My lasting impressions of Infinite all come from its story, and Burial at Sea Episode 2 adds plenty to the lore. I also had some problems with the navigation – a few times it just led me in circles, and it didn’t seem interested in helping me find side objectives, even when I set them as a goal.
There are occasional frame rate drops, but nothing more than a nuisance. Rapture still looks fantastic, and the dialog and character voices are excellent. Elizabeth can still pick locks, but it functions like a mini-game – if I did it right I could earn a noisemaker useful for distracting enemies wrong and I would trigger an alarm.Įpisode 2 is the same as its predecessor in terms of presentation, for better and worse.
I could, however, use the Possession plasmid to turn its attention to Splicers in the vicinity, giving me a chance to sneak by unnoticed. I also encountered a Big Daddy, and the game was quite clear in stating that it would kill me immediately, and I had no chance against it. Elizabeth can also crawl through vents to reach new areas, and can land from jumps in a crouch to make less noise.Įnemies are standard fare for Rapture – mostly Splicers, occasionally armed with plasmids. The first plasmid found is Peeping Tom, which allowed me to see enemies through walls, or go temporarily invisible to evade pursuers. When sneaking up on enemies there are variables to consider – carpet muffled footsteps, while stepping in water or on broken glass alerted nearby enemies to my presence. The game play shifts to accommodate this emphasis on stealth. The more traditional hand cannon and shotgun can still be found, but I found myself avoiding their use as much as possible. Sneaking up on an unaware enemy will allow a melee attack that renders them unconscious, and the starting weapon is a crossbow loaded with tranquilizer darts.
The focus of the combat also shifts towards more non-lethal means. Her ability to open tears and see alternate universes is gone, and she has no special powers at all. While Elizabeth begins where she left off, in pursuit of a young girl named Sally, she is not the same as before. I won’t say why for those who haven’t played the first part, but this entire episode is played as Elizabeth. The second continues in that direction, and adds some additional changes to facilitate playing as Elizabeth. The first half of Burial at Sea made some core changes to the game play, re-introducing the weapon wheel and putting an emphasis on stealth. The world of Rapture has always been interesting. Fortunately, when I started the game played me the last 30 seconds or so of audio from episode 1, which served to remind me where I was. It speaks volumes about the goal of episode 2 – connecting the world of the first game with that of Infinite. I was surprised when, instead of covering episode 1, it instead recapped the events of the original Bioshock. Since several months have passed, I was happy to see a “previously on” option in the menu, hoping it would remind me of everything that was going on.

While I’m sad that this is likely the end of Bioshock, the series definitely goes out on a high note.Įpisode 2 picks up right where episode 1 left off. Episode 2 redeems those complaints by doubling the content and adding in a ton of plot revelations. Costing $15 and running between 90 minutes and two hours, it felt light on content for the price. The first episode of Burial at Sea certainly left me curious how the second would play out, but felt like kind of a tease. The fact I have to buy them I find abhorrent as well.Diving further down into an already deep plot. Having to pay for a Season Pass to get more Infusions. Its annoying to stop yourself and look through it. The GUI doesn't consume health or salt packs so why not leave the food alone too.

I find this abhorrent.Ĭonsuming food even though you are full health/salts. You can only have one game running at a time unless you do some creative file saving in the background. A lot of guns felt like just a repeat of another gun. Music!!!! Love all the redos of 80s music. Let's hear it once again for Jennifer Hale. They created an incredible world for this game. I wish you got all of them earlier so you have more time to play with them. I wish they had incorporated it into more areas for combat and exploration. It also adds to the story because you value Elizabeth more because she is so helpful.
Whoever designed that entire system did a real good job. I was surprised that the companion NPC was so much a help instead of a hindrance. I totally recommend this game to anyone who likes either FPS or story driven games.
