    This game is AMAZING! You are Booker DeWitt and your job is to get the girl to remove the debt. Right away when you enter the city of Columbia you are captured by the great city.

As you venture further you see the racist and diverse side of Columbia and you notice a corrupt man by the name of comstock. When you get Elizabeth she is no princess but someone with smarts that will help you through the game. She picks lock finds and gives u health ammo and salts during battle so you can like longer. She also finds money you may have missed. The vigors give you the ability to do special things like real in your opponents or burn them. You can only hold 2 weapons at once besides the melee which sucks but really the only bad thing about this game. Also Elizabeth can open things called tears which she can open so you can have a wall, turret, platform just to name a few. The final thing is THE SKYLINE!
    The skyline is soooooooooo much fun. You can use it to transport place to place. shoot from above. Escape near death and most importantly do the sexiest attack ever! You insta-kill the opponent and it looks sooo cool. Overall this game is a 10 out of 10 and 100% a must buy!    … Expand

    This deserves the best game of 2013. The atmosphere draws you in with its characters and setting. You want to hate the main villain. You want to guard Elizabeth from danger. The ending will leave you speechless and probably but confused but play through it again to figure out what's happening. Buy this game.

    One of the best shooters I've played in a while. Although it has plot holes, everything else is superbly designed and realized. But i think I do prefer the dampness of the original game's atmosphere. But it's a nice change up.

    After having played through its single player twice, I can't understand the amounts of high praise Bioshock Infinite gets for its storytelling and characters.

Bioshock Infinite first and foremost treats the player as if they have no intelligence whatsoever - player agency is frequently taken away in the single player when the first person nature of the game would have made for interesting interactive moments outside of the moment-to-moment combat, which itself is fairly mediocre, but I'll get to that shortly.

    Bioshock Infinite presents a world in a similarly secluded location of the planet a la Bioshock, but without the logic of Rapture's ideal existence below the sea. It gives us a look into the extremes of nationalism but in the most politically correct way possible, muffling its own impact. As Booker DeWitt we're tasked with finding and escorting Elizabeth, a young woman of some importance with the ability to cross between parallel worlds. Despite being a shut in and the subject of experimentation she's socially apt and mentally equipped to deal with anything, which I found a bit strange. Bioshock Infinite presents itself in a way that begs you dearly to take it seriously for its mature themes, but it doesn't have any of the grit to back it up, save for the graphic violence which just becomes numbing after a short time. The ending in particular highlights many holes in the game's own plot and seems inconsequential given the game's highlighting of infinite worlds with infinite possibilities - the infamous "constants and variables" twist is truly a cop-out for the ages.

    From a gameplay perspective, Bioshock Infinite makes a few additions from its predecessors in Rapture, in particular the skyhook mechanic, which can actually be abused to provide the player with essentially infinite shielding if a certain piece of gear is equipped. While skyhook combat is otherwise fun, the standard moment-to-moment gunfighting is second-rate at best. The game only allows Booker to carry two weapons at a time, which seems unfitting considering Bioshock allowed a great deal of preparation on the player's part as they could select their ammunition type, prime traps, or hack sentry devices in the environment in anticipation of engagements. Hacking is also simplified into a vigor, the stand-in for plasmids. It's temporary, and sentries can't be damaged while under the influence of the vigor. The ability to modify weapons is back, but is also hurt by the weapon carry limit as ammo for your preferred weapons can become scarce forcing you to use un-upgraded weapons scavenged from the battlefield which might perform quite poorly in comparison, even if the game has just introduced them to you. One particular boss fight in the game demonstrates the severely flawed design of the shooter mechanics in Infinite, as its large health pool and infinitely respawning minions can cause player "death", which keeps the game moving but sets you back in ammunition and cash, while the boss sees its health entirely replenished, opening the door to a situation in which players can be completely cornered without a bullet to plink off of the boss' armor.

    While Bioshock did have some overlapping abilities, Infinite has the same issue with less abilities at the player's disposal. You'll find a variety of stun-type vigors, the aforementioned possession, a shield, and a charge. Typically the gameplay boils down to spotting sentries and possessing them, using Elizabeth, who is completely invulnerable and in absolutely no danger of capture/death at any moment, to provide you with context sensitive abilities while you commit to a stun>shoot pattern. Any creativity has been sapped from engagements, as level designs are linearized, interactivity with the world is reduced, and weapon variety is cut to a short list of generic designs with their complementary counterparts from a different faction.

    What's unfortunate about the praise Infinite gets is the precedent that is established for other developers out there. It signals that it's okay to release what is essentially just another homogenized first person shooter so long as it presents itself as a piece of groundbreaking character driven storytelling. Bioshock Infinite is an incredibly pretentious game in that it presents intriguing concepts and has dark themes, but guts itself through a poor representation of what its world might actually be like had the developers committed to fleshing it out fully instead of reversing the nature of Bioshock's setting for its own sake, while guiding you by hand through its winding plot, providing the illusion of depth through obscurity. While it's a fairly good looking game, the individual elements comprising the experience as a whole just don't fit together very well, leaving Infinite in the limbo of utter mediocrity, which by today's standards is apparently an okay thing.    … Expand

As for Columbia itself it is amazingly designed, you really do feel that you were dropped right into an alternate reality 1920s, the times where I just walked around the world and observed were some of the best I had. I loved the atmosphere and the music is perfect for the world. The graphics are very good and compliment the art style very nicely. The game takes a more guns-blazing approach to Bioshock but it does it very nicely, do not go into Infinite expecting it to be like the first two games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bioshock Infinite is the final game developed by the now rebranded (Ghost Story Games) Irrational Games. When the game came out it received a ridiculous amount of praise from all critics and is considered by many to be one of the greatest games of all time.

    Personally, I never understood this.

    I found the game to be at best, an average experience that only reached the levels it did due to its connection to the Bioshock Franchise and Ken Levine. But I would like to go deeper into why I find this game to be so mediocre.

    Plot:
    The Plot to Bioshock Infinite is often considered to be its best element, with it being called an "engaging and deep story" by countless people, and while the plot and story is serviceable to the game, it is in all honesty a rather confusing mess that seems to have been put together based on what the developers thought sounded "cool" or "deep" and that they hoped people wouldn't look to deeply into. As once you get past the shiny exterior, the hole reason for the game, the characters actions, and especially the ending make no sense at all.

    For a specific example, at a certain point you have to go through a "tear" (basically, into another universe) in order to do something for an ally, but its stated that if you go through the tear, you will not be able to come back to the original universe. When this happened, I immediately stopped and asked "Then why should I continue with my original goal? This universe is different, I doubt that the deal I made applies here". This only gets worse when you do it again, and the characters still have the same goal on their mind, when in reality it shouldn't matter any more.

    Gameplay:
    The Gameplay is just a straight downgrade from the previous entires in the series. The lack of a weapons wheel, meaning you can only use 2 guns instead of the full arsenal is especially annoying as the game takes a far more action-y gameplay perspective compared to the other two games, and heavy only two guns, which you have to constantly switch out due to lack of ammo, does not make the combat any more fun. It just makes it frustrating. The fact that the game also tries to have upgrades is also an incredibly odd choice as what's the point of upgrading certain guns when half the time you won't be able to use them? The Vigors in the game also feel rather tacked in, as they don't really offer any combat advantage other than stunning enemies.

    That being said, the gunplay is competent and at times fun to do, so its not completely broken and as it is the majority of the game, that means the game is at the very least playable without to much issue. The only other major issue is that for the majority of the game, it is painfully easy, even on the high difficulty levels. You won't have a lot of trouble moving through the game at all until the final section, when the difficulty suddenly jumps up immensely.

    Characters:
    The characters in the game are fun for the most part. Booker is a rather stereotypical anti-hero with a troubled past and plays the part of a protagonist pretty well. Comstock is an effective villain for the most part, but the lack of interaction we have with him until the end is rather unfortunate.

    The character that everyone talks about however is Elizabeth, and how she is such a welcome addition to the game. She is a fine character, though the fact that she acts like a "Disney Princess" doesn't make much sense to me considering she's been isolated her entire life. She's upbeat and offers nice commentary throughout the game and doesn't get annoying so its not a pain to have her around. But she doesn't have any real presence outside of certain story segments. She isn't in any danger during combat so whats the point of having her around? She can give you stuff that I assume she pulls from ether. And she can open tears that can give you some sort of advantage during combat, which would be more useful if combat wasn't already incredibly easy. Overall the major and minor characters of the story are fine. Nothing great, but nothing terrible either.

    Setting:
    The setting is a great idea and executed rather well. Columbia is beautiful and it does look like a lot care was brought into creating the environments. It also does go into some topics like Slavery, Racism, and religious extremism but not nearly enough. It plays it to safe. Outside of a single scene in the beginning you don't see any major sign of minorities being abused. No one says things like **** kike, chink" etc. Compared to some areas of the US from the same time, Columbia is rather tame. You can't be politically correct and also try to demonstrate how bad these themes are.

    Overall:
    Just an average game that is overrated by a large section of people. The story is bland, confusing, and full of plot holes, combat is competent but rather easy and boring, the characters are serviceable, and the setting is good but doesn't go far enough.

    Introduction

    Bioshock Infinite stands as a shining example of the artistic and narrative potential of video games. Developed by Irrational Games and released in 2013, this critically acclaimed first-person shooter transcends the boundaries of traditional gaming experiences. With its immersive world-building, thought-provoking themes, and masterful storytelling, Bioshock Infinite delivers an unforgettable and intellectually stimulating adventure.

    The Setting: Columbia, a Skyborne Utopia

    Set in the early 20th century, Bioshock Infinite transports players to the floating city of Columbia, a marvel of human achievement suspended in the clouds. The meticulously designed cityscape, with its grand architecture, vibrant colors, and attention to historical detail, creates an immersive environment that captivates players from the moment they step foot into this extraordinary world. As players explore Columbia's streets, interiors, and skylines, they uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath its seemingly idyllic façade.

    Themes that Resonate: American Exceptionalism, Racism, and Religion

    Bioshock Infinite is not just a visually stunning game; it also grapples with complex and thought-provoking themes. The narrative explores notions of American exceptionalism, shedding light on the dark undercurrents of nationalism and blind patriotism. Racism is confronted head-on, as the game confronts the systemic oppression and segregation that pervades Columbia. Religion, too, is a central theme, with the game delving into the dangers of religious fanaticism and the manipulation of faith for personal gain.

    The Protagonist: Booker DeWitt and the Mysteries of His Past

    The player assumes the role of Booker DeWitt, a former Pinkerton agent burdened by a troubled past. As the story unfolds, players accompany Booker on a mission to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman with extraordinary abilities who becomes his enigmatic companion. Booker's journey becomes an introspective exploration of guilt, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions. The character development is exceptional, and the emotional depth with which Booker is portrayed adds a layer of complexity to the overall narrative.

    Elizabeth: A Companion Who Transcends Expectations

    Elizabeth, the game's central character, is a triumph of character design and development. Her presence and interactions with the player are seamlessly integrated into the gameplay, making her an invaluable and compelling companion. Elizabeth's multidimensional personality, her endearing innocence, and her evolving relationship with Booker create a genuine emotional connection, immersing players in their shared journey.

    Gameplay: A Fusion of Action and Intellect

    Bioshock Infinite's gameplay mechanics strike a balance between heart-pounding action and cerebral engagement. Armed with an arsenal of unique weapons and powers, players engage in intense gunfights while utilizing "tears," interdimensional rifts that alter the environment and offer strategic advantages. The exhilarating combat sequences are complemented by mind-bending puzzles and thought-provoking moral choices, forcing players to confront the consequences of their actions.

    Visuals and Sound Design:
    The visual design of Bioshock Infinite is nothing short of breathtaking. The city of Columbia is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, from its grand architecture to its vibrant landscapes. The art direction combines a nostalgic Americana aesthetic with steampunk elements, creating a unique and visually stunning world. The musical score, composed by Garry Schyman, perfectly complements the game's atmosphere, evoking a wide range of emotions, from awe-inspiring orchestral pieces to haunting melodies that enhance the game's most poignant moments.

    Conclusion:
    Bioshock Infinite is a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of traditional storytelling and gaming. Its thought-provoking narrative, immersive gameplay mechanics, and stunning visuals create an unforgettable experience that challenges players intellectually and emotionally. The game's exploration of complex themes and its ability to weave together gameplay and storytelling make it a shining example of the artistic potential of the medium. Bioshock Infinite will undoubtedly continue to be celebrated and remembered as a landmark achievement in the world of video games.    … Expand

    De las mejores historias que se ha contado en un juego,
    Me ha dejado intrigado, emocionado, y lo he disfrutado mucho 10/10
    Y el DLC una auténtica maravilla, conectando este bioshock con el primero...

    A very good game, the plot in the middle of the game was a little bit annoying but in the end game everything become absolute crazy and very interesting. The difficulty in normal mode is a little hard i've died many times, whenever Elizabeth screams "HANDYMAN" I already knew that i will meet Death, but is a Very Good game. Worthy of GOTY!

    В плане визуала одна из красивейших игр. Только вот в плане геймплея- игра деградировала. Сюжет удивляет финальный твистом, а до этого момента история окутана тайной. Игра понравилась только визуалом и сюжетом, геймплей чувствуется недоделанным.В плане визуала одна из красивейших игр. Только вот в плане геймплея- игра деградировала.

    Bioshock Infinite takes a leap in self-awareness in a way few stories can do good. Booker DeWitt is written very well. The whole game made me question and ponder the inter-conflicts of every character. This game capitalized on Bioshock's potential and has me looking forward to the next

    Um dos melhores jogos de primeira pessoa shooter, com uma historia incrível e complexa de deixar a mente em colapso de tanto pensar nela, com um mundo tão belo quanto pintar com LuxColor, você tem que jogar esse jogo, que é o melhor dos BioShock.

    Nota final: 9,3

    Bioshock Infinite tried something new in regards to setting and it really did succeed there. For many, Columbia still can't compete with the atmosphere of Rapture from Bioshock and Bioshock 2. The story is interesting, but not as good as the previous titles. The gunplay is decent, but the combat doesn't feel as organic as enemies flood into open rooms to fight you.

    As a fan of the original Bioshock, I give this high of a score only for the art direction which, as an artist myself, I think is superb and fully worthy of at least 6 of the 7 I am giving this game. In other areas I was dissapointed at the game. It was severely lacking a good horror element that made the first game so engaging, and a lot of the good gameplay/rpg elements are just missing,As a fan of the original Bioshock, I give this high of a score only for the art direction which, as an artist myself, I think is superb and fully worthy of at least 6 of the 7 I am giving this game. In other areas I was dissapointed at the game. It was severely lacking a good horror element that made the first game so engaging, and a lot of the good gameplay/rpg elements are just missing, making it feel much more like an on rails shooter like a Call of Duty campaign mode than a game with depth and choice. Essentially, it felt less realistic and more scripted because of this. Talking of script, the story of this game was all over the place. It was incredibly convoluted and tacky, and dealt in the topic of multiple realities but in an incredibly cliche's and pseudointellectual way that had me rolling my eyes by the end. Unlike the original bioshock, with its strange self aware commentary on the work of ayn rand, this game takes place in the skies in a turn of the century version of religious zealotry and old american ideals of purity and independance, which is a really cool idea on the face of it. It doesnt just stick to this concept though, that is the problem. The game starts out great, and you are lead to believe that there are many avenues that will be explored in this. It feels like bioshock, with a creepy sense of unease and insanity crawling at the back of your mind as you ascend to a racists idea of heaven. But the game just lets you down, its cartoonish and unserious, i get that they were kind of going for that with elizabeth appearing like a good old american disney princess, but it just doesnt land. And the story is stupid, and story is the second most important thing in Bioshock after the art design, so its a 7 from me (the other 3 is the good story its missing)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ( TLDR Version) The so called masterpiece by some of a story is fine at best **** at worst and mostly kinda bad on top of that gun play is pretty bad
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    1 Elizabeth: Elizabeth starts off kinda dumb with her calling you a monster even tho the people you killed in front of her attacked you first and were the real monsters as not only were they trying to kill you they also held her prisoner her whole life and on top of that how they treat black people so Elizabeth calling you a monster is kinda of dumb of her as aside from her not knowing how they treat black people she knows how bad these people are. Also later she starts crying after seeing you're trying to take her to new york and not paris even tho you just told her why to were saving her and what would happen to her like a minute ago, no really it was like less then a minute before was she not listening or something why she acting like she didn't know what was gonna happen, its just dumb whats the point in having your character tell her that if shes just gonna forget it ten seconds later, it's unforgiveablely dumb.

    2 Poor combat: Gun play is pretty bad and for a game that came out in 2013 that is not acceptable and in the final bit of the game where there is a lot of combat, it's made even worst by not giving like any pistol and carbine ammo which were the only two guns i was using since there was no point using any others with how poor the gun play is also tho not really a big deal water doesn't react to the player which isn't a bad thing but does lower my enjoyment of the game,it only comes up at the start and very end of the game but still, pretty sure games in 2013 had water that reacts to the players so this game can't be given a pass, if i had played this game back when it came out i would have the same feelings toward it that i have now tho i likely would rate it higher for its graphics in 2013 then i would now, graphics still look good but i wouldn't give it a higher rating like i might have in 2013.

    3 Save points: i hate waiting for save points, sometimes you want to or need to stop playing and having to wait to get to a save point is such a pain, a blast to the past and not in a good way, i do not miss not being able to save from anywhere or when ever you want in games, i'll never take quick saving for granted again, also i wish the auto save icon stayed up longer as it goes away really quickly and is easy to miss. Also can we stop putting loud ass sounds at the start of games when you first load them up please, having the main menu trigger my tinnitus every time i load it is really annoying.

    4 Story/ writing: Tho i don't really care for the plot it's fairly well written for the most part bar a few parts mainly Elizabeth stuff but nothing to write home about, iv come across 5 points where the writing goes from fine to outright bad 2 of them come from Elizabeth being dumb. The ghost "mother" bit of the game was by far the best part of the game tho the boss fights were a little annoying due to the games bad gun play and my god the end of the game was just the worst of it, Dewitt becomes super annoying for no reason at all and all the timeline stuff just falls flat for me as iv seen this type of stuff done so many times in all sorts of media and done way better and lastly the baby stuff at the end was just kinda dumb, i get was they were trying to do but it just isn't good the story isn't "bad" more so just fine but that with the poor combat really bring down my enjoyment of this game and its story and it just kinda felt like a chore to get threw mainly the last hour give or take.    … Expand

    Very messy, holy hell. The writing can be all over the place, but it´s not bad, and the ending is really good. The main characters have a great relatioship, which is quite an achievement considering the protagonist is goofily tragic. It´s very fun despite it´s faults.

    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]
