BioShock is a 2007 first-person shooter video game developed by 2K Boston and 2K Australia, and published by 2K. The first game in the BioShock series, it was released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 platforms in August 2007; a PlayStation 3 port by Irrational, 2K Marin, 2K Australia and Digital Extremes was released in October 2008. The game follows player character Jack, who discovers the underwater city of Rapture, built by business magnate Andrew Ryan to be an isolated utopia. The discovery of ADAM, a genetic material which grants superhuman powers, initiated the city's turbulent decline. Jack attempts to escape Rapture, fighting its mutated and mechanical denizens, while engaging with the few sane survivors left and learning of the city's past. The player can defeat foes in several ways by using weapons, utilizing plasmids that give unique powers, and by turning Rapture's defenses against them through hacking.
Runs well on modern hardware.

I love the aestethic of the game and the design of Rapture. Super fun, the combat is not complicated and theres a lot to explore. My only complaint is that the sound was off for some reason after the intro but it was easily fixed by plugging in a microphone.
sneeze irl? crash interact with a vending machine? crash interact with the ammo machine? crash open a door? crash the crashes also occasionally wipe all your settings so you better back up your ini files the game itself would be good but the stability is literal hell on earth, and apparently remastered is not much better.
My favorite game of all time! Atmosphere and it's unique identity are unmatched to this day. Performance and stability was always good for me on the remasters.
