    I know i'm bucking the trend here, but I found Episode 2 less enjoyable than Episode 1. I absolutely adore the lore of Bioshock and any opportunity to take in those magnificent views of Rapture are always welcome, but I found the gameplay to be quite the opposite of what you would expect in a Bioshock game. Obviously with a character like Elizabeth you cant really be running-and-gunningI know i'm bucking the trend here, but I found Episode 2 less enjoyable than Episode 1. I absolutely adore the lore of Bioshock and any opportunity to take in those magnificent views of Rapture are always welcome, but I found the gameplay to be quite the opposite of what you would expect in a Bioshock game. Obviously with a character like Elizabeth you cant really be running-and-gunning but I found the overuse of stealth to be frustrating at times. I would have preferred if the game focused more on puzzle solving, storytelling and the occasional stealth segment than constantly having to sneak through rooms of 15 splicers who are ultra-alert to your every footstep. But thats just me. Just be prepared to stay low and slowly sneak your way through this 3hr story DLC. Expand

    Why did they let Liz die. It doesn’t make any sense. Oh I don’t like the story in the dlc.

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

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

    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.
