Nov 12, 2013Short for a $15 game, but then again, it's Bioshock. It's not about the length of the game, it's about the quality.
I would rather have a quality A+, polished game, than a long and unfinished one.
This is definitely worth the purchuse -
Nov 12, 2013I see that Irrational's devs and advertisers are already doing their stuff, as usual waiting for user scoring to unlock to praise their DLC from their mediocre "Game of the Year", that "perfection", that "master-piece after which you won't play anything else, I swear, just BUY IT and you'll see".... Not on my watch!

Nov 16, 2015Simply sets the scene for Episode Two and reviewing this by itself doesn't actually make a huge amount of sense.
As a stand alone DLC it's fairly bad but as said, it exists for a specific reason. -
Mar 2, 2022Just Bad. Written like a fanfiction.
Redcons a lot.
And people say BioShock2 was a souless cashgrab -
Nov 17, 2013This game does not scratch the rapture itch. I don't understand why there are skyhooks and why plasmids are named after vigors. But in the end, it's a good way to kill 2 hours, but not for $15.

Nov 15, 2013A decent DLC, it was great to get back to Rapture, but the story twists did not seem so fresh after the original Infinite's ending and I didn't have that WOW effect from the "shocking" ending. I hope that the best part of this side-story is being kept for Episode 2.

May 16, 2014If you care about the story at all DO NOT BUY THESE DLCS. They have bits that are internally inconsistent and completely ruin it... not to mention the ending is complete crap.

Nov 12, 2013Burial at Sea may have the familiar treadings of Infinite, but if you loved Columbia and Rapture, you get both in one sweet deal. Combat is more focused this time around and seeing Rapture at its peak of prosperity makes this game already worth the price of admission. I only wish it was a bit more different in its mechanics. I can't wait for Part 2.

Feb 20, 2019Rapture... home. Yep, we're back in home, it's a very short visit, but pleasant. We get to meet old friends again, hear some people gossip, use some gnarly plasmids and then's the end... which is actually pretty surprising, I love it. This DLC is short as hell and I think that Burial At Sea should be released as one entity, not two. Still, it's great, pick it up. Pickens approves.

Dec 31, 2013It really explains the story well and it is very well made, but it only took me an hour and a half to beat. This expansion takes what you already knew about infinite and helps relate it to the rest of the bioshock world.

Dec 1, 2014Burial at Sea can be completed in less than 1 hour. Nothing new here. My breakdown is as follows:
1. Graphics: 9/10 - excellent as the original game
2. Gameplay: 2/10 - linear, and super short
3. Story: 2/10 - what story?
Overall, below average DLC. -

PC PowerPlayDec 30, 2013The high price and lack of polish make this one to avoid for now. For art-deco die-hards only. [Jan 2014, p.93]
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Dec 28, 2013Short but generous trip into the underwater city of Rapture with all the perks we know from Infinite. This DLC benefits from an attractive setting and slower paced action. [Issue#237]
-
Dec 28, 2013A promising start? A rather cautious one. The return to Rapture evades déjà vu feelings, but it doesn't deliver more than a spark of curiosity for its fans.
