The unforgettable introduction (along with other moments) to Rapture is so captivatingly enticing in the way it submerges you into its world. The twisting narrative, fine-detailed setting, atmospheric storytelling and portrayal of philosophical themes are all well-crafted. FPS / RPG elements are mixed in well enough, weapons with plasmids are satisfying to use along with the environment to overcome foes and obstacles. Unfortunately there’s a significant momentum drop during the final segments and a very underwhelming ending, but everything up until the big reveal and of course Fort Frolic is wonderful. Not a huge fan of the silly research camera and story-explaining audio logs.
