Just watched Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “Rope” and immediately wanted to get back into Bioshock. Finally checking out the dlc for Infinite and it’s pretty fantastic. infinite gameplay in Bioshock 1’s world, sign me up. Also this game is going to make my Switch explode, the fan is going so hard whenever I boot this up lmao.
The store page farts on about how this has "the best parts of bioshock and bioshock infinite": no it fucking doesn't. It's cool to revisit rapture (my beloved) but it's missing the atmosphere and claustrophobic level design that made the original location so enchanting. The combat tries to bring in the survival horror elements of bioshock but trying to hamfist those into Infinite's action heavy style just makes everything worse. Fighting a big daddy without all of the immersive sim elements just feels wrong; fighting anyone else is just annoying.
That plot twist is stupid as shit too.

Really don't know what they were thinking here. The story just starts to pick up, then immediately it is over? There really is nothing gameplay-wise to differentiate this from the original Bioshock Infinite game, which already sucked. Really disappointing, which is impressive, because the original is so disappointing already.
I kind of liked it, it felt like a self-contained little story with a kinda dumb but appropriate enough twist in the line with the usual Bioshock endings, elevated by not getting into the insanities Part 2 entertained itself with. The action felt fun enough, though less enjoyable than I had remembered Bioshock Infinite to be. I guess the biggest disappointment was that after remembering people talking about the Burial at Sea duology as a kind of DLC high-mark, they both left me kind of disappointed, especially the second one. Oh well, this one was alright for what it is, and not an inch better.
Review EN/PTBR
"Constants and variables"
A short and well-made dlc for those who love Rapture, giving a new perspective on Rapture lore following the ideas of the base game's ending and with a new gameplay vision to remember the good old Bioshock 1.

It was nice seeing rapture again and the twist at the very end was something to talk about but I don't know. I wanted to by hyped about this, but guess I wasn't really feeling it. The gameplay is the same as in base game, just instead of being in the sky, you're underwater. Story beats and character interactions were good I guess but I just feel like something was missing
I was swimming around my memories and I feel the return to Rapture in this DLC's is pretty good. Still a big fan of Elizabeth.
Continuing after that shocking ending of Bioshock Infinite, we get in the middle of the downfall of Rapture. Now in a fantastic detective noir type story, we try to find the disappearance of a little girl and why in the hell is booker under the sea.
