The reset that pulled the series back to survival horror: first-person, confined to a single decaying Louisiana estate, with scarce ammo and a family that hunts you through it. The Baker house section is among the best horror the series has produced. After you leave it the game becomes far more scripted and linear, and the boss design is the weakest part of the package.

Columbia is the achievement — one of the most striking settings of its generation, with skyline traversal that gives fights genuine verticality. Elizabeth is well handled as a companion. Combat is narrower than the first BioShock: two weapons at a time, fewer environmental options, and the plasmid experimentation is largely gone.
