After playing through BioShock, I understand why critics and people who like overanalyzing media consider it a masterpiece. It's also easy to see the impact it had on the genre as a whole. Amazing worldbuilding and the story was better than I expected, it took some unexpected turns. With all that said I think it's just "pretty good", but while that may sound bad in comparison, it's certainly a compliment coming from someone who hates shooters.
