If you've played the Dishonored games or Prey, they have a lot in common with BioShock. The setting, art design and music are the biggest draws imo, the actual gameplay isn't the best for what's mostly an FPS but the atmosphere is terrific. There's still a lot of memorable parts though, Fort Frolic is fantastic and Sander Cohen is a super compelling and fun level boss. I'm a weirdo that likes 2 a lot more than the original, but it has much better gameplay imo and the "defend the Little Sister" holdout sections let you get really creative with setting traps and using the whole sandbox. The Minerva's Den DLC for 2 is fantastic too.

BioShock Infinite's gameplay is pretty dumbed down, they made it a two weapon limit game with recharging shields (?) like Halo and half the weapons are like worse fighting game clone versions of the other faction's version. The story is wibbly wobbly timeline bullshit and the villain sucks imo, but the art direction and setting are cool, the skyline riding stuff is fun, and Elizabeth is a fun companion character. I'd say it's worth a playthrough but I never really wanted to revisit it and never played its DLC.

It's a pretty good game but it's very, very easy compared to the System Shocks. I'd say it's still pretty cool. Good ambiance and cool art direction. It holds up.

If you do play it though, be mindful that as an older game, it can crash frequently on newer PCs, and I don't think it has autosave.
