Calling this a 'game' is a bit of a stretch.. even though a small amount of puzzle solving is required - It barely anything from the player to solve.

That being said... this is one of the best 'real life' stories I have ever had the joy to experience. My eyes watered up towards the end, it really is a great story; remarkably constructed.

Can't say much else without spoiling it... go experience it for yourself! It only takes 4 hours :)

With the core game done and all the DLC (Seriously - ♥♥♥♥ Clash in the Clouds), all 80 achievements have been downed.

So I guess its time to open up my opinion on the core game. Its story just HAS to be its selling point as it is one of the best stories ever conceived in gaming history... HOWEVER... that doesn't go to say that it is perfect. The game has a habit of leaving gaping holes in the plot and escaped a lot of responsibility by making certain characters omniscient.

Gameplay wise, pretty average. A mix between gunplay and vigors makes for a mildly interesting combat experience. If you play games for pure gameplay and not story - Bioshock probably is not for you.

For the DLC... Clash in the Clouds is entirely combat oriented. Because it focuses on the weakest part of the game - the gameplay (Weird, huh?) - the DLC sucks as a result.

Burial at Sea Episode one has terrible gameplay but a fantastic ending... While the second episode has amazing gameplay (Stealth is fun) but the story seems contrived at times.

Overall... Well worth the experience if just for the story (So long as you can overlook a few plot holes). But I would not buy this game on gameplay alone. If you can, pick up both Burial at Sea episodes, but feel free to skip Clash in the Clouds.
