Ten years out from the original game, Rapture is under new management and she’s a mad goddess with a silken voice. Assuming the Remaster doesn’t crash like wild on you, that is. Honestly most of those changes are steps back, but the places where they aren’t are such dramatic steps forward it’s enough to save this one from fading away in the shadow of its precursor.

Despite the similar trappings the two games diverge wildly in level design, story, and combat, all defining features of the series.

Coming to it now in the Remastered edition is a bit of a surprise, namely in how it differs from its predecessor.

I enjoyed the original BioShock well enough, but not enough to spur me on to play the sequel when it was released.
