BioShock (Irrational 2007)

Rapture is a city like no other. Built on the seafloor of the North Atlantic ocean, it was a place to escape the growing threat of nuclear war, as well as government and religious interference, while at the same time championing things like personal freedom, science and industry. Construction began in 1945 and it was officially opened up to its carefully chosen guests on Nov 5, 1946. With its grand Art Deco architecture, glowing neon signs and glass tunnels connecting the towering buildings, it was a spectacle that could take your breath away, time and time again.

BioShock as a whole hits so many right notes and i feel it’s one of gaming’s crowning achievements, especially when it comes to its visuals. Something that’s quickly apparent is that you’ve never played a game that looks quite like this. Its well researched art direction is flawless and coupled with creepy atmosphere and the huge glass windows looking out into the depths, it has a way of mesmerizing you from the second you start playing.

BioShock will have been out ten years ago tomorrow (August 21, 2007), so i figured it made sense to repost a quick review of one of my favorite games of all time. With all the versions combined (the Xbox, original PC release, Remastered) i’ve easily spent over 500 hours playing and taking screenshots of the game, and to this day, it has never lost its special quality that hooked me from the very first time i booted up the demo. So thank you Irrational and 2k, for creating this amazing experience. It will forever be a masterpiece in my eyes.

And for anyone that’s interested, i’ll also include links to my Steam galleries, which are kind of like a best-of from all the screenshots i’ve posted here over the years.
