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?
