Bioshock franchise of games and story is propably one of my most favorite games alongside Metal gear solid, Half Life etc. And this game is so good at what its trying to do. This game is heavilly inspired by Bioshock which can be felt throught the game and the atmophere alongside the gameplay. And i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loved every second of it. (Even tho later on if you are like me playing everything, the gameplay can get stale and a bit boring).

The Story might be the weakest part of the game, its kinda confusing and open ended (because of the DLCs that gonna wrap up the story).

But besides that, the Music is phenomenal, its the traditional russian music mixed with electro/house music and it slaps so hard, mainly when you are fighting hordes of enemies or bosses.

The gameplay itself is fast, fun and satisfying, yes you can feel some jank but i dont mind.

Another weak aspect would be the "open world" but its not that big of a deal and i actually enjoyed exploring the facility.

As for the DLCs, First one is actually my favorite, its super fun, best melee weapon and power of slowing time and the story is fun with NORA. Second DLC is actually pretty good even tho the Surf is fun but the climbing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. And the third one is the most polished one and propably the best one in many people hearts but for me it was rather mediocre, the weapons meh, the powers meh, bosses were unballanced but the setting was phenomenal.

Maybe my mind will change here, but as of right now, I spent money on this and haven't wanted to touch it since. I was playing and trudging along (spent hours stuck in a limbo of combat), thinking it will certainly get better eventually. Alas, no. I just could not get over how janky it is. I don't know if it was trying to do or be too many things at once, but there's a lot of QoL that's lacking and cheapens the experience. It's also wildly repetitive. It's fun to kill robots for a little while, but the decision to keep them repairing continuously, non-stop, and then letting the player know that sometimes it's better to not engage - what other option is there? There is no stealth. You cannot annihilate an area for some peace, because the repair bots are there before you even finished off the enemies. You fight, or you run until you are inundated with 50 enemies on you. You get mere seconds to enjoy the atmosphere and the cool world they built. There were definitely better ways to do this without making it feel like a never-ending nightmare. I just expected a cleaner experience with invigorating gameplay, driven by a story. The "dungeons"/bunkers for upgrades are tedious and so much of what you're doing, you'll do 10 more times in the next area. I love the idea of the world this is set in, I love the concept, and I love the look. Everything's really cool in that regard, but you get dropped in and feel like you must have missed something right out of the gate. Heck, the path forward 90% of the time involves jumping or dropping or maneuvering to an area that looks like it would be out of bounds, off limits, or not the intended pathway forward. Good games gently guide the player along a path, while finding ways to nudge them back to the correct path if they seem lost or are not progressing. Something like a companion or NPC making a radio call after 5 minutes reminding your objective, the player character remarking on what seems to be the way around an obstacle, or even some debris falling or something in the environment to help force a player to look at and consider a certain direction. If you play Atomic Heart, you'll see exactly what I mean. It's not about hand-holding, no one's asking for that. It's about game design. I intend to finish the game some day, and maybe my mind will change when I do, but as of right now, I haven't wanted to bother. TLDR; a great vision not fully realized. It works in some areas while under-serving anything but repetitive combat in most others. It sometimes feels as though one game was being developed, then scrapped for another while keeping a majority of the components of the original vision.

La gente llora mucho el juego esta muy guapo y la musica es de lo mejorcito de los ultimos años
