If you never play anything else, play bioshock all the way through. Burial at sea 2 completes a mind bending saga that left me in tears. Game mechanics are great for this last episode, though I found it hard to survive and follow the story at the same time. This is as good as it gets. Start at the beginning and play through. If you don't cry, you're not human. Incinerate yourself.… Expand

   The main tool you'll be using is a crossbow with darts that knock your opponents out with ease, and some wisely chosen knickknacks like fire crackers and gas- to round out your already hefty array of powers and gadgets. The stealth oriented gameplay is amplified by the ability to use an almost 'detective vision' type of sight and see your enemies through objects, as well as the ability to essentially turn invisible and lurk about in the shadows. As much as I loved the explosive action of the Bioshock titles in the past, it is neat to see another twist for a change- and stealth is as good as any I've thought of before, as twist mechanics go. The ending ends up being very apropos, and you'll definitely love every bit of story this time around- making it much more interesting than part one was, and also a bit more bittersweetbitter. I loved every moment of this episode, even if I wasn't willing to fully let go in the end.
   
   Concept: Irrational's final tribute to Rapture and the culmination of a trilogy's worth of content in one brief, concise story that will continue the revelations we thought were already unveiled accordingly. Truly a masterful finish if there ever was any.
   
   Graphics: Still utilizes the same system branch-off of Unreal Engine 3 that the main title and Episode One also utilized, with great success.
   
   Sound: Remember all the voices we heard in Rapture and Columbia? Well, chances are most of them are back, or Irrational at least got excellent copycats to voice their slightly different characters here.
   
   Playability: The controls are as tight and easy to handle as they were in the main title and the first downloadable story episode, and still manage to add in uses for new weapons and gadgets as well, on top of that fact.
   
   Entertainment: It takes a different approach, especially during combat, but is no worse off for it. In fact, it's actually more fun than I had in episode one.
   
   Replay Value: Moderate.
   
   Overall Score: 8.5… Expand

   (XBOX ONE) Though this game and downloadable content includes plenty of flavor with its stealth game play its story can tend to dry things up(XBOX ONE) Though this game and downloadable content includes plenty of flavor with its stealth game play its story can tend to dry things up from time to time with unnecessary details and delay. Turning things around I never expected 2K to come up with a stealth downloadable content as fantastic as this one with a variety of new weapons as well. These weapons being, The crossbow with 3 variants, and an air grabber that knocks enemies out cold instead of killing them. There is also a new plasmid being Peeping Tom which makes yourself invisible and able to see through walls when sitting still. The only new vigor I'm not especially impressed with unlike the plasmid however it is called iron sides which collects enemy ammo. Its found upgrades are nice however. Beating this DLC twice first just for fun and second on 1998 mode (the stealth and hardest difficulty) I enjoyed this DLC and thought it was awesome.
