- Episode two makes great use of a wonderful location and manages to cleverly utilise core gameplay to enhance the experience as a whole. It feels like a cohesive package, more so than past Bioshock Infinite instalments, and is hugely enjoyable. Encounters are meaningful, the story is well told and the act of exploration has been greatly improved. It’s a game that recognises its strengths and manages to capitalise on them. With a smaller canvas Irrational have been able to express themselves far better, which makes their loss sad but makes Ken Levine’s new focus on smaller titles oh so enticing.
Stephen Gillespie · Apr 18, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - It's a testament to the talent involved in both instances that the iterations following it are as enjoyable as they are
Nick Cowen · Apr 04, 2014 Reviewed on PS3 - A slightly uneven but still arresting journey back to BioShock’s past, future, and present that makes a worthy protagonist out of Elizabeth....
Francesca Reyes · Apr 01, 2014 Reviewed on X360 - Burial at Sea: Episode Two is a great slice of DLC and a fitting end to the BioShock: Infinite universe.
Michael Harradence · Mar 29, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - It closes the book for Rapture, Columbia, Booker and Elizabeth. After completing both episodes and learning more about the story, I’m inspired to go back through all of the main games now that I’ve seen their stories from a new perspective. I don’t know what the next Bioshock game will be, but it better not be Infinite 2 because it seems insulting to mess with something that already ended so perfectly.
Lucas Raycevick · Mar 28, 2014 Reviewed on X360Read full review - But as the swansong of Irrational Games, Burial at Sea 2 seems to have been more interested in looking clever and tying the BioShock story into a closed loop than it was in expanding on Infinite’s heady ideas.
Phil Hornshaw · Mar 28, 2014 Reviewed on PC - What Burial at Sea, Episode Two does is wrap everything up for the entire narrative that spans from BioShock to BioShock Infinite and places a maudlin little bow on the whole thing.
John Llewellyn Martin · Mar 28, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Burial at Sea is fun, looks lovely and makes a valiant attempt to tie together the fiction of Irrational's BioShock games. Some of these ties are elegant enough to not seem like the retcon they of course are. But the game has to go through so many narrative contortions to do so, it's hard to escape the sense that the whole thing feels more like well-made fan fiction than the final piece of one of gaming's most beloved canons.
Justin McElroy · Mar 27, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - Some strained metaphors and connections aside, the cities of Rapture and Columbia make for strange but comfortable bedfellows in BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode 2. More importantly, Elizabeth's journey is tense and rewarding on its own terms, and is one that makes Rapture as mysterious as it was the first time you ventured inside.
Kevin VanOrd · Mar 26, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - As for Episode 2 itself, it’s a phenomenal entry in the BioShock saga, and should be downloaded by anyone who has the original game. It might be a little frustrating to anyone who was used to running and gunning their way through Columbia, but once you get used to the stealth gameplay you’ll find that this may be the most well designed chapter of BioShock yet.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Come back to Rapture in a story that brings Booker and Elizabeth to the underwater city on the eve of its fall from grace. Developed by Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock and BioShock Infinite, this DLC features Rapture as you’ve never seen it before—a shining jewel at the bottom of the ocean, built almost entirely from scratch in the BioShock Infinite engine. The combat experience has been rebalanced and reworked with a greater emphasis on stealth and resource management to give the player an original BioShock combat experience that merges the best parts of BioShock and BioShock Infinite.
Developer: Irrational Games
