Past the shredded curtains the head of the Ryan statue has been blown off, fresh smoke still rising from its body. Smoke fills the now darkly lit room which now appears to be suffering from a leak. When Elizabeth regains consciousness, the room is in a sorry state. Rather than provide the answers he is looking for, his high dosage puts Elizabeth into a coma. Elizabeth is kept strapped to a chair the entire time, but through curtains a bright Rapture street can be seen where a large neon-labeled statue of Andrew Ryan stands tall against a large flowing waterfall.Īfter overhearing Atlas speak of the damage done to the Kashmir Restaurant, Elizabeth is questioned by Lonnie for the whereabouts of something called " The Ace in the Hole."

Until Episode 2 is release Burial at Sea Episode 1 is an incomplete experience yearning to be whole.09 October 2013 Burial at Sea - Episode 2 Main article: Burial at Sea - Episode 2Įlizabeth is brought here after Atlas and his men escape the now-risen Housewares building of Fontaine's. It’s a shame that Irrational Games attempts to condense everything into a small DLC package. Burial at Sea is an interesting what-if scenario that attempts to construct a reality centered on Elizabeth’s speech at the end of the original campaign. The ending of BioShock Infinite implied that an endless amount of universes exist, each containing a lighthouse and a man. You won’t see it coming but everything will make sense. The story isn’t ruined for relying on the same concepts and knowing what is to come didn’t diminish the effect it had. Burial at Sea Episode 1 ended with me wanting more, guaranteeing that I would purchase Part 2. Just like BioShock Infinite, I expected an inevitable twist and cliffhanger from the beginning. Unfortunately the vigor, called Old Man Winter, is simply the plasmid Winter Blast from the original BioShock with a new name. Called the Radar Range, this wonderful device uses microwave radiation to cause your enemies to explode, damaging anyone caught in the explosion. Irrational Games introduces a new vigor and weapon in Burial at Sea. Infinite’s weaponry of vigors and firearms are just as effective as anything from Rapture. Stapling the blade of your Sky-Hook into the head of a Splicer is still brutal and getting pulled by a Big Daddy’s grappling hook from a skyline reminded me how powerful these creatures are. While combat situations are similar to Infinite’s campaign the different enemy varieties add new excitement. I was completely aware of the dark secrets that were hidden within the walls of this failing dystopia.įamiliar sights and characters had me reminiscing about past BioShock titles, but the real appeal came when BioShock Infinite’s mechanics were introduced. While revisiting Rapture, with its graphical update is amazing, the sense of horror that was present when Jack traveled these same streets is gone. While Booker maintains his original persona, Elizabeth is now confident, older, and devoid of the innocence that she possessed in the original campaign. It’s New Year’s Eve in 1958, just before Andrew Ryan’s city falls into calamity, but before that happens, a new version of Elizabeth commissions the private detective in finding a little girl named Sally. You take control of Booker DeWitt in this alternate timeline. Burial at Sea Episode 1 uses fantastic sights and a nostalgic setting in order to bridge an incomplete story. Attempting to replicate the experience from the original story, with a time constraint of 1 to 2 hours, but it doesn’t work well. Burial at Sea Part 1 is Irrational Games first attempt at a story-driven DLC. With an incredible story and mind-blowing ending BioShock Infinite is easily a competitor for Game of the Year.
