Public sentiment is that it’s bad and stupid? The game is hovering around a 90% positive rating on Steam. That’s 3% less than Bioshock and 3% more than Bioshock 2. Surely it can’t be that bad.

It isn’t. And please, don’t call me Shirley.

If you turn your brain off its beautiful, if you think about it for more than 5 seconds it falls apart. Works way better if it were a movie imo.

Meh, suspension of disbelief is how fiction works. Surely in a game where you can drink a magic potion to throw literal fireballs in a world of flying buildings and homicidal robots, some plot holes aren’t that big a deal.

What falls apart? I have plenty of gripes with the gameplay (the skyhook is underutilized and half the vigors are introduced way too late-game to leave an impression, most players have their combat strategy locked in by the time they get "Undertow") but the story and world building are near-perfect and bulletbulletproof IMO. I have literally never heard this criticism before
