Even if it may not feel as new, it’s still eerie and gorgeous and everything that made the first one such a visual feast. As someone who loves Art Deco, I’m never going to say no to the opportunity to see more of Rapture, which is exactly what Bioshock 2 offers. Sure, there are differences here and there - you get to play as a Big Daddy this time around, instead of just fighting them you occasionally get to go out into the ocean you can jump - but on the whole, this is more a refinement of the formula the first game pioneered, rather than something totally different. The thing is, it doesn’t really do anything that wasn’t already done by the first Bioshock. I honestly can’t think of anything about it that I dislike. It’s visually stunning, it’s got an engaging story with outstanding characters, and the combat is top-notch. I mean, in a vacuum, it’d be one of the most amazing games I’ve ever played. Playing Bioshock 2 Remastered on the Switch is literally the first time I’ve ever played the game on any platform, ever. In fact, if my knowledge of the first game was minimal, my exposure to Bioshock 2 was non-existent. As I wrote when reviewing the remastered version of Bioshock that came out on the Switch earlier this summer, the first two games in the series have long been one of my gaming blindspots.
