BioShock vs Black Skylands
BioShock
BioShock is one of the most highly acclaimed steampunk-themed shooters that has a very interesting twist - your very character's DNA can be modified through the use of a selection of plasmids and a special resource called ADAM, allowing you to have superhuman abilities which will serve you well, sometimes more so than the weapon you wield, in your adventure through the fallen underwater city of Rapture. Aside from the many violent mad men (a.k.a. Splicers), the game also provides players with challeging encounters with the iconic Big Daddies and Little Sisters.When it comes to non-military-styled shooters with an intensely immersive storyline, BioShock is among the handful of the "best of the best" (which includes the Fallout series, the Borderlands series, the Deus Ex series and others). The game boasts of having a rather dark storyline that actually challenges you to think about it in a more in-depth way; to link all the clues together to get the complete narrative that is surprisingly a lot more engaging that you'd expect.
2K Games has just released the remastered version of the very first Bioshock last year and if you can get it on Steam, you really should. The very unique experience it can offer you is very well worth the cost.
Black Skylands
Black Skylands is a sandbox-based adventure set in the skies. In this game, you’ll not only get to customize your very own airship and rebuild the Fathership (your home base); you’ll also get to embark on an exciting adventure to recover various floating islands in Aspya from the Falcons in the name of the Earners. To do so, you’ll need to clear all Falcons on those islands. And there are also creatures from another plane...For what it’s worth, Black Skylands is truly a very promising game, but the game has way too many bugs and issues to provide a suitably enjoyable experience. It is possible that your hours of effort will just go down the drain if you happen to encounter a bug that required a fresh gameplay to fix. It might be wise to wishlist the game for now and buy it later down the road, maybe after the game is launched.
