dark emotional tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Welcome to Rapture.

A painfully dark, eloquent prequel to one of the best games ever made, the author masterfully references and explains in game lore without compromising on narrative prowess. 

I really loved exploring Rapture through Bill's eyes, a character who does feature in the games first installment (in some form or another) 

Supporting media for games is tricky, as they remove the interactivity, but I was consistantly impressed with how much the novel added to my love of the game.

Would you kindly play Bioshock again?

3.0

This is my second time reading this and it's decent enough, it's a good back story to everything rapture but for me I get bored with it easily, it's long and slow and the characters aren't loveable so it can be a hard read
Love BioShock as a whole though
