Skipping Bioshock is probably for the best. It felt cool and subversive 20 years ago. But it's just:
What if Ayn Rand's vision of the future looked extremely cool as fuck—like, hella tight, the absolute sickest vibe you can imagine—and we did some superficial criticism of it? We are very intelligent and progressive liberal devs.
Bioshock is one of my favorite games ever, how dare you describe it this accurately
I was mainly in it for the gameplay. And the setting was cool. Always thought the story was a little superficial. Like, hey newcomer, have all these super powers and undo the bad stuff our people caused, fight monsters — like, was all this available to everyone who lived there? No wonder your shit's broken, you built a city underwater and sold superpowers in vending machines, what did you think was gonna happen? And then the big guys with big drill arms, that's a great thing to let loose in an underwater city. I'm sure the Big Daddies came later. Maybe. Or they were suits for mining but then why are there so damn many of them? I dunno. It was weird.
I remember getting to a garden, if that makes any sense. Like a "Garden of" something. Never played the second one, played a bit of Infinite.
Just play System Shock 2 which is a much better game and a real RPG to boot
