The first Bioshock is one of my favorite games, and Rapture was a delight to explore. It has some of the best level design I've seen in a game. I replayed it not too long ago, and while the gameplay is a bit rough, it was still enjoyable.

Bioshock 2 I've replayed about four or five times. The level design isn't as good (siren's alley and pauper's drop were cool), and by the end they're straight-up bad, but the gunplay is super fun and still holds up.

The story is..... unfortunately not as good, but I attribute that to the developers apparently being rushed to get a sequel out the door. The characters were all interesting, but I feel weren't utilized properly. Lamb started off as an intriguing character, and I liked how different she was from Ryan, but by the time the game comes to an end, she's just an obnoxious villain who's story falls flat. Sinclair kind of surprised me, given that he's presented as such a bastard in his logs and winds up actually being helpful and not backstabbing Delta at all. His arc ends a little too abruptly though.

I feel that 2 is a very underrated game, and with a longer development cycle could've been phenomenal. Still love it though and think it gets too much flak. Minerva's Den is one of the best DLCs I've played too.

Infinite fucking sucked though. Holy shit.
