BioShock 2
BioShock 2 saw players return to the depths of Rapture, albeit with a bit of a twist. The sequel actually takes place both 10 years before and eight years after the first game. Rather than simply wandering around in your fabric clothing with little to help protect you from the dangers that lurk around every corner, BioShock 2 threw you into a Big Daddy suit as Subject Delta- one of the very first Big Daddy test subjects who was abandoned by its creator. The sequel had players exploring Rapture as they learned the origins of the Subject Delta and fought off the crazed cult of psychopaths that Dr. Sofia Lamb created after the events of the first game.
Despite being provided with a much more powerful arsenal of weapons and a stronger suit, BioShock 2 did a great job of still making you feel vulnerable and made sure you were making good use of Subject Delta’s suit. While it may not have captured the same creepy undertones as its predecessor, BioShock 2 was a welcome return to Rapture for many fans. It brought a host of refinements and tweaks to the hacking mechanics and the way weapons and plasmids work over the first game, too.
