I think Infinite is a good game. But Bioshock 1 is better.

Also plasmids makes more sense in the world of Bioshock 1 than vigors do in Infinite. In Bioshock 1 plasmids are a part of the reason Rapture collapsed in Infinite it's more "hey, we need to implement this mechanic from the previous game into this game, somehow" and thus vigors have no point or real place in the world Columbia. Also I prefer the aestetcs of Rapture over Columbia.

OT: Yeah I actually never played Bioshock 2, but as stated above I liked both 1 and Infinite. Maybe I should give it a spin some time.

Both Bioshock 1 and Infinite are among my all time favourite games. The Plasmids did fit the narrative better in the first one, though for me this was balanced out by Elizabeth and Booker giving the latter's story more of a human touch.

If you liked the first Bioshock though, 2 is definitely worth a shot, I highly recommend it. Just don't expect the same level of mind-fuckery as the other two.

I actually don't care that much for stories in videogames (why is a whole different thread), so I'll just use a quote from John Carmack (somewhere around original Doom/Quake era) that I think is fitting: "Stories in video games are just like stories in porn movies, you expect them to be there but you really don't pay attention to it".

What makes it for me is atmosphere. For me 1 has a much better atmosphere than Infinite. Of course this is all very subjective.
