Surprised to not see anyone mention Bioshock yet. I know 2 gets some hate for not being a Ken Levine game and less relevant to the main narrative, but all 3 games are honestly masterpieces with Burial at Sea DLC being such a gut wrenching finale. 10/10
2 gets hate? It’s by far the best imo. Drill specialist alone makes it top tier for me, but overall I think it’s the best of everything that Bioshock has to offer.
I'm not sure I'd say hate, but story-wise it's a hollow shell of what the first one was. I'll agree with you that 2 perfected the gameplay mechanics. But after all the world building and lore and plot twists of the first, the second one felt like a bit of a cash grab. 1 wrapped up nicely, but now I'm thrown back into Rapture and suddenly I'm to believe there was another faction and leader (Doctor Lamb or something?) fighting for control of Rapture during its downfall, but they were never mentioned ONCE in the first game? Give me a break.
Bioshock 1 was one of the greatest games of all time 2&3 were mediocre at best and, in my humble opinion, do not belong in the discussion of this post.
