10 Amazing Stories Trapped In Mediocre Video Games

2. Bioshock 2

When Bioshock first hit shelves, it more or less changed the entire game. Its direct sequel, Bioshock 2, on the other hand, was either panned or just straight up overlooked by the very fanbase that demanded its existence in the first place.

This is a real shame because - while it doesn't really change anything fundamental about the gameplay, the story of Bioshock 2 is pretty close in quality to that of the original. It's sure as hell better than Infinite's story if nothing else.

Bioshock 2's story centers around a Big Daddy instead of some poor dumb squishy human, named Delta, as he navigates the still operational Rapture to rescue his charge from the enigmatic Sofia Lamb. While the original Bioshock focused on the flaws of a society built on Randian Objectivism, this one does the same with a Rapture that is now run on the philosophy of collectivism. An interesting twist to the thematic current of the original that gives Bioshock 2 a much-needed edge.
