Waaaaay too cheap. All I can say, really. Buy it.

Well, it's pretty much what I expected, I guess. Just wish there was an option for a bit more customization in the gallery but it's passable for the price.

Not really something I intended to get but it was said to be quick achievements so you gotta do what you gotta do.

Was pretty good the one time I got on before it got super popular and I could never get on again.

YEET. There's really nothing wrong with this game. I could beat everything after patience and time... and accidently leaving the computer on all night at the final round of the final level cause I totally don't have issues. If you're having trouble with the last round, you can place yourself bottom left and right one to basically stay still for at least 4-5 chains while you get psyched.

Anyway, with the skip option available, which I didn't use, and the delightful interactions with all the folks present, I really gotta say it was a fantastic albeit short experience. I enjoyed it immensely.

Hella

Well. It certainly looks quite good. Its just as old as the original, and I can't quite tell the difference, but at least the "No Gods, Only Man" banner that sets the pace for the game is actually legible.

Pros: It was Always a Good Game.
Like, a really good game.
Looks fantastic, but some basic design choices that added atmosphere were not recreated properly. (Dry lighthouse, I'm looking at you)
Technically can recognize old bioshock 1 files
The Ini has the same basic structure, so fixing the basic problems is cake. (the kind you have to work for)
Has a DirectX 11 renderer. (Yes Really), check the ini, and try out the -dx11 argument.

Cons:
The weapon/plasmid (magiscience powers) swap is still really clunky. If they would fix, or updat it to be like the other games, I would have no further requests.
Can't actually load the old files as far as I have tested.
Clearly botched the menu, removing the good from the old menu . And the display section is a cruel joke, compared to the prior one, not to mention it fails to save all settings properly.
DirectX 11 Mode is 80% broken but looks amazing when it actually loads what it is supposed to. (enemies and items flicker in and out of existence, like, super glitchy)

tldr; Would You kindly buy the original at an uber cheap price and enjoy a fantastic game? Hopefully, the remastered version comes with a free old one, and/or vice versa.
