So I finished Burial at Sea Episode 2 today and I can see why it got a lot hate. It really comes across as fan fiction, and bad fiction at that. Right at the start there's that Rapture sex shop, which felt out of place and just an excuse to have 'funny' posters such as 'Big Daddy' and worse still, 'Sander Cohen's Gender Bender' or whatever the hell that was.
The retcon of Daisy Fitzroy's motivations was hilariously bad too. And all the retreading of Bioshock 1/Infinite events that no-one asked for.
I did enjoy a lot of the gameplay, it was interesting playing stealthy and the Peeping Tom upgrades were super useful.
Regarding the lobotomy and the ending. The lobotomy scene reeked of Levine trying to be as edgy as possible. It was still uncomfortable to sit through :'( And the ending was poor. There was no real pay off, why should we care that Liz helped push the events of Bioshock 1? It was a bad decision to link the plot so much to Bioshock 1. Just being in pre-fall Rapture for some of the DLC would have been enough.
