Being made by ken does not make it a bioshock game. Being a spiritual successor does not make it a bioshock game. Especially since bioshock 4 is still in development hell.

* IntoxicatedSuperpowerSnag: Both [[VideoGame/BioShock1 Jack]] and [[VideoGame/BioShock2 Subject Delta]] find that alcohol drains their EVE bars, leaving them with progressively less energy to use on plasmids... but on the upside, [[BoozeBasedBuff alcohol restores their health bars]], so it's useful if you don't have any health kits and don't mind squandering mana. By contrast, nicotine regenerates the player characters' EVE bars but damages their health bars.

* FantasticAesop: ZigZagged. The narrative offers up a lot of perfectly valid points for why each games' respective [[FalseUtopia "ideal"]] utopian society cannot ultimately sustain itself, but Raptures also heavily depends on the proliferation of genetic modifiers and performance enhancers that drive their users violently insane; something that would eventually cause ''any'' kind of political or economic system to collapse. Though to be fair, said PsychoSerum didn’t cause Rapture’s downfall but rather merely accelerated it.
