Hey there everyone and welcome to the third part of my Nostalgia Nation playthrough of the original Bioshock, though this time being played in it’s remastered form on PlayStation 4. As with all Nostalgia Nation titles, this is not my first time playing the game, though it has been a long time since I played Bioshock (some 10 years ago), so it’s almost like a brand new playthrough…almost.
In this third stream we start off where we last left the game, Arcadia, home of the Rapture artist Sander Cohen. Here we’re tasked with helping Cohen finish off his “masterpiece”, the Quadtych, a series of…let’s just say statues holding four photograph frames that we need to fit specific images into. After our time in Arcadia we make our way to Hephaestus, location of Andrew Ryan’s offices but also of several powering systems that we need to tamper with in order to even get in there…and that’s where we end the stream, ready for the next stream with one of the greatest twists in gaming history.
Until next time…buh-bye!
About Bioshock
BioShock is a 2007 first-person shooter game developed by 2K Boston (later Irrational Games) and 2K Australia, and published by 2K Games. Set in 1960, the player guides the protagonist, Jack, after his airplane crashes in the ocean near the bathysphere terminus that leads to the underwater city of Rapture. Built by the business magnate Andrew Ryan, the city was intended to be an isolated utopia, but the discovery of ADAM, a genetic material which can be used to grant superhuman powers, initiated the city’s turbulent decline. Jack tries to find a way to escape, fighting through hordes of ADAM-obsessed enemies, and the iconic, deadly Big Daddies, while engaging with the few sane humans that remain and eventually learning of Rapture’s past. The player, as Jack, can defeat foes in several ways by using weapons, utilising plasmids that give unique powers, and by turning Rapture’s defences against them. Bioshock was originally released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360, but has since been re-released on several different consoles, and also remastered for other platforms, including this playthrough’s recording on PlayStation 4.
