DLC Review: Buried At Sea Part 1

G'day there gals and guys!

Bioshock Infinite left so many gamers confused about reality with it's impossible to predict ending, attracting mass media attention with everything from the story to the excellent voice acting, even going to as far as saving the career of Courtnee Draper. With the expansion of the world with Buried At Sea, hardcore fans were overjoyed to say the least with the return to Rapture.
I won't reveal all of the storyline but I will give you the basics: Awakened by a nightmare, Booker Dewitt awakes in his office to a rapping at the door, only to find a Rapture stylised Elizabeth, asking for his aid to find a certain little girl who he is convinced is dead. Through the game it's up to the player to discover the fate of Sally and why is she so important to this mysterious woman. With old friends to visit, new areas to defeat and old enemies to destroy once more, this DLC is obviously made for the fans of the series.

What Buried At Sea offers overall is a massive overhaul of lore; fans have only seen the briefest of moments of a Rapture before it's destruction. Buried At Sea offers to see the city lit up completely, to watch it thrive and feel the life it had before the darkness of the sea. Exploring different areas for recordings, extra content, the best view of a bustling city. Of course the gameplay is in the style of Bioshock Infinite and playing outside the controls for Rapture is a little odd but quickly adaptable, especially with all the natural enemies of the area you will fight. Elemental areas also make a play, one of the larger points of the game being freezing a stream of water to make a bridge. 

There isn't a lot I can say without revealing the storyline. The gameplay is as fun as ever with a story that will definitely keep your jaw dropped. As the time of writing this review, Part 2's trailer was released and the story thickens even more. Unless you've finished the main story's campaign, I'd highly suggest finishing that before diving back into Andrew Ryan's dream of a free city.
