Pros
Pro Incredibly immersive plot and world
While the core of the story is told through character interaction, Bioshock does an incredible job making the world feel real by allowing you to discover more details of the world via reading diaries people left behind. This combined with the steampunk graphics style, fantastic soundtrack and the characters make an incredible atmospheric game.
Pro Plasmids keep the gameplay fun and exciting through different uses
Bioshock gives players the use of Plasmids, which act as this franchise's form of magic, and features many different kinds with various uses. For instance, you have access to Electro Jolt, which allows you to shoot lightning from your hand. If there are enemies standing in water, you can simply shoot electricity into the water and watch as your foes are electrified. Winter Blast also allows you to freeze enemies where they stand. Using this on a group of enemies will allow you to freeze them solid and shatter them with the use of a weapon, quickly reducing their ranks. Each Plasmid in Bioshock has its own uses which keep the gameplay fun and enjoyable as there are a myriad of ways to inflict them on your foes.
Pro Re-mastered version updates the graphics to modern standards
Pro Holds up incredibly well
Titan Quest is over 10 years old now, and it is still widely played. It even saw a remastered "Anniversary Edition" in August of 2016, drawing in more players, old and new.
Pro You can choose the speed you want to play at
Titan Quest is unique among ARPGs in that you get to choose the game speed. You can be a leisurely player and take things slowly, or you can go hard and play the game on very fast settings. The fact that you get to choose adds another level of enjoyment to the game.
Pro Replayability through different classes
There are a plethora of classes that open up upon leveling to the second level, once one is chosen the others will be gone for that game session. This means that a different playthrough will be needed to explore what all the different classes offer, making for quite a lot of playtime.
Pro Lots of loot to find
There is quite a lot of loot in the game to be found, which drives the player to continue playing, just to find that better weapon or piece of armor. The loot is also color coded when dropped, making it easy to discern what is worth picking up or leaving behind.
Pro Tons of customization
There are 30 different classes of characters to choose from within the game with 150 character skills that they can learn. This way users can customize their character to their liking and playstyle.
Cons
Con Overly complex plot
The plot is so deep it's sometimes difficult to follow. This isn't helped by the poor quality voices in-game which sometimes leave you guessing what was just said.
Con Combat feels a little static
Con Save anywhere does not save character placement
This means that there will be some retreading of areas once a save is loaded as the character will not be in the same place as where they were left off. This will waste time and can be frustrating having to do this every time you load the game.
Con Disappointing loot at later levels
Even when the player has reached a high level, they will often find loot meant for low level characters. This can be frustrating when trying to find better gear and just adds a lot of clutter to ones inventory as the majority of items found won't be that useful.
