunas mecánicas.
    El minijuego de hackear corta y mucho el ritmo, siendo muchas veces injusto al ser aleatorio. La banda sonora apenas tiene algún tema que pase al recuerdo y la recta final es muy mala con un jefe final lo más insípido que he visto en años.    … Expand

    In a nutshell, beyond any shadow of doubt, BioShock is an excellent single-player shooter experience. The undeniable quality of this title and its emphasis on true and not pseudo-mature storytelling and character development make it a must-have for every self-respecting gamer.

    Its weak link is its unsatisfying no-skill-required combat, which might aim this one just over the head of the average Halo fan. But if you want to get a little fancy, there's a lot of fun to be had with some of the game's more indirect fighting methods. It builds an amazing atmosphere by using terrific graphics and sound to set a creepy mood. But BioShock's real strengths are as a compelling work of interactive fiction, and as a unique ride through a warped world with some great payoff built into its mysterious plot. If that description has you even the least bit interested, you won't be disappointed one bit.

    The first-person shooter's great looking, has an engrossing storyline, a perfect balance of action and exploration and a totally customizable combat system that can be described as nothing less than video game rapture.
