Throughout this defining series, we heard and learned hidden meanings behind 'Would you kindly?' and 'Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt.' We used the otherworldly Plasmids and Vigors, and fought those it took over. Then came 2013's Bioshock: Infinite, a game that had players questioning identity and the deep meaning behind simple words more than the original had. The first Bioshock was undeniably a masterpiece, and the first sequel wasn't half bad either. At the time, there had been very few games that matched that level of player immersion or made players question their own agency and influence on the events. Yet it was a masterpiece for gamers everywhere. Genetic splicing, murdering, criminals abound.
