BioShock | The Downfall of Objectivism
7This video is an in depth review of BioShock and its main theme: Objectivism, but not only!
We'll progress little by little in each maps the game offer and detail the most important events while talking about everything the game has to offer from its gameplay to its art style, soundtrack and everything else.
This video was made by playing BioShock: Remastered on Steam, all gameplay footages belong to me.
BioShock is heavily inspired by Ayn Rand's philosophy: Objectivism as well as her two books called The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Feel free to look them up if you're interested by these.
