Bioshock (Remastered)

In the role of Jack, players explore Rapture, a failed utopia felled by ego and greed. Players will use various guns and melee weapons, as well as "Plasmids" that offer them magical powers such as electricity and fire. Gore and blood are persistent throughout the world and players will encounter multiple explosions. Players sensitive to seeing children as dangerous or enemies may struggle with the narrative. Players inject themselves with stylized needles to collect and grow their powers.
