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.

Fair enough, to each their own. I think both have a great atmosphere in their own way, the first in its ominous mystery and horror, Infinite in its vibrant steampunk exterior that serves as a mask for the city's rotten heart.
