The narrative is messy at points, especially the vox populi but it was all too gorgeous for that to impact the game.
I've finished all 3 now and the one that stands the test of time is easily Bioshock 2. It has the best combat of all 3 and the remaster is rapture at its best, beating Infinites DLC and Bioshock 1. Best looking of the lot though is Infinite, I didn't enjoy the game much first time back in the day, and only finished it once but playing it again now, yeah, I actually love it, all 3 games are to me straight up classics and I can't think of another trilogy of games that comes close.
I can't tell if it was the improved resolution or smoother frame rate but having just finished it the only points that hurt it is the fight with Lady Comstock and the ending, some of the other parts had poor gunfight sections but overall it broke up the barrage of fighting with story snippets and lovely little things Elizabeth would do or say. My first recollection was that this was going to be a slog but it wasn't that bad at all. I'd reccomend a replay for all those people who hated it, I still say we should celebrate the game for what it was trying to do and I honestly never spent so much time just looking around in amazement at the scenery as I did with Infinite, I'll play all 3 again in 4K on Scorpio to see if they look even better again.
