BioShock has been hailed as one of the greatest games ever made, and when I first tried it, I didn't really see why. I didn't play the game for six months, and after being unable to get back into it, I made a new save around a week or two ago and fell in love with it. My appreciation for BioShock grew exponentially, and I'm really, really glad that I gave the game a second chance.

The strongest aspect of BioShock is its atmosphere. Rapture is an incredibly fascinating setting, with tons of lore and complex characters, and this already interesting setting is made even better thanks to its creepy, atmospheric sound design and beautifully unique art direction. Although it took me a while to get used to BioShock's gunplay, I loved how plasmids were implemented, especially with how they worked with elements from the environment, which makes each level seem less like just a simple area filled with enemies and more like a part of a dilapidated city.

Again, I'm really glad that I made that new save, because if I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to appreciate BioShock nearly as much as I do now.
