    One of the best games I've ever played, great music, great characters and a SENSATIONAL story. just loved every moment with Elizabeth, the plot along the beautiful art style, the amazing criticism over religion, racism, xenophobia... It´s just something else.

    i played infinite before playing the other 2 BioShock games, and i will say, completing this makes me want to give them another try. Columbia is a beautiful setting filled with personality, the story confused the hell out of me but the characters were more than charming enough to keep me wanting more, and the end was immensely satisfying (no spoilers. the gameplay format is the only slighti played infinite before playing the other 2 BioShock games, and i will say, completing this makes me want to give them another try.

    What a game.

    Defiantly a good game, however comparing it to bioshock standards it defiantly falls flat. Trying to juggle themes of racism and showing how black people were historically mistreated mixes porky with the inter dimensional travel story. The enemies are not as unike as before. Plasmids are not as usfull. You can only carry a two weapons at a time wich gets tedious. But I still recommend theDefiantly a good game, however comparing it to bioshock standards it defiantly falls flat.

    Great game but the plot is kinda overrated. When you start with the multiple realities stuff it's usually.. well for me atleast it speaks of lazy writing. I still enjoyed it, not as much as I did enjoy playing the first two.. even Bio 2 had better atmosphere in my opinion. And atmosphere is the biggesy thing that keeps me hooked.

    Play this game it's a must!

    While it's not as genre-changing as the original Bioshock, this game still delivers a unique narrative on a unique setting that I'm happy it's part of the franchise. The gameplay is fresh enough and the new powers are really fun to use. It's insane how what seems to be an escort mission isn't as tedious as they usually are. Play it.

    Great game, it subverts expectations like no other. Looking forward to playing it again just to see what I think of the story now.

The action is significantly better than the original Bioshock, but once again I felt like the biggest motivation for playing this game was to further explore the city and uncover the next plot point in the amazing story. And just as it was with the first Bioshock, the climax and finale are exceptional. As for the optional DLC, the first Burial at Sea episode is good and the second is excellent. Expand

    An amazing story for 8 hours, which did not let you relax until the very end, the ending was a shock for me.

    A genuinely great, and oddly influential, shooter. My biggest gripe is more how this is basically a solid sci-fi shooter instead of an immersive sim. Still very great and well-done, might have been crushed due to the weight of ambition during development. Absolutely worth playing however!

You walk around in a city where the ghost of that time is perfectly shown. It plays in an alternate time line and has the same system, like various guns paired with supernatural powers which you can swap out on the fly. You also find different types of clothing that grants bonuses, like a bigger mag or faster move speed. Various automated vendors sell upgrades for the many weapons and abilities you pay with the money you collect, or you buy ammo or restore your health.
    The story is mysterious and the end is a real surprise.
    The difficulty is not high, even on higher settings and your companion takes on a supportive role by delivering ammo and health if needed. If you want a challenge play the 1999 version that unlocks after one playthrough. It is also a good idea to explore the place because of riddles and goodies to find.

    I liked the game at the beginning but the more the story advanced the more i was confused and the game-play became messy. I had huge expectations for this game and was kinda disappointed when i played it, 5 years after it's release.

    The best supporting character I have played is in this game.
    The atmosphere sometimes changes. The quality does not decrease. The atmosphere of the game was very good. You should definitely play this game.

    Amazing story and fantastic character writing make this game truly special. The world building and overall atmosphere is amazing. Sadly the game-play is a tiny bit generic

    Я типа нифига не удивлён что именно после этой с позволения сказать игры франшиза загнулась нахрен и лучше бы ей уже не оживать кто сейм ?

    Сначала я был просто поражён, какая в этой игре красивая графика и крутая атмосфера, а потом, когда дали пушку, это всё выветрилось, и игра превратилась в обычный шутан.

I believe the characters are necessary and well thought-out but not anything that stuck with me personally as time went on. The combat is similar to all the other Bioshock titles, but the new cast of enemies has done a lot to shake up the formula in my eyes.
    In many ways, I preferred this game to the originals, but can also see how it did not live up the expectations of fans upon its initial release, I hold no real loyalty to the Bioshock series as I didn't play it when it initially released, so all I can say is from an outsider's perspective this is as refined and perfected that Bioshock can get. Definitely worth your time.

    This game is a flawed masterpiece that I love as much as I am disappointed by it. The world and main characters are all excellent. The story is also extremely intriguing and very well constructed. However there are noticeable downgrades from the previous games. Some characters are also misused and not developed enough.

    Play BSI slowly, relish the moments and don’t rush to the end. It’s certain that you will have lived one of the richest gaming experiences that, as far as narration, lyricism and story are concerned, will take a lot of time to forget! [May 2013]

    A very solid, but not revolutionary shooter in an amazing setting, with a story that struggles to convey its authors’ ambitions and is only seemingly complex. The vision is less focused than in previous Bioshocks and it does a worse job on binding the plot with gameplay. [CD-Action 05/2013, p.46]

    Problematic plotting and excessive amounts of poorly balanced combat apply friction to what is otherwise one hell of a rollercoaster. [May 2013, p.80]
