A surprisingly short chapter that was over before it began. I do understand that this is only half of the story, but I was shocked that after a few short hours I had reached the end of Episode 1.
The return to Rapture is a bittersweet one. The mechanics and themes introduced in BioShock Infinite has left indelible marks on the franchise, and bringing these changes back to Rapture yields mixed results. The isolation and claustrophobia found in the first two entries is replaced with a crime noire in lofty locales to zip around in. I'm not convinced that our main characters have any reason to be at Rapture, but it's a good enough excuse to explore this unseen version of Rapture. And at the very least, the ending scene left me wanting for more.
