20 Essential Video Games You Must Play Before You Die

20. Bioshock

In 2007 the world was already intimately acquainted with the concepts of first person shooters, role playing games, and survival horrors, but in August of that year 2k games proved that you could combine all three. The results were nothing short of spectacular.

Opening with a place crash and the protagonist seeking refuge in a sprawling, secret underground metropolis named Rapture, Bioshock was a long and engrossing battle for survival in a world that was slowly tearing itself apart.

From the morality-based gameplay, to the weapons and powers that could be harnessed, right down to the iconic characters you would encounter, Bioshock remains one of the most immersive games ever released.
