About
Explore the undersea city of Rapture, a haven for society's greatest minds that has devolved into a dystopian nightmare wrought by one man's hubris. Amidst the waterlogged ruins, a new ecosystem has emerged, where deranged Splicers hunt down the Little Sisters who would be helpless without their hulking Big Daddy guardians. Your only hopes for survival are quick thinking, reclaimed weaponry, and superhuman powers granted by DNA-altering Plasmids. To defeat Rapture's mutated monsters, you must become one. Also includes: - Museum of Orphaned Concepts - Take a tour through BioShock's beginnings across multiple exhibits in this virtual museum, from early concept art to full in-game models. - Challenge Rooms - Test your combat skills and puzzle-solving prowess with this noncanonical series of trials. - Director's Commentary: Imagining BioShock - Discover new collectibles to unlock episodic videos featuring insights from Creative Director Ken Levine and Lead Animator Shawn Robertson.

"To wrap things up this time, I can’t help but wonder: if you haven’t played BioShock, what have you been doing? It’s a true milestone and a major event of its time. A game that, back then, wowed players with its visuals, story, pacing—simply everything. This was a time when, for your money—which, I’ll admit, wasn’t cheap—you got a complete product, and it was definitely worth it. Its quality is evidenced not only by the fact that it spawned two sequels, but also by the fact that it was released on all the major platforms of its time. Plus, today you can pick it up on sale for the price of a nice ice pop—and get the remastered version to boot. The Epic Games Store even gave it away for free... BioShock is, quite simply, an atmospheric FPS with an interesting RPG system and a compelling story set in a truly breathtaking environment."
