    Burial at Sea: Episode Two is a great slice of DLC and a fitting end to the BioShock: Infinite universe.

    Engaging gameplay, and a fine way of tying up one of the most brilliantly crafted narratives around. [June 2014, p.70]

    If you are even a mild fan of Bioshock then you should definitely play this expansion, it is single player greatness that redeems the former episode.

    Burial at Sea - Episode 2 is the perfect ending for both of Bioshock games created by Ken Levine. The references and interconnections between both worlds are perfectly justified. Playing stealthy will test our skills because, due to Elizabeth's fragility, the enemies look really fearsome. State of the art visuals, but again, a disappointing lack of Spanish dubbing.

    A good game, but one that feels a bit emotionally bankrupt after the wonders of Infinite and the original BioShock. [Issue#243, p.56]

    Out of both dlcs chapter 2 is by far the best one and the story is very very good for me even rivals and surprases the main story one.

    While the first episode was terribly paced and felt rushed, this episode took it down a tone and introduced stealth, which is one of the bestWhile the first episode was terribly paced and felt rushed, this episode took it down a tone and introduced stealth, which is one of the best parts of this episode. The only complaint I have of this episode is the story, but even my problem wasn't major.

    Surprisingly, stealth feels great in Bioshock. While most gamers are used to the high paced battles in Bioshock Infinite and Episode One, this episode feels more calm and very welcoming to anyone not familiar with the stealth genre. The graphics are great as usual and the story of Elizabeth now being played by you and Booker talking to you through the voice recorder is a great change.

    However, the story gets very complicated at times and can be a bit overwhelming if you're not paying attention.

    About the ending, I think that it is fine and closes the Bioshock Infinite timeline well.

    Overall, Burial at Sea Episode Two is a HUGE improvement over the first and is a great closure to the Infinite series.    … Expand

Also, the change in pace and the stealth action makes this entry stand out and encourage taking in the scenery. On top of that, the story is engaging and ties up some loose ends along the way. Definitely worth checking out.… Expand

    I could argue that this might of been even better than my favorite game, Bioshock Infinite, but the only issue with me is that you had noI could argue that this might of been even better than my favorite game, Bioshock Infinite, but the only issue with me is that you had no companion, and that pretty much enhanced Infinite for me. Being Elizabeth was cool, but I did miss seeing her all the time and it made things a little awkward. DLC has good set pieces and ends the amazing story of Bioshock Infinite, while connecting it to Bioshock 1. It's longer than Episode 1, and doesn't drag on, the entire time you are playing it, you are doing something or seeing something interesting, even if there are a few too many fest quests. I HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who likes the Bioshock series.… Expand

    It's one thing to make bad DLC it's anther to ruin or take away from the main game with no real purpose. This DLC seems ore like SJW Fan FicIt's one thing to make bad DLC it's anther to ruin or take away from the main game with no real purpose. This DLC seems ore like SJW Fan Fic than anything else and that's withou the major plot hole Elisabeth could see, create and open doors at will preventing the her from having to die at the beginning.

    For instance Daisy Fitzroy in the main game was a radical psychotic killer who wanted Booker dead simply because it ruined her rebellion narrative and tried to murder a child out of revenge. But that apparently had to be fixed case you an't have a BLACK Woman as a protagonist.

    Now Daisy Fitzroy was only "pretending" to kill the child to get Elizabeth to murder her because that will make her a Woman somehow.......... WTF made no rational sense and an obvious SJW recon because reasons    … Expand
