This game sucked

Had to say it. Went in expecting a spiritual sequel to the Bioshock games, left with a 6 hour UE4 walking simulator that only appeals to a select audience appreciating anything steampunk or art deco thrown at them. Fans of Jules Verne, the Nautilus, Tesla coils, the Titanic, physics geeks, I get it. But so much content ended up on the cutting room floor, i was expecting the game to allow you to manipulate time, seal rifts, clean up Exo leaks, save people, solve more complex puzzles than turning valves and punching in three digit codes, have a chat with Tesla, but none of it happens. The whole game feels like you walking into an afterparty after everyone has left, tiptoeing around the glass shards on the floor and the passed out drunk people and then awkwardly exiting the building because there was nothing left to do.

What this game needs is a prequel. The Edison spies story sounds nice. Maybe you play as a detective and have to conduct interviews to figure out whose story doesnt add up and who is the Edison spy, ending with a chase sequence where you are the guy chasing the person trying to get away. How Ada's friend Loretta sabotaged the experiment needs to be shown. Maybe even a trip to the alternate dimension á Half Life's Xen style. Rose carrying the body and placing it at the tree. We never got to do any of these things.

The game is advertised as a walking simulator, not a puzzle fest.
