I plan on playing the remake of the 1st eventually too, I've just heard BioShock takes more after 2 specifically than 1, and that the games are fairly stand-alone so I won't be too lost just jumping in at the sequel.

They're more influenced by the storytelling than the gameplay, and I don't think you need to know much about the first game to get into two. However, the gameplay is more adjacent to something like the original Deus Ex or Thief where it's about as open as a linear game can be. You should be testing the moments you think "is the game gonna let me do that?" Because there's a good chance the game will let you.
