IT WAS!! So epic, the whole storyline of the Bioshock was huge thriller for me like one rollercoaster journey. I played the whole series for 2 weeks and completed the game in 4 days but that feeling was the best of my life. Honestly, I can't experience Elite: Frontier II (at least not immersively) but I can totally relate how you must have felt with that. Few of the remaining games keep their sequels amazing these days and of course rare are those which maintain that quality to be a cult in itself.
