The story was intricate, with an ending that at first I was unsure of and with music that pulled it all together well. So much so that i even sourced, like I'm sure many other people have done, the barbershop quartet rendition of God only knows.
The only downside of this game as Im sure anyone who has played mass effect and other choice heavy games will know that when given decisions to make you kind of hope they matter, and in Bioshock you didnt make more of an impact other than getting Booker a nice wound in his hand (or not).
However this is only one of few downfalls in an otherwise engaging game.
On a final note I would suggest this game for anyone who has had issues with followers in other games like in Skyrim etc as it makes a change to have someone helping rather than hindering your progress.
