I’ve always considered Bioshock a horror game but not everyone agrees on this. The developers have stated they were inspired by survival horror games like Resident Evil but inspiration from a genre doesn’t automatically make it that.

    I hear that, yeah it’s kind of in-between. If someone asked for a horror recommendation you’d probably think twice about it.

    But at the same time, if someone said “I absolutely do not want a horror game” then you’d also be thinking twice, right?

    I think it’s fair to call it a blend. Not too heavy on the horror but it’s there. Plenty of games are like that. Sorry people tried to fight with you about it lol, some people get bent out of shape too easily

      The debates were usually with my friends so it wasn’t heated, just a bunch of nerds arguing about games but I’ve definitely had conversations about it in other gaming communities.
