Burial at Sea part 2 had more stealthy gameplay but I wasn't feeling it also plot was very weird to me and it felt like they had retconned a few things when trying to tie everything together. I did not enjoy the DLC's as Burial at Sea part 1 felt very frustrating as they made things pointlessly harder with smaller clips and higher costing plasmids as enemies have stupidly high health.
Looks beautiful and Voxaphones are still nice but it feels quite dumb at certain points to me and less explained than the original Bioshock always "justifying" how this could work I guess. You get some guns/health/more power for your plasmids/small environmental hazards that are pointless where in the original bioshock were frequent and very useful/small cover area. Tears are the core gameplay mechanic addition which are just okay. They also regressed in the gameplay in a number of ways as you can only hold 2 guns with no alternate ammo types now (that you pick up and drop) along with gun upgrades just being generic and no affect visually. Infinite's story doesn't really hit me that strongly but there's a good amount with parallel worlds which almost always bothers me in most mediums maybe you'd like it more. DLC is fantastic though with the great gameplay and with a fantastic side story plot and feels like an actual place in a city. Also the places felt more like "levels" than parts of a city. Now you're a prototype Big Daddy which ruins some people's feelings of being against a city when you're supposed to be strong but on hard it doesn't feel like it so it didn't bother me because the prototypes weren't meant to match pre-civil war rapture. Pretty good DLC nothing too specialīioshock 2 is kinda controversial (not made by the director of 1 and infinite but most of the same team) with a not as good story but easily the most refined gameplay and makes you feel the strongest. Easily the best plot and pretty good gameplay.
Best bioshock infinite full#
I would definitely say the first is still the best with the most memorable characters and environment and encouraging exploration to get the full story while being optional.
