In the end, I quelled my impatience, and settled down, begrudgingly, to play the sequel, assuring myself that I was saving the best for last.īioshock 2 doesn’t quite have the same wondrous, chilling ambiance as its predecessor, but what it lacks in atmosphere it makes up for in charm. I was eager to dive into this seemingly critically acclaimed capstone of the series, having not yet had my fill after the series’ eye-opening first entry. The thing is, I’d heard nothing about the second game, and it was, from the brief skimming of research that I pursued, considered something of a near-forgotten middle child. Now, when I started the trilogy, of course I did so with the first game (and of course I loved it), but you may be surprised to learn I struggled with which game to play next. Warning! Spoilers ahead! If you’d like an opportunity to form your own opinion before you read mine, you can find your own copy of Bioshock: Infinite here. And having in the interim years mustered my courage enough to play through the entire Dead Space trilogy, I figured I could finally handle this.

All three games (and you knew I’d never paid attention to the series when I didn’t even know there was a Bioshock 2) in one package.

It was, legions declared, one of the Greatest games of all time.įast forward almost decade later, and I, now an adult no longer dependent on Christmas and birthdays for game access, lazily scanned through the inter-webs, intent on scooping up the now heavily discounted PS4 games being sold in the console’s supposed waning twilight years, only to stumble across The Bioshock Collection. Every “Let’s Play” channel worth its salt had the thing pre-ordered and shown off immediately. It was such a stark visual and atmospheric contrast to the series start that it brought up all sorts of attention. Online ads boasted the image of solemn-looking protagonist Booker DeWitt battered and bruised against the backdrop of a bright sunny day and a tattered, burning American flag. Videos sprung up analyzing every aspect of the trailer. YouTube ads for it came up time and time again.
It was hard not to be the very least intrigued.
