Well. I had heard good things about this game, and since it was on sale I thought I’d pick it up.
I regret it.
The first impression is the resolution is awkward. The aspect ratio looks odd (1920×1080) and the mouse feels odd.. like the game was made for the old aspect ratio and widescreen was an afterthought.
It’s “on rails” for as long as I could manage to play it, and then I got hopelessly lost and gave up. My waypoint arrow vanished at one point, and I had no idea where to go. Wandering around and around three times didn’t help.
Fighting is unforgiving. A single cast takes up a crazy amount of mana.
The ideas are all good. From multiple spells and multiple guns to different elements and ammo.
I was also horribly spoiled when told about the irishman.
All in all, it’s a game that might have been great at the time, but definitely doesn’t hold up enough for a new player now. I guess my love for this genre has bled out over the years.
I have the two other BioShocks, but won’t play them since I can’t slog through this one.
