Frustrating. It's a beautiful game for sure, and I'm certain in 2013 that would have been an even bigger understatement. That being said, beyond aesthetic improvements, it consistently missed every mark. The changes to weapons, combat, and upgrade systems felt several steps backward as Bioshock 2 essentially hammered out the weak points of the First game. 2 weapons at a time felt awful, and gear felt just as bad.

While Rapture -was- Bioshock 1 and 2, Columbia was just a bunch of forgettable samey setpieces that take a back seat to the story that I found myself wanting to check out from once I hit the 30% mark.

Disappointing.
