“Solid gameplay, the story is not bad with a nice twist near the end, the idea of an underwater city is a cool and a scary concept. Plasmids are fun however I just kinda used 2-3 of them the whole game, it's mainly the…”

“Amazing gameplay, still holds up after 19 years, its strategic fast and has a lot of variety. and Don't even get me started on the world of BIOSHOCK. Rapture isn't just the backdrop of this game its integrated into…”

“just Finished the game, and honestly, it was pretty average for me. I don’t know where the big shock or crazy twist people keep talking about is—I really didn’t feel like it was anything that strong. The story didn’t…”
“The combat loop is a bit annoying, just brute forcing the enemies by returning over and over to kill them after dying because you ran out of ammo and the reloads are too slow to survive. The environments are beautiful…”
“BioShock is a really memorable game because of Rapture, the atmosphere, and the story. The gameplay feels a little old in some places, but it still works well enough and the whole game has a lot of style The shooting…”

“I prefer the original, but for some reason it does not play on Steam Deck well. So, this one will have to do. Replaying it is fun.”
“10/10 amazing game, ironically this was the last game in the series I 100%. now I'm thinking to do it again on the non remastered.”
“Bioshock is a game that should be study on what it means to be a MASTERPIECE. The story is absolutely brilliant and engaging through out the entire game because of the world building, environment, and characters. The…”

“The game is fantastic in every way: the gameplay, the world's atmosphere, and the music. It was released on September 15, 2016, but it feels like it was made yesterday – a game crafted with love.”

“Bioshock is an amazing game, but play the original with mods that make the game look better or quality of life, this remaster crashes too frequently and you can lose hours of progress if you are not saving often, even…”
“Bioshock is a masterpiece, you really need to try this game out. My recommendation is to try original Bioshock because Remastered has technical issues that haven't plagued me in the original, but nothing game-breaking…”

“Just finished this again recently after haven't played it since the days of owning on the Xbox 360. Definitely not a perfect game, the moral choice of harvesting or rescuing the little sisters is made almost meaningless…”

“I've played a few shooters in my time, and this is the best one so far. Plasmids add a lot to the gameplay. The variety of weapons is refreshing. The story is very good. I like that it's delivered via voice logs rather…”

“I am loving the story so far but as a person who is prone to getting headaches quite fast and not being able to handle motion sickness very well, this is not the way for me. I can't play for more than one hour tops…”
“Very chaotic and fun, but at the same time very overstimulating.”
“The original game was good. This one is more unstable, and lack of display contrast control. First few level are fine, but when I reached the level 6 and up to the end, it's pitch black in most zones! I killed ennemies…”

“BioShock is a classic and a must play if you haven't played it already. Although dated now, the story and gameplay are both top notch. This is a remastered version, but it does have some crashing issues... so you'll need to beware of that.”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“Wild that it's 20 years later and this game is still an unparalleled classic. Here's hoping we get another iteration of it one day. 10/10 I play it again every five years or so, wish I could play through it again for the first time.”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“DO NOT BUY THE REMASTERED VERSION OF THIS GAME. It crashes constantly, has horrible issues across the entire game, and 2K refuses to even acknowledge that the 2007 version RUNS better and with no issues. I spent over 2 hours just TRYING to get this game to work, guess what? It's…”
