BioShock vs FAR: Changing Tides
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.
FAR: Changing Tides
FAR: Changing Tides is the highly anticipated sequel to the breakout indie game where you pilot a ship through a post-apocalyptic world. Solve various puzzles to move forward, manage your ship (and its fuel) the best you can, and simply sit back and enjoy a sublime experience exploring the world and discovering stories that the collapsed civilization left behind.FAR: Changing Tides is a worthy sequel to its incredibly well-received original. Featuring astounding new graphics, this game basically offers more of the same while allowing players to discover more parts of the same post-apocalyptic world, giving them the chance to tinker around with some new mechanics while solving puzzles, and providing them with a familiar yet unique enough experience.
It’s definitely a game that fans of FAR: Lone Sails would enjoy, but it’ll also work as a great introduction for new players diving into the FAR world for the first time.
