I agree with you OP. I only played Bioshock for the first time a month ago and I also found the Medical Pavilion to be a bit confusing to start the game off with. Don't get me wrong here either, I really liked the level design. It was just a little overwhelming to be the first level. It distracted from the story and sense of atmosphere. I spent more time trying to figure out where I was and where I was going rather than paying attention to all the awesome detail. The design of the level is not as confusing as later levels but that's not the point. By then you're used to it and you can run through areas without much of a problem. The Medical Pavilion is a little daunting and could have been made just a little more linear to ease players into it.
Hmm, lower than I thought it would get judging by what I saw on GB's quick look. Looks like a pretty fun game. His criticisms seem pretty minor to be honest and not fitting of a $15 game.
But whatever, just one man's opinion. The game has a 71 on metacritic so that'll tell you something. I don't understand why people get so worked up in the comments sections of Gamespot reviews now. It's on every single review and is getting ridiculous.

Im not really worked up about it, it just kind of dissapoints me because GS reviews use to line up with my views on games but not really anymore :(
It's okay to be disappointed in the review. I don't think the score quite fits the review or the game from what I've seen either, but people in the comment sections go way overboard every time.

Well I began playing Bioshock (which I already had) as soon as the sale started so I haven't been able to play much of the few games I bought. I played Surgeon Simulator for a few hours and that was fun.
I booted up FTL for a little bit, I just wanted to see what it was like while I was paying attention to something else. I played the tutorial for about 10 minutes and went 'there is way too much happening in this game for me to remember right now!' That game seems kinda complex.
I'd like to play Max Payne 3 as soon as I'm done with Bioshock. But yeah I guess the only answer for your question is Surgeon Simulator.
Well I just started playing the first Bioshock last week and I'm enjoying it. I also played the first Mass Effect a couple of months ago and loved it. I don't think it matters much when talking about games that are only a few years old.
I'm still debating whether or not to get Max Payne 3 now or wait a while as it should show up on GMG eventually and probably for a few dollars cheaper.
Edit: However, who knows when that might happen and I really want to play the game ASAP. It's already pretty cheap, I think I'll get it now.
