I wasnโt that excited to play this one, especially after not enjoying the first BioShock. But I was told BioShock 2 was a big step up, so I went in with an open mind. Unfortunately, I still didnโt enjoy itโand in some ways, I found it worse.
The game throws you in with little explanation. Youโre expected to just know whatโs going on, and I didnโt care for all the constant, meaningless tape recordings. The story didnโt pull me in at all.
Controls are still clunky, just like the first game. Movement is slow, melee is sluggish, and shooting feels weak and unsatisfying. Every weapon feels like itโs firing blanks. Somehow enemies in the same suit as you are absolute bullet sponges, while you die in just a few hits. Itโs ridiculous.
Puzzles are basic and uninspired. Thereโs a lot of backtracking and constantly fighting the same few enemy types again and again. Upgrades barely felt like they did anything. Youโre just going through the motions.
The only thing I found remotely better than the first game was the change in scenery across sections instead of reusing the same locations repeatedly.
Now the performanceโit was genuinely awful. Constant stutters and crashes, even in the remastered version. And when it crashes, it reloads the entire chapter. I had to redo huge sections multiple times. The DLC has no saves or checkpoints, so when I crashed an hour into it, it restarted everything. I turned it off immediately after that.
By the end, I just wanted it to be over. It bored me. It frustrated me. I didnโt enjoy a single part of it. I simply donโt get the hype.
And now Iโm honestly questioning whether I should even bother with BioShock Infinite after how underwhelming both these games were.

Worse than BioShock 1โand I didnโt think that was possible.
