Reviews from

in the past


I thought this game was mind blowing when it came out. I still like it a good deal! But it has retroactively been made worse in my mind after Bioshock Infinite's whole deal. It's hard to go back to this and not think about how dumb Ken Levine's writing can be.

Bioshock was a really good game. Nothing more to say, just play this and discover for yourself what it has to offer.

One of the greats of all time, played the demo and immediately went out to go buy the game late at night at Walmart.

Its perfect

-Played it as a kid, loved it back then.
-The mutations mechanic is very fun and the game becomes more enjoyable as you understand it better.


The unforgettable introduction (along with other moments) to Rapture is so captivatingly enticing in the way it submerges you into its world. The twisting narrative, fine-detailed setting, atmospheric storytelling and portrayal of philosophical themes are all well-crafted. FPS / RPG elements are mixed in well enough, weapons with plasmids are satisfying to use along with the environment to overcome foes and obstacles. Unfortunately there’s a significant momentum drop during the final segments and a very underwhelming ending, but everything up until the big reveal and of course Fort Frolic is wonderful. Not a huge fan of the silly research camera and story-explaining audio logs.

Um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos

Uma das melhores experiências que já tive. O level design é uma verdadeira aula, todos ambientes foram cuidadosamente pensados e desenvolvidos para funcionarem perfeitamente com a temática. A gameplay funciona impressionantemente bem ainda hoje, com um combate duro e brutal, mas que diverte e desafia o jogador a se aprimorar. A história desafia o comum do universo dos jogos, as discussões filosóficas envolvidas e dilemas morais ainda superam muitos jogos da atualidade.

Developers made the Story and Setting so perfect they let the themes of unrealized ambition, broken hopes and janky ideals seep into the gameplay.

Absolutely legendary game for me. Everything has purpose even down to the design of the city itself. Immersing the player by purposefully restricting them.

Every plasmid is useful, every turret is useful, upgrades, exploration, even audio diaries. And in the end, it's a 4th wall breaking love letter between the player and developers.

Is the man not entitled to enjoy any videogame?
'No!' says the sweaty hardcore, 'He should only enjoy games when they are difficult.'
'No!' says the VN reader, 'He should only enjoy good narratives.'
'No!' says the indie snob, 'He should only enjoy videogames made for art, not profit.'

I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.
I chose the impossible. I chose... Bioshock.

Lo de este juego es destornillante. Eh, lo pillais? No? Buf, en fin.

Este juego empieza casi diciendote la frase de que alguien tiene que limpiar los bateres incluso en una utopia y su puta madre que utopia, ademas de ser bajo el agua, lo cual aumenta aun mas el estilo waterpunk que tiene.

Este juego piso fuerte cual big daddy y seguira asi. Ojala hicieran una segunda parte.

Run of the mill shooter and wack hacking mechanics. Never really got into the story, I don't see the hype.

Quando aprendemos a jogar, fica bom. História boa.

Walt Disney builds a Utopia under the sea, but things go horribly horribly wrong.

Zoo wee mama this was one hell of a ride
The gameplay? really cool with the plasmids and huge variety of guns and ammp
The story? Also really cool but i actually think the narration was the strongest thing here and not the plot itself
And most importantly
The atmosphere and the aesthetic?
FREAKING
GODLIKE

quando menor peguei ele na locadora e bati cabeça quando era menor jogando, quando rejoguei achei muito foda e divertido com visuais incríveis

Welcome to Rapture! The gameplay mechanics in "Bioshock" are impressive. The use of plasmids, genetically engineered abilities that grant the player supernatural powers, adds a new dimension to combat. Whether freezing enemies with Ice Blast or setting them ablaze with Incinerate, the variety of plasmids encourages experimentation and strategic thinking.

Additionally, the game's morality system, where players must choose between saving or harvesting Little Sisters, adds depth to the narrative and forces players to consider the consequences of their actions. Go try it out for yourself.

I remember dropping this game because it gave me too much anxiety. Finished 3 years later and it was one of the best videogame experiences of my life

Yeahh.. i just played something else cause i played this in 2020

Uma das ambientações mais incríveis que eu já vi, além do constante sentimento de tensão, um jogo muito sólido.

Only flaw is you can't be a big daddy

I consider every Frank or person with a name that starts with A and ends with As an opp.

Me parece demasiado tosco, incluso para la época. La historia y su mensaje están guapos, pero creo que salió demasiado pronto, fue un poco adelantado a su tiempo

Holds up okay. Story is good, gameplay is a bit dull.
