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

    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

    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.
