One of my favorites ended up being Insect Swarm, which can be upgraded to summon larger swarms of bees that can linger on the battlefield within corpses so future enemies will be stunned and stung by the hive. Now, for example, Electro Bolt can be upgraded to perform chain lightning attacks, Inferno can eventually form a continuous stream of fire or even be charged and released as a bomb and Winter Blast can freeze enemies in a solid block of ice that can be shattered for splash freezing and still award items. Plasmids are now improved, with upgrades that do more than just provide a stat boost. On the side of gameplay though, this is where the game shows some significant improvements from its predecessor. Basically, the part I was genuinely drawn into about this tale was the father-daughter connection, which I ended up getting caught in the most. Fortunately these choices do in the end determine how certain things will play out, mainly the ending, but that doesn't really make up for their near lack of completeness. There are other characters that are introduced that have some influence over Rapture in the present as well as Delta in the past, but these characters end up not being quite as interesting and in the end serve to set up a morality choice for the player to make. She doesn't even become an end boss of sorts, instead having a mostly off-screen presence and only really makes any physical connection with Delta and Eleanor in the last hour or so of the game. Learning how much of a hand Sofia Lamb had in the events actually becomes rather intriguing, but in the end we don't get to see very much of her. The silent Subject Delta isn't always interesting or completely fleshed out, but his connection with his daughter offers a new perspective and eventually the player may feel like protecting her as well. He is contacted by his daughter and sets out to rescue her from the clutches of Sofia Lamb while exploring what remains of Rapture and learning about the underlying conspiracy that has influenced both his own life and the city's eventual downfall.įrom a story perspective, BioShock 2 manages to execute it rather well.
Ten years later however, in 1968 (8 years after the events of BioShock), Delta wakes up face-down in a pool of water. While Delta is under hypnosis, she orders him to take a handgun and shoot himself in the head he does so. However, another man uses a Plasmid to hypnotize him, which is when Sofia Lamb appears on the scene. He sees a group of Splicers around her and kills them all to protect her. The game begins in 1958, where a Big Daddy named Subject Delta is pursuing his daughter, Eleanor. The early Sea of Dreams teaser image, for curious readers. Since I'm building up to BioShock Infinite, I ended up playing it once more and have found myself enjoying it, but with a view more mixed than three years prior.
Regardless, I played BioShock 2 upon release and even posted a review of it on my DeviantArt account, which will now represent my opinion at the time. The game received positive scores, and even eventually made it into a book called 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die, though both fan and critical reception ended up being a little mixed. During development of this expected sequel, the subtitle was dropped and multiple developers had a hand in eventually releasing it in 2010. Those who reached the end of BioShock were able to see a teaser for a sequel, which seemed to have been named BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams.

It was able to build a unique world and explore deconstructions of concepts including free will in a video game (which some observant gamers may recognize as one deconstruction present in the earlier Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty). 2007 saw the release of BioShock, a First-Person Shooter that seemed to revolutionize the genre in terms of both gameplay and storytelling.
