Would you kindly…
These are three words every bioshock fan must follow. If someone were to say ‘would you kindly’ after they’ve asked you for something every bioshock fan must comply. And now I’m here to ask those that read this a question.
Would you kindly read this review for me?
The story starts off with the protagonist, who has just got himself in a plane crash…and has somehow survived. He then discovers a mysterious tower and decides to go in…and that’s when he discovers…rapture. The story is this sort of slow ride into the different areas of rapture, with each area having different characters to either befriend or kill. Throughout half of the game you’re accompanied by atlus, a sort of resistance leader, who ends up being frank fontaine. Andrew Ryan’s rival and the main man who wants to rule over rapture and get all the Adam he can possibly get. When this is revealed you are forced to go against him and free rapture once and for all…and this is where my only gripe for the game comes in.
The final boss is…underwhelming to say the least. As someone who played on the standard mode…the boss was super easy to finish and didn’t really take much, even with all the splicers and alarm bots coming in, they don’t really deter you much. And then the endings are just as weak. The good ending requires you to save all the little sisters which is the sweetest ending, and then the bad ending is where you harvest every single little sister and the splicers get unleashed onto the surface. As for the neutral ending…it’s basically the same as the bad ending…you may as well just harvest.
The gameplay is…pretty good ig. Plasmids are a great alternative if you haven’t got any ammo and are pretty fun to try and use, and the weapon selection is also pretty good. The big daddy fights are always exciting. Hacking is dreadful in this game, it’s really unintuitive to start with until you get the plasmids to help you make it easier, otherwise I hate hacking anything in this game.
Overalll, bioshock is pretty solid, not the best fps in the world and definitely not one I’m going to be flailing around about but still a solid game which I advise people to try.
Solid game, ok story, mid endings, lacklustre final boss, the little sisters really creep me out
