You control Booker DeWitt, and to wipe your debt you must find the lovely Elizabeth. It is in a baroque atmosphere and creepy as you progress, with the backdrop of the pervasiveness of religion in the person of Father Zachary Comstock, sort of prophet good-hiding nearby principles of apartheid and based on oppression and moral order. Totalitarianism Rapture was still more finely distilled. There, the strings are a little bigger, but the message is still rare in the video game, so who can complain?
The contrast is absolute: a Rapture emptied of its residents to a bustling Columbia. Besides, the decor is alive: being in a city in the clouds implies de facto movement around. Rendering is sumptuous. Add to that the giant statues, airships and beautiful brick houses, and we get a heaven on earth (well, in heaven I mean).
That said, compared to the old Bioshock, action overrides exploration (it's a fad, tell me?), Which may discourage some, but this bias seduced me .
A unique atmosphere that few games can achieve (apart perhaps Dishonored), a mature script, controlled narrative, a waking nightmare of a disturbing singularity and enchanting. To consume without moderation.
