In just three games, the BioShock saga earned a special place in players’ hearts. It boasts detailed, completely unique characters and worlds. The first two parts take place in the underwater city of Rapture, where the player immerses into the art-deco style and the atmosphere of the 1950s. The third part, BioShock Infinite, takes you to 1912 and invites you to explore the sky city of Columbia in a steampunk setting.

You’ll find:

• reflections on the sources of inspiration of the series’ creator Ken Levine;

• an exploration of the unique gameplay and mechanics;

• details of the development of the franchise’s games—from idea to release;

• a deep analysis of the plot, themes, and characters of each part.

The authors pay tribute to a popular game series which, despite its short history, has already earned critical acclaim.
