Bioshock Remastered
This game aged like fine milk.
I already knew the main twist, though I had never played the original beyond the demo on the 360. That did lessen the impact, but it was still cool to find
Plasmids were fun to use, the way upgrading your weapons changes their appearance was cool and the whole underwater city thing was neat.
However, movement and combat felt sluggish, and things like not being able to aim or sprint don't help, the crosshair is hilariously big, to the point where it sometimes got in the way, damage effects are way too much, get hit by a turret and the whole screen goes white and starts shaking, in certain combat arenas this lead to several deaths as I was not able to see a thing. I was able to turn down some environmental effects but there's no option to lower or turn off some of the hit effects.
Then there's that ending bit, just as it was getting interesting
You end up instead with one of the most annoying escort quests,
It didn't help that this part bugged out on me several times, forcing me to reload the previous save, eventually I started saving every time the quest moved forward, in order to save some time and sanity.
Overall, I can see why it gets the praise it gets, but it's also a pretty rough experience to go through nowadays lol.
Grade: D (extra minus points for that 2K Launcher thing)
