Art meets Horror.
BioShock is a very special videogame experience, it's beautiful but grotesque, lighthearted but dark, comforting but scary. I'm glad I gave this game a chance, for its time, this is no doubt an amazing game and it aged pretty well in almost every way possible.

The story is clever and the characters are well written, and there are some interesting plot twists near the end. The only issues I personally have with the story itself is the fact that it's told mostly via audio logs, and the final act is somewhat underwhelming compared to how masterfully crafted the rest of the game is.

As for the gameplay, it's decent, shooting feels okay, and the plasmids are very useful, you can unlock new weapons and plasmids, gather Adam to upgrade your equipment, and many more.

Navigating through the world makes the game something like a small open world, there isn't much to do obviously, but there are so many ways to approach combat and get resources, it's worth exploring.

This game is really damn good and worth playing to this day, it's an enjoyable experience, and pretty much timeless.

Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.
