I downloaded this yesterday, and so far I'm really enjoying this final piece of content to come out of Irrational Games as we know it.

I'm about 50% through this 4-5 hour experience now and so far I'm really liking how they integrated stealth elements and tied together the stories of both Bioshock worlds. I'd highly recommend it to any Bioshock fan and think it's a big improvement upon Burial at Sea 1. Metacritic scores are coming in quite high as well:

Has anybody played this yet? What are your impressions?

I need to play the first BAS first. I think its on sale this week.
 
Burial at Sea Episode 1 is 50% off this week. I was thinking of getting both episodes, though you'll still save a buck between the two if you get the season pass, and also get Clash in the Clouds.
 
Loving it so far...I guess I am halfway through,I was dying a lot at first until I realised you really need to play this stealthly...the Tranquiliser Bow is awesome and so are some of the skills...Old Man winter is back from EP.1,which I also enjoyed but it was very short...this one is a lot bigger...pretty awesome.

Looks like I'll be back to last gen for a bit...
 
I honestly think it was trying too hard to blow your mind. It really didn't feel as well put together as the original.

Nevertheless, I liked the game. I only had one major complaint (and it's a spoiler)...

Daisy Fitzroy. This game does some MAJOR backpedaling on her character. Sometime during the game we are led to believe that she was convinced by the Lutece twins to PRETEND like she was going to kill the child so that Elizabeth would kill her. And by her doing that, it would help her...somehow.

Bull$hit. Fitzroy didn't know what was going on and she certainly wouldn't have just suddenly trusted the Lutece twins with her life. I see this as catering to the complainers that she and the Vox Populi should have been the "good guys". Angry Joe even did some rant about it. I just thought that was ridiculous backpedaling and shook my suspension of disbelief.
 
I finished Episode 2 and really enjoyed it. It should be a must have for any fan of the Bioshock series, the stealth elements are pretty awesome. At 4+ hours, it is definitely worth $15 or $20 with the season pass.

The story was pretty interesting, though it got kind of convoluted at the end.
 
I wonder if there's any hope of a complete edition including the DLC to come to X1/PS4 now that Irrational is no more?.

I wish. I'd probably get that. Already played the game, but haven't done any DLC.

Apparently chucked in because so many complained about the original moment.

I can't be the only one who feels this bridging of the series wasn't needed?
