Unpopular opinion, but I actually didn’t like Bioshock. Loading it up first time it was initially cool and all, but after a while of playing, I realised it lacked or fell short in a lot of areas. Lots of things were “almost there” so overall it was quite annoying to experience. I only completed it because I’d gotten far enough in, may as well.
lol i share the unpopular opinion, as well as the downright hated opinion of despising infinite. everyone fell in love with elizabeth while i was thinking “this is the most annoying npc in history.” aside from that the game was meh af
It’s the arcade-ified evolution of System Shock, IMO.
It has a lot of the same mechanics and ideas; but it’s all an inch deep instead of having any real depth.
As an RPG hybrid, it kinda sucks. As a straight up FPS, with action as the primary feature, compared to the contemporaries at the time is pretty good. Similar to how Fallout 4 sucks ass as an actual RPG, but is a pretty great FPS.

Bioshock was a cut down version of the “shock” gameplay - no inventory management, much more linear path, etc.
I remember at the time people complained that it was “dumbed down for console”.
I still enjoyed it though, but I can see why veterans of the genre would feel things are missing or fall short while newcomers would be blown away.
Yeah, that probably it. I got that “This is it?” feeling, while it seemed many others were hailing it as a masterpiece.
