If you’re not familiar withBioShock, I envy you. They’re decent first-person shooters with straight-forward character progression and simplified elements from immersive sims, such as stealth and hacking. They’re also narratively exciting, with wild twists and surprises worthy of the visual splendour of their fantastical underwater and up-in-the-sky settings. I think they’d be fun to play for the first time today.
Unfortunately, they also contain political allegories, which prompted several years of the most tedious and embarrassing online discourse imaginable after their release. There’s plenty to praise and criticise in all of the BioShock games, but they’re Edward Scissorhands not War And Peace, and best approached as thrilling rollercoasters.
Head to Epic’s game store the Epic Game Store toadd BioShock: The Collection to your account. It’s hours and hours of lush singleplayer gaming that would normally cost £40/$60.
It’s been almost ten years since BioShock Infinite was released, though anew game is now in development at a new studioandNetflix announced a film adaptation in February.
