    I cannot believe that I must say that I hated this.I did not enjoy playing as Elizabeth at all.No tears?Pretend stealth?Irrationals ridiculous 'circle of life' to make ends meet just as they close the studio?Look,Bioshock is still the greatest game ever created by quite a distance.Infinite is close behind,as is Minervas's Den.I've read the novel a half dozen times and I followed B2'sI cannot believe that I must say that I hated this.I did not enjoy playing as Elizabeth at all.No tears?Pretend stealth?Irrationals ridiculous 'circle of life' to make ends meet just as they close the studio?Look,Bioshock is still the greatest game ever created by quite a distance.Infinite is close behind,as is Minervas's Den.I've read the novel a half dozen times and I followed B2's build-up closely.Theres's almost nothing that I don't love or know about all of it.Friends,forgive my lowly 5.We'll probably never see or hear of Columbia again.Giving it a 5 BECAUSE it's Bioshock is humiliating for me...

    For those who purchased Burial at Sea Episode 1 and felt burned by the lack of content, Episode 2 is a fuller package, and worth picking up to finish the story.

    A slightly uneven but still arresting journey back to BioShock’s past, future, and present that makes a worthy protagonist out of Elizabeth, while introducing some downright cool new gameplay into the series’ mix.
