(mini-review).

I completed the original GFW disc version. The remaster is the same game, with slightly improved graphics. While not as lovingly crafted as the predecessor, the game still holds up reasonably well, although it is more unstable and crashed for me a few times. The game exploits the amazing setting, atmosphere and IP of the original and only gives us a few interesting components: playing as Delta, the Big Sisters and a new big bad - Lamb.

Unfortunately, the game lacks the clever plot, inspired map design and pacing of the original. The endings, although varied are comparatively unsatisfying and the game is ultimately just an elaborate DLC for Bioshock 1. While the game is worthy of purchase, it should be procured on Steam sale, if possible. 2K Marin simply didn't have Ken Levine's talent in adding to the Bioshock tapestry.

Good not great.

Recommended.

8/10.
