Rapture is a visually stunning place, made with great attention to detail and a lot of spirit, with the caveat that it's suspiciously close to Fallout at times. Rapture is a mix of a Victorian world with a retro-50's world; throw in some steampunk elements and you're sure to be visually wowed frequently as you make your way through the game. This tough combination of settings is done extremely well here, with an obviously consistent vision stopping it from feeling too dispersed.
The atmosphere is supported by the amazing voice acting. And you will hear people talk a lot, not just through the radio or old audio recordings, but also in the eerie sound of a splicer talking to himself about various insane topics or a Little Sister innocently frolicking about talking about angels. The music fits in well, complimenting the background noise of bulkheads grinding or the jarring beat of a Big Daddy's heavy feet thumping in the distance.
