01Overview

BioShock is a horror-themed first-person shooter set in a steampunk underwater dystopia. The player is urged to turn everything into a weapon: biologically modifying their own body with Plasmids, hacking devices and systems, upgrading their weapons, crafting new ammo variants, and experimenting with different battle techniques are all possible. The game is described by the developers as a spiritual successor to their previous PC title System Shock 2. You explore the art deco city of Rapture, hidden deep under the ocean. Weapons range from revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers. Injectable Plasmids give you powers, such as blasting electricity into water to shock several enemies at once or freezing an enemy solid and shattering it with a wrench. You can also release a swarm of hornets from your arms and set enemies on fire. Security cameras and turrets can be hacked, and you find and craft ammo with different effects. Big Daddies and Little Sisters are the city's best-known inhabitants. The game is single-player.
