Re: Bioshock Post Mortem
I actually recently re-purchased it on the PC... Don't ask me why... I think I mostly just wanted it sitting on my PC shelf next to my copy of System Shock 2... Plus the price had dropped...
I, as with most people, thought it had a very nice plot, amazing atmosphere and supoib art design...
The gameplay, while somewhat addictivey fun (at least the first time through) was extremely simple and repetitive...
There were no real puzzles, there were no real obstacles, there were no real RPG elements, there was just point A to point B, shoot stuff on the way... And overall it just felt like a watered-down System Shock 2...
But I must say, even the plot lost me a bit at the halfway point, when it took the exact same twist as System Shock 2...
The entire way up until that point, I was saying to myself "They're using the exact same method of a person you never actually meet in person guiding you through a strange, hazardous environment... It's probably a red-herring and a nod for System Shock fans, it can't end up the same way."... Then it did... And I sorta let out a long sigh...
I'm reposting this video review, because it's amazing and dead-on.
