    Bioshock infinite is an great game, but it unfortunately doesn't quite match the original. Ludo-narrative dissonance is very evident in this game ruining the immersion. Each area is just a shooting gallery of copy-pasted baddies that u must slaughter in order to progress. The world of Columbia itself combined with the great and mind bending story is the saving grace of the game.

    This game is beautiful. The world seems complete and fully rendered. Really you feel as if you are traveling through a complete world. You aren't told "look they are racist."

In the end though fighting wave after wave of generic enemies to advance the plot becomes kind of a chore.
    And their last act twist (which I won't spoil). It fits well. But not perfect. (which is why I give it this score) There could have been more/better forshadowing throughout. Really the problem is by seeing the world Comestock lives in and through his actions, you feel you know him. But the narrator is too much a blank slate.    … Expand

    For this review, I rounded up from my 7.5 score. Bioshock Infinite is a fun game and experience, but it is not without its flaws, being substantially overrated and over-hyped.

Bioshock Infinite is a fun game and experience, but it is not without its flaws, being substantially overrated and over-hyped. The shooting mechanics are fun, as well as the items you use to incapacitate enemies. There are better shooters out there, but to be completely fair most of them are lacking in any real story or plot, and the focus of the developers was pure gameplay mechanics. The AI of Elizabeth is groundbreaking and really helps me to feel a connection with the person I'm escorting, but it's still not perfect and I will occasionally find immersion broken by her running in front of enemies that should be able to see her.

    The pacing of the game is where the score takes a hit. The first few hours, albeit slow, flow smoothly and draw me into this new world. My inner adventurer is extremely pleased by it. The next 80% of the game is combat, combat, combat. It's unbelievable how many soldiers you have to fight against when the combat starts. This is an isolated city in the sky, it shouldn't feel like a spawn camp for infinite soldiers. Too many games these days will pad out areas with unnecessary combat against hordes of enemies you would never realistically encounter.

    I also have my issues with the ending of the game and plot holes, but seeing as that is personal preference, I will leave them out of this review.    … Expand

The environments were great, of course, but the actual weapons felt... weak and enemies became too bullet-spongy later on in the game. Elizabeth though is a pretty interesting addition, as she runs around looking for stuff you're running low on in the middle of combat which saved my ass plenty of times. Though interesting she's almost the only actual face-to-face interaction you get beyond a few non-combat areas. And the vigors were... well they were actually pretty decent but mostly ripped from the previous Bioshock. It was more so the gun-play which was really disappointing. Things like only being able to carry two weapons pretty much forces you to carry a gun and a heavy weapon. At the end of the game ammo is very scarce and there are no vendors you can get ammo from at all. And really, it just felt terrible at points, I found myself wanting to just get combat over with just to get back to the amazing story.

    I'd say its definitely worth a buy, as this is easily among the best stories ever told in a game. However in itself, not a good game.

    In short: Linear. Fun. Beautiful. Not as great as I thought and people said, but still good enough to play.

    The original Bioshock was a plot that I never could have predicted and was so shocking and mind-blowing that I instantly loved the game even more than I already had up to that point. This latest installment? I called the twist ending about a little over halfway through the game.    In short: Linear. Fun. Beautiful.

    The original Bioshock was a plot that I never could have predicted and was so shocking and mind-blowing that I instantly loved the game even more than I already had up to that point.
    This latest installment? I called the twist ending about a little over halfway through the game. While I didn't predict everything that happened in the end, the major twists were obvious to me already and it was admittedly satisfying to be right about it. But perhaps that's because after playing and enjoying Bioshock 1 & 2, I know how the writers think already.

    It is a linear story and really there's two moments in the game where you're actually forced to choose one option or another, and they are light decisions too. You can bypass certain side areas and continue on the main storyline full speed so I guess there's an element of player choice in that, but obviously that's not recommended. (unless you're doing a speed run)

    Anyway, I played the game on Hard difficulty and it was pretty challenging at certain parts those Handymen are tough bastards! I had to be revived a lot on most of the boss scenes. For most of it though it wasn't too bad, even on Hard difficulty. Combat was fun, hectic, and exciting.

    Vigors which are Columbia's version of plasmids are interesting and combos were pretty fun, although I didn't much understand the last one that you get (Return to Sender) and I had to actually look it up. I barely used that one. Haha

    Character development is pretty good, and particularly with Elizabeth. They did a wonderful job of making her act more life-like. If you pause in certain areas long enough she goes around on her own and looks at stuff, pointing out things that you might have missed. She also interacts with the environment on her own if you give her some time to. For instance, sitting down on benches, leaning against walls, and particularly the beach scene is where you see the most of this free-form acting. The expressions she gives and her body language also reflect her mood, which of course is affected by the situation. Voice acting is of course superb for all characters.

    Graphically, the game is good, but not as great as it could have and arguably should have been. Textures in particular could have been so much better. But the lighting and particles are well done. the atmosphere they've created is definitely fantastic and, coupled with the music and the actual gameplay, this installment of Bioshock is memorable.

    Anyway, I do like it and would recommend this to people. It is a lot of fun to explore a whole different world from Rapture. The floating buildings and open spaces, the sky, the clouds, the sunlight, the society... it was a glorious sight to see and to be in the floating city of Columbia.    … Expand

    This game blew me away flawless story, gorgeous direction, addictive game play as near perfect a FPS as possible. The pace is just right eases you into the world lets you absorb the environment, play with the controls, then jumps you head first into the action/story. Highly recommend even if you haven't played the first two Bioshocks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bioshock infinite was a great disappointment to me. I remember watching the initial reveal for the game and being absolutely blown away by the original demo, but when I came to play the final product, I just couldn't help but think that the game was poorly thought out.

    Firstly, the gameplay reflected the original Bioshock in the worst way possible. The original's setting worked really well with the gameplay because it was very claustrophobic, dark and hostile. Colombia is bright, colourful, open and has a pinteresque menace behind its racial connotations and extremist worship of the American constitution. Yet there was only ever one instance where I needed a sniper rifle, everything else was just shooting bullet sponges with guns that I had barely any ammo for because for some stupid reason irrational decided it would take a realistic stance on carrying only two weapons, which is absurd as you are sometimes caught in situations where you have no ammo for the specific weapons that you need for the scenario, I'm certain there was a gun that I only used the grand total of once throughout the entire story. I'd have rather they kept the ability to carry as many guns as you liked and increased the gun play so that it encouraged you to apply a more diverse array of strategies over 'Shoot that man'

    The Vigors were also complete nonsense, I got that part of the story was that the Lutece twins were able to travel to alternate dimensions so they could take back technology to use in Colombia, thus hinting they went to Rapture and copied the idea of the plasmids. But in colombia vigors were completely irrelevant to the setting, nobody used them save for a couple of types of enemy. In Rapture, the plasmids were the whole reason for why the city descended into chaos, as people were using them more and more to wage a bloody civil war to the point that overdosage turned them insane. Aside from the fact they were horribly shoehorned in because 'That's what makes Bioshock Bioshock'; they were pretty bad, a lot of guys I know who loved Infinite admitted that they only used one throughout the entire game. A lot of them were simply 'stun enemies'. They felt weak and lacked the same versatility that the ones in Rapture had (ie using electricity on enemies in water would usually kill them).

    I appreciate that I have been pretty harsh on this game, and I also know that the game really was trying to stand itself up on it's story. But the truth is, I found the story as mediocre as the gameplay. I understand the conclusion and the twist, but I felt it was poorly dictated. The ideas in the story have been done before, notably the concepts of the butterfly effect (One action in time, no matter how insignificant it may seem, kickstarts a further chain of events that vary in significance.) And the big point here centered around the baptism. The problem is that the story seems to identify that killing Booker in the baptism will save every Anna from being kidnapped from Comstock. What if Booker and Elizabeth killed the pastor at the baptism? What if Comstock was actually able to have a child? What if Booker decided that he'd make Colombia anyway even though he had decided to not get baptised? And then Levine creates these pretty little images of millions of lighthouses and multiple Elizabeth's drowning in some weak attempt to make you think that it had some sort of complexity to it, and yet it gains heaps of praise, but I wonder if this is simply because all these so called 'professional reviewers' were too busy looking at the pretty images Irrational put there.

    The characters were also, I'm afraid disappointing. I thought it was interesting that they gave Booker a voice and allowed him to interact with Elizabeth, but the truth of it is that he is in a FPS game, and is thus brutally blowing people's heads off with shotguns and murdering policemen in almost inhumane ways. I have nothing against Troy Baker, but his character is completely unlikeable even more so because of his deadpan attitude to the whole absurdity of this bloodshed. Elizabeth is also the definition of what we call a 'Disney Princess' she somehow is a very bubbly and likable character despite having been locked up for twenty years in a large statue with a gigantic mechanical bird as her only companion. I know we're supposed to like Elizabeth and making her cold and introverted, but I'd have rather she fitted her character as opposed to having been the product of Ken Levin watching Disney's Tangled.

    In conclusion, this game is mediocre and I was greatly disappointed by it. I liked the sound direction and I love the setting of Colombia, even more so than Rapture, but it was lackluster and felt like the unrefined product of a game that could have been truly amazing. I appreciate it if you read this review, and I know it isn't one that you might like if you loved Bioshock Infinite, but appreciate that I wanted the game to be great too, and I was let down severely.    … Expand

    Is this game as good as what people say it is? Yes of course. The game oozes both theme, style and beauty paired with a suspenseful story with a juicy ending. Gameplay is fun, though not everyone's cup of tea, it is still versatile and fun. Though the story does lack a rather slow sluggish start, when it picks up pace, you will fall in love with this game.

    Bioshock Infinite is not a fun game.

    Imagine that you are in a room, a relatively small one, with the standard ceiling, floor, and four walls. The floor is hardwood and the ceiling is painted sky blue with clouds. The walls, however, are painted with people and shops, and trees all in lush detail. And just like the wall of a room, you can't interact with any of it, just look at it.    Bioshock Infinite is not a fun game.

    Imagine that you are in a room, a relatively small one, with the standard ceiling, floor, and four walls. The floor is hardwood and the ceiling is painted sky blue with clouds. The walls, however, are painted with people and shops, and trees all in lush detail. And just like the wall of a room, you can't interact with any of it, just look at it. Sure, you can listen in on the same repetitive conversation from a group of occasional bystanders, you can even "interact" with the occasional garbage can, which may or may not give you something useful, although it is generally food or salt, of which you already have plenty of. It is simply a pretty picture that gets old very very quickly.

    Once combat begins, it too becomes old very quickly. You wind up fighting the same enemies with identical AI over and over again. The uniforms may change and they may gain a few hit points, but it is all the same. The clothing and vigor choices that are meant to add depth and variety are entirely impractical and clunky. Cycling between vigors is cumbersome especially when you are being shot at by enemies that have unlimited ammo, whereas you are stuck with only a couple of weapon choices and extremely limited ammo.

    This, of course, is the games way of compelling you to use everything in the game to succeed. You are supposed to use the sky-hook, and vigors, and Elizabeth's "tears" in order to accomplish your objective. Not only is the action too fast and the enemy too plentiful for all of these things to be practical to do at the same time, it also takes any type of choice in strategy away from the player. You can't sneak, you can't snipe, not in any realistic sense, before you get swarmed by enemies who either kamikaze your position, or cower behind cover. Some of the rare tougher enemies are fun, such as the George Washington's with the mini guns, but those can get old after a while as well.

    Overall, the clunky battle mechanics, lack of real weapon variety and limited ammo, near useless vigors and time tears, novel but otherwise useless sky-hook, repetitive fight sequences, and virtually no ability to interact with the environment you are in, makes this game feel like you are just inside a pretty picture. Everything else feels like an afterthought.

    I don't want to spoil anything but this game is that awesome that everybody should play it. There are nothing negative about this game that i can think of. Just go ahead buy the game and play it. Support developers because these type of games are coming out really rarely.

    This is the best shooter I've ever played. Every scene, and part of it was absolutely thrilling and haunting! I was expecting something from the level of the first Bioshock. But this one is better, more emotional, more brutal and much better acted!! AMAZING!

    I changed my mind about previously fgiving this game a 0. it is actually a 10/10 game. I can't believe how good this game was after i got baptised. i didn't realize 99% of the game was after the baptization and i didn't really wanted to go through with it at first because of my religion but i got my friend to do it and now i'm playing it and it's really good.

    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]
