BioShock is a dynamic, unique, and unexpected first-person shooter. You uncover a rusting bathysphere and dive into Rapture, a city buried beneath the sea after your plane crashes into unknown waters.
Rapture was designed to be an isolated paradise by corporate magnate Andrew Ryan, but the revelation of ADAM, a biological substance that can be utilized to confer superhuman abilities, started the city's chaotic collapse.
BioShock is a 2007 first-person shooter game published by 2K Games and developed by 2K Boston, later Irrational Games. It's the first entry in the BioShock franchise. The game is seen as a worthy successor to the System Shock series, on which several members of Irrational's crew had previously worked.
BioShock is a first-person shooter featuring stealth mechanics and role-playing game customization, similar to System Shock 2. You play as Jack as he is led through Rapture to accomplish various goals. As you go through the enemy troops, you gain a variety of weapons and plasmids.
You may switch between one active weapon and one active plasmid at any moment, allowing you to create combo strikes against certain foes, such as stunning a Splicer before striking them down with a wrench.
Many guns have alternative ammo types that may be used instead for extra advantages, like bullets that inflict fire damage. A lot of guns are limited by the ammo you collect through Rapture.
Plasmid usage depletes a serum called EVE, which may be replenished using EVE syringes you gather. You have a health bar that decreases when you take damage. Medical kits may be found everywhere across Rapture to help you regain your health. You will be revived in the last Vita-Chamber that you traversed with limited quantities of health and EVE if your health drops to zero.
The game gives you various possibilities for overcoming problems. You can utilize plasmids to lure enemies into traps or turn enemies against each other, or use stealth techniques to evade detection by hostiles such as security systems and turrets, in addition to direct combat.
You may hack into any of Rapture's automated systems through a mini-game similar to Pipe Mania in which you must link two spots on opposing sides of a grid with a limited number of pipes in a given period of time, failing to accomplish it in time will cause losing health and perhaps raising alarms.
You can get money through exploring Rapture and looting the bodies of killed enemies; this money may be spent at vending machines to refill ammo, health, EVE, and other things; vending machines, like security cameras, can be hacked to lower the costs of items purchased from them.
Completing various objectives, as well as saving or killing the Little Sisters after beating their Big Daddy, can earn you ADAM. ADAM is used to buy new plasmids from the Gatherer's Garden machines that can be found all across Rapture.
In addition to plasmids, you'll obtain and purchase tonics that give Jack passive benefits like increasing his strength, making EVE more efficient, or making him more damage resistant. You will only have a certain number of plasmids and tonics active at any given time, and you can switch between them at various stations throughout Rapture.

BioShock takes place in 1960. At the end of a civil war that left much of Rapture in chaos, Jack, the only survivor of a plane crash in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, finds the entrance to the isolated underwater city of Rapture.
Jack has no choice but to battle for his survival against Rapture's deformed and monster inhabitants, employing all forms of firearms and genetic enhancements, as he hunts for a way to return to the surface, after finding himself imprisoned in a bizarre and deadly dystopia and with only a mysterious man named Atlas to aid him.
Atlas tells Jack that the only way he can survive is to use the Plasmid-given powers and that in order to obtain their ADAM, he must kill the Little Sisters and their Big Daddies.
Dr. Tenenbaum, who has accidentally crossed paths with Jack, begs him to save the Little Sisters instead, offering him a Plasmid that can safely destroy the Sea Slugs lodged in each Little Sister, returning them to normal girls.
Based on how the player dealt with the Little Sisters, there are three different endings.

Rapture is a deadly place, therefore you'll need the finest Bioshock survival techniques to remain alive. You'll need to be smart, brutal, and patient if you want to live and reach the end of Bioshock's plot.
The following are a few tips that, if followed, can help you stay alive and in the battle for much longer, as well as survive Rapture.
●Upgrading Your Weapons
There are just sufficient upgrade stations scattered around the game that allow you to improve each weapon twice, which is the maximum amount of upgrades that every weapon may receive. Early on in the game, it's a good idea to improve some of the weapons with more common ammo so you don't get caught off guard, but it's still reasonable to prioritize upgrading your favorite guns to use.
●Hack, Hack, and Hack
Every vending machine, turret, and safe in Rapture, among many other things, can be hacked to your advantage. Vending machine hacking allows you to receive cheaper pricing on all things, which is very handy in higher difficulties where resources are scarce. The hacking takes some time, but with all of the perks that come with it, it's well worth it to do it whenever you get the chance.
●Explore everywhere
There's a good reason to explore BioShock's areas to their very last corner. Money, ammunition, and healing supplies of various types may be found in both visible and hidden places, so it's a good idea to search every desk drawer and decaying body you come across. This also means you'll have to spend less money at vending machines because you'll be able to locate whatever you need, as well as extra money while exploring.
●Don't forget about stealth
Surviving in the deadly passageways and rooms that make up Rapture requires a high level of stealth. Before attacking you, Bioshock's enemies must first detect you. This allows you to slip by your opponents and gain a superior position before attacking. It's great for dealing with big groups of enemies because it allows you to lay traps throughout the area with relative safety, as long as you don't get caught by Splicers or other foes.
