I am Frostee and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a consumer not entitled to a complete game on release? No says the designers, we need more time to fix the bugs. No says the publishers you need to buy the season's pass. No says the shareholders, you have to wait for the next game. I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose to play something else entirely, i chose the impossible, i chose Bioshock... A game where the player need not fear the loot box. Where the player would not be bound by linear paths. Where the story could be enjoyed to the fullest extent. And with the sweat on your brow, Bioshock can become your game as well

Had the privilege to play and go into this game blind, and my goodness was it a treat. The atmosphere, the setting, the foreshadowing, the audio tapes, etc. is what kept me drawn in and continue to play till the end. (despite not playing games that involve shooting too frequently. I'm pretty bad at them lol.) Its safe to say that if you play this game blind just like I have, im jealous cause I wont be able to experience it blind anymore. The ending was worth it and very beautiful. Now would you kindly stop reading reviews and play this fantastic game already?

This game is one of the very best games of all time. the story and the gameplay are some of the best. And now its a shame that people are review bombing a game that is older than they are for "spyware" that doesn't exist. The game came out in 2007 and hasn't been updated since 2016 and the multiplayer shut down ages ago. If you are reading the reviews telling you this game is spyware or that any 2k or take two game is spyware, they aren't. Check out EpicNNG's and SomeOrdinaryGamers video about the new TakeTwo EULA. The EULA is just corporate thing so that they can cover all legal bases. If you are so worried about "spyware" please delete your steam account, your gmail account, your youtube, stop using any internet browser, and delete every social media account you have because they are "spying" on you more than any take two game is. I genuinely challenge anyone to show me where in the games files or code where the "spyware" is.

10/10 – A masterpiece. BioShock is one of the most atmospheric and thought-provoking games I’ve ever played. The world of Rapture is hauntingly beautiful, the story is gripping with unforgettable twists, and the gameplay blends action and strategy perfectly. Even years later, it holds up as a shining example of storytelling in gaming. An absolute must-play.
