Is it still worth playing?

2K Marin's 2010 first person shooter, set in the underwater city of Rapture eight years after BioShock. You play the silent, armored Subject Delta and fight Splicers, the city's psychotic population. Combat uses two hands at once, a weapon in one and a plasmid in the other. Those plasmids are genetic modifications that grant powers such as telekinesis, recharged with EVE, and tonics add passive bonuses, from extra speed to lower EVE use. Several weapons are unique to the Big Daddy, including a drill and a rivet gun, and environmental hazards can be turned on enemies. Between fights you scavenge ammunition and supplies, buy items at vending machines, and hack security with a short timing puzzle that stops a needle on a colored gauge. Death sends you back to a Vita-Chamber. A weapon and a power held at once still make each encounter a mix of shooting and plasmids today.
