    That's what I was wondering.😉

    The other DLC, The Protector Trials, can be safely ignored unless you just want more Bioshock 2 gameplay. It's basically just a set of "Protect the Little Sister" challenges that don't add anything to the story and are honestly pretty forgettable.

    Oh wow. Thanks for the heads up.

    I would play Minerva's Den first and then move on to Infinite, if that's what you're asking. I like Infinite quite a bit but I admit that it's a mixed bag. I think it has some of the grandest ambitions of the trilogy and I love many of the concepts that they play with in the game. The gameplay itself isn't bad but it isn't much to write home about either. Here's my nickel tour of the trilogy:

    Bioshock - Best atmosphere and most memorable plot twists; clunky and frustrating gameplay.
    Bioshock 2 - Best gameplay and most immersive story; setting and atmosphere feel a bit "been there, done that"
    Infinite - Most ambitious story and fascinating setting; muddled and slightly nonsensical plot and mediocre gameplay.

    Each game has its highs and lows. As a total package, Bioshock 2 is still the best, IMHO.

    I actually meant the other DLC haha. Played and beaten infinite twice, and will play again in the future. I've heard NOTHING about bioshock 2 as a game, but I enjoyed it. Couldn't put it down and that hasn't happened to me in years. And that includes playing hollow knight!

    By far my favorite game of the trilogy. The story overall is much more nuanced than the original and I think it is the better of the two, although it lacks the same level of dramatic "sting" as Bioshock. I think it demands more from the player to truly follow the implications but the reward for paying attention to those subtleties is greater.

    And if you haven't played the Minerva's Den DLC...do so. It's probably the best and most interesting stuff the series has to offer.

    I saw the DLC and got tempted. Should I play the other one first.... or at all?
