Description

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 a combat experience that merges the best parts of BioShock and BioShock Infinite. It includes a new weapon, an old favorite weapon from the original BioShock as well as the return of the weapon wheel, a new Plasmid, new Gear and Tears. Explore the city when it was at the height of its beauty, meet some old “friends,” and make some new ones, all through the eyes of Booker DeWitt. Why are Booker and Elizabeth in Rapture? What was the city like before everything fell to pieces? The answers to these questions and more will be found in BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea – Episode 1.

**This pack is included in the BioShock Infinite Season Pass and will contain new Achievements.

Not enjoyable. A poor Rapture experience. Plot has issues, though is alright compared to the insult that is the following Episode. I can at least credit this for giving us a glimpse into Rapture before the civil war

Leaning into the noir of it all with Booker was a perfect way to jump us back into a completely new (yet familiar) take on Bioshock. Ken Levine and Irrational can't be beaten on level design and architecture, just

I like that we got to see more of Rapture, but I think Infinite could’ve done without. To me the whole idea of returning to Rapture feels unnecessary. Also, the weird changes, like how the gun inventory works, or that

This is the weakest DLC of the three, but is not by itself bad, just worse than the other two. The biggest flaw: it is really short and definitely not worth the standalone price. As part of the season pass, it is fine,

The story is fart-sniffing by the devs. Didn't we already kill all Comstocks/Bookers at the end of the main game? Why is he still alive? Why does he randomly die again from an enemy we already killed? If elizabeth

Ehhh. This just made me want to replay the original Bioshock instead. The DLC at least addresses the nothing difficulty of the base game by making things harder, though not in the best of ways, more in the "enemies hit
