In a nutshell, Elizabeth’s style is Thief-like, which is a good franchise to draw inspiration from. Irrational really took a chance with the switch to a lower-key approach, and it paid off. Instead of the same old “shoot everything” strategy typically employed by Jack and Booker before her, Elizabeth must instead rely on tools like sleeping darts and stealth knockouts to stand a chance. Simply put, the transition into Elizabeth not only works on a macro level, but the stealth ploy is actually fun, as well as unique. She’ll have to do this by way of stealth, and without the use of her magical “tearing” ability (which is explained by way of the narrative). Just in case you need a quick refresher, a “Previously on BioShock” video is very helpful for those of you who forgot the gist of the first game.
Elizabeth will find herself drawn into both the world of Rapture and Columbia, as she interacts with a variety of characters from both franchise worlds. So that leaves Burial at Sea Episode Two as Irrational’s last hurrah, and I’m pleased to say it’s a vast improvement upon the foundation that was built in Episode One.īioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode Two (PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360)Īfter a fantastic opening that links the worlds of BioShock and Infinite, this episode of Burial at Sea picks up right after the prior DLC, but this time we’re in control of Elizabeth. It’s probably going to be a long time before we get to debate the merits of another BioShock game again though, considering the fact that Irrational Games has dissolved, and is handing over the franchise to 2K. Some loved it, some hated it, others reveled in its celebration of violence, some disapproved.
BioShock Infinite had an interesting run, with player reception all over the board.
