    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After all the game, it bugged just at the Sea of Doors. The girl dissapears in front of the Lighthouse and the door won't open. And as it has only autosave and no manual saves, I can't return to a previous point. I haven't played the whole game just to watch the end on youtube. I think it's a shame, and I won't buy a single game of this studio anymore.… Expand

    Final entry of the bioshock saga with the best story so far, the gunplay and the vigors are also pretty good in this game but not as good as in the other bioshocks. Elizabeth is also an amazing character and the Lutece are funny as hell. And the burial at sea dlcs are very good dlcs.

    + World was brilliantly imagined and designed
    + Graphics were outstanding for the PS3 era
    + Dialogue was well written and expertly voice acted

    - Gameplay and gunplay felt lacking and tedious, especially compared to BioShock 2
    - Story was a bit of a convoluted mess
    - Enemies were unmemorable outside of Songbird

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    This is a masterpiece on its own. Even if you don't have the background knowledge of the Bioshock world you can still easily get immersed in this story and be shocked at the end. The combat is also fun and challenging if you are going for a higher difficulty. Definitely worth a try for anyone new to the series.

    Terzo episodio della serie, migliora addirittura l'ottimo primo capitolo.
    Trama intensa e ricca di colpi di scena, personaggi carismatici e tridimensionali.
    Gameplay che riprende quello dei primi due episodi, ampliandolo.
    Grafica, ambientazioni e comparto audio evocativi.
    Uno dei migliori FPS in commercio.

    Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt is what Booker Dewitt (Troy Baker) has to do in the newest BioShock game. Set in 1912 during the growth of American exceptionalism, former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, is sent to the floating air-city of Columbia to find that young woman known as Elizabeth (Courtnee Draper), who has been held incarcerated there for most of her life in a life style bird cage, protected by a mysterious creature known as Songbird. Though Booker rescues Elizabeth, the two are pursued by the city's warring factions: the nativist and elite Founders leaded by Prophet Zackary Comstock (Kiff VandenHeuvel) that strive to keep the city for pure Americans from their view as un-American, and the Vox Populi, a rebel group lead by Daisy Fitzroy (Kimberly Brooks) representing the minorities. Booker finds Elizabeth to be central to this conflict, and learns that she possesses extraordinary powers to manipulate rifts in the space-time continuum that wreak havoc on Columbia. The City in the Sky leave the depths of Rapture to soar among the clouds. The flying city is a beautiful and vibrant world that holds a very dark secret. It is found by the beliefs of Christianity and the worship of the Founding Fathers as religious figures, while also a police state that enforced racist and sexist attitudes on its citizens. Yes, the game has some racism, but its story is based on 1912 where racism was in its prime. This game isn't for the young gamer, but for mature audience anyways. It' a new world, way different to the damp, dark and Claustrophobia area. While the game doesn't offer free range gaming, and often limited. It's in rich with beautiful colors, details, and Easter eggs. Example: The Barbershop version of "God Only Knows". I miss Barbershop quartets. I love the steam punk, and Harry Turtledove feel to the game. To understand more about the story, I think it's very important for the player is able to locate audio logs, Voxophones and film projectors Kinetoscopes so that they will expand on the history of Columbia beyond those events occurring within the game. The player controls Booker throughout the game, eventually working with the AI-controlled Elizabeth. Having Elizabeth around, doesn't feel like an escort mission, you don't have to protect her, and she is very helpful as she gathers up money, vigors, and ammos for you. She also can unlocked doors and use her power to help fight hostile forces. Elizabeth felt like a Disney like character and works against Booker's grim appearance. Like previous BioShock games, the player uses a combination of weapons, gears, and psychokinetic powers granted through vigors. You can played on normal (easy, normal, and hard). All of them are a great challenge, but never to too frustrating. Enemies such as Handy Men, Patriots, and Sirens will make this game interesting. If not, there is the sky-line. A roller coaster, type ride for the player. There is also a 1999 mode will make you a pro and change the dynamics of the game. The faults of the game are that there are no altering endings like the previous Bio Shock's games. At the end of the game you realize why your choices don't matter, this was done purposely. This is why everyone should accept why there aren't any alternate endings. Still, it would be awesome to have a choice. If there's one thing we learned from this game is that in life you may have a limited amount of choice, but the potential outcomes are infinite. The game is less open and mazy. I wished this Songbird was also a boss instead of just a cut scene. The two weapon limit. The battles like the last battle needed better design. I couldn't really get a chance to buy all the upgrades I want and there is not a New Game+. The Vigors could've used more buff. Last, there weren't any puzzles or problem solving areas like the other Bio Shock's games. Still, the game is amazing and kick-ass but I don't see a sequel for it. Not because it's bad, no way is BioShock Infinite a bad game. So far it's one of the best games I've played in 2013. But unlike the last two BioShock games which even when you escaped from Rapture the city is still down there, and there's possible sequels for it. But the ending for Infinite, mind blowing ending by the way and the way it's told doesn't feel like it's setting up for a sequel if you know what I mean. Absolutely fantastic game! It's already become one of my all-time favorite games. It's a fun gameplay and having pleasing visuals. So give it a try. Game on, my fellow gamers.    … Expand

    Bioshock Infinite is an amazing game, the type of game we can't forget. These days, with so many games released, we find a lot of games who suffer from being too generic.

I played this game twice and I just finished this morning one of the DLC (Burial at sea episode 1 ) which I also recommend.

    For me, this game is almost a 9/10. I think the best section is the first chapters when we enter Columbia. Ken Levine is so good to create worlds and universes. Columbia and Rapture are wonderful and unique ! Also, I must add that Elisabeth is one of the best side characters I ever saw in a video game !

    Bioshock Infinite is quite different than the first two entries (Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2). It is more linear and they implemented new systems (tears, aerotram, etc...).

    Why I didn't give this game 9 or 10/10 ? I think it's because of the mechanics and the bad difficulty spike for the last battle. I think they should encouraged more the use of the different types of vigors and even create puzzles around that (they missed a huge opportunity here...). At least, in Bioshock 1, there were some small environmental puzzles for the plasmids like melting the ice for exemple.

    However, this is a great game that is still enjoyable in 2022 :)    … Expand

I know that a bunch a people don't like this game because it does not take place in Rapture but I loved this game as soon as I started playing. The story and the time travel can be a bit confusing but I loved the stories and the characters. I like the characters Booker and Elizabeth. I like the sitting and the whole cult vibe behind Comstock. Overall I have played 1 and Infinite and the dlcs and I loves this series I can't wait till I play 2 and get the whole Bioshock experience.

    Bioshock infinite is the sequel that the original deserved. The world building for Columbia is just as powerful and impactful as it was for Rapture, and the character building we see with Elizabeth and Booker is something that was missing from the first.

    Quizá mi único problema es que parece que la jugabilidad esta muy separada de la trama, existen muy pocas menciones e usos de las habilidades de booker en toda la historia, ademas de solo ser un sistema de oleadas con uno que otro enemigo distinto que al final resulta aburrido.    … Expand

    How anyone can say this is a good Bioschock game is beyond me. Let me preface my review by first saying, I absolutely loved Bioshock, and Bioshock 2 is still one of my favorite games to date. That being said, I had high expectations for this game; especially when the critic reviews were released and the scores were absurdly high.

    This game should have been called Bioshock: the Call of    How anyone can say this is a good Bioschock game is beyond me. Let me preface my review by first saying, I absolutely loved Bioshock, and Bioshock 2 is still one of my favorite games to date. That being said, I had high expectations for this game; especially when the critic reviews were released and the scores were absurdly high.

    This game should have been called Bioshock: the Call of Duty Edition. Gone is the stealth and strategy that made the gameplay of its predecessors so great and unique. In the place of strategy, Infinite offers hours of mindless shooting, almost limitless quantities of looting, waves upon waves of enemies, all to ensure this cycle continues throughout the entirety of the story. The gameplay was honestly so stale and boring that it felt more like a chore than a hobby trying to finish the 'game'. There's the new addition of a hook which is supposed to feel cool and new, but it doesn't; it feels like cheesy and like a gimmick because that's what it is.

    The atmosphere actually looked good but lacked depth across the board. The city was shockingly empty in a way very different than the first two Bioshock titles.
    The story was alright but kept hinting at something great, and although it does get better towards the end, it never reaches that level or feels fluid at any point. Elizabeth is also complete lame. She just stands around most the time but never really adds character or another dimension... its just so disappointing. Hence, the gameplay, atmosphere, and story all fall short or the originals in my opinion. All the gameplay is by far the biggest insult to fans of the series.

    The fact that this game was released under a 'Bioshock' total is a complete **** straight to the face of the fans of the series. Did Levine, any of the devs, or anybody else associated with this game honestly think this was a good sequel to the original, groundbreaking Bioshock from 2007?? Did they think the real fans wouldn't notice that this was basically a run-n-gun, call of duty, sci-fi-type of thing with the Bioshock title attached to it?? Or that the few strengths this game had, it's atmosphere and story ending were good enough to make up for the empty world, and 18 hours of bland gameplay?? Well, guess what, that's NOT how it works; they should all be ashamed of themselves!! Honestly, I'm disgusted that this game is associated with Bioshock in any way; AND, by all the 'critics' (what a joke) who gave this game great scores; AND, by all the 'fans' who gave this a positive review!!!

    Levine should reimburse me the $60 I paid for this - plus the traumatic damages of seeing one of my favorite gaming franchises go down the toilet in front of my very eyes! It really is sad but I guess it was bound to happen at some point. The funny thing is I've had these feelings ever since I finished the title way back in 2013, but I only decided to write this review now after seeing how the fans are reacting to the recent failures of TLOU part 2.

    Even if this game didn't have the Bioshock title attached to it, it would still only be MEDIOCRE at best, and that's me being nice. I am glad I've finally written my review for this title after so many years. And now, when one of my buddies occasionally say that they're going to play the Bioshock trilogy because they've 'heard good things', I can refer them to this review for Infinite. If for some reason you're thinking of playing this game because you liked the first two, please don't - save yourself the immense disappointment - just replay the first two, or play something else.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game starts of so great and really emerges you into the atmosphere of the world but then it just pushes you away from all of that. When I first played Bioshock Infinite the ps4 remastered version I was blown away by the city of Columbia and was even interested in their reasons for succeeding from the "Sodom" land dwellers. Then it all just fell apart when the game pulled the predictable "your the bad guy they want" cliche and it was so obvious rather help these people fight the vox's and for a moment I though that was where the story would take me but no no sky racists who of course are very religious. This type of basic plot line really bored me and made me stop playing the game once I though how ridiculously mediocre it was. The game starts of so good and the people treat you so well it is such a shame. The combat is feels clunky once again here and not an improvement from even the first game it appears they tried to put effort into improving the combat but they just gave up on it on the plus side however the new melee executions are enjoyable Bioshock Infinite's best thing they got going for it is the atmosphere and map design. Expect to run around fighting kkk looking cultists and some even with power but for me it just seems like a game that is an sjw's dream game not my cup of tea maybe if you can help the land dwellers fight against the sky supremacists but you can't do that either so what's the point. One part of the game I had won a raffle and was supposed to throw it at a black woman the game wanted me to feel bad but i just rolled my eyes I'm not asking for a walking simulator but in my honest opinion they could have done a plot line much better then this.… Expand

    The worst part about this is that there is basically no consequence of death. Enemies you killed stay dead after you rez, and you lose some money. As long as you keep buying updates and dont hoard money, the punishment is neglible.

It has many great characters that you learn more about and is actually interested in them, such as Booker, Comstock, Fitzroy, and Elizabeth.

    BioShock Infinite is a shooter in which the shooter is somewhere in the background. During the passage, I practically did not use power engineers. Management done pretty crooked. But instead, BioShock gives a wonderful story, narration, characters. BioShock charges you with a positive thanks to a wonderful style. This is the best story game I've ever played.

    There are quite a few reasons why Bioshock Infinite is my favorite of the three, not only in gameplay but also it narrative progression/structure.

In structure, it's much more like the first game in the series but in its artistic design (as far as the story goes), it far surpasses even the original. Going into this game, I was skeptical that it was going to be "too different" and stand apart from the rest because of it but as I got further into this game I realized that this decision to separate the game from its predecessors was hardly anything negative. Because of it's inherent independence, it didn't need to try to connect itself in any way; instead of having huge plot points drawing similarities between the two, it could rely on thematics and mechanics to do all of the work while simply adding a VERY few little references via dialogue easter eggs. Referring to biblical "Adam and Eve" allows for connections between the ADAM and EVE in Bio1/2 to be made, and calling Elizabeth "Lamb" also not only draws comparisons to Lamb in the first games but also adds credibility to the biblical entendres. Furthermore, Rapture's name seems much more biblically based than just biblically inspired. Biblical or not, the narratives that tie these games together are air-tight and deserving of praise.
    Gameplay, as mentioned, was also a huge step-up. Offering more player freedom, Infinite's quasi-free-roaming aesthetic made me feel much less connected to a linear responsibility and allowed me to have a lot more fun at the wheel. The sky-line was a blast, offering not only a quick escape-route from over-pressuring skirmishes but unique ways of coming into/returning to battles to get the leg up on intimidating opponents. While the vigors were a lot of fun as well, they didn't impress me as much as the Plasmids did from the first games, feeling less powerful and sometimes fairly useless in comparison. Also, with the setting and story being very biblical, I'm not sure why "vigors" and "salts" were a necessary (arbitrary) change and even though it seemed like semantics, I would have appreciated "Plasmids" and "EVE" remaining the monikers of those elements. Possibly my favorite gameplay change, however, was the emphasis on this being a SHOOTER (finally). The first two games while being First Person never really felt like shooters to me. Infinite, however, offered me a bolt-action sniper that I could quickscope fools with and allowed me to absolutely dominate every encounter I was in. Enemies died in one shot nearly 100% of the time and I felt like a Terminator; from the 3rd or 4th level when the sniper is introduced until the very final chapter, one of my two guns was-- without fail-- the sniper.
    I think the only thing that I didn't like at all was how expensive vigor upgrades were. For about 1500 bucks, I could make minor upgrades to vigors I never used or for 250 I could upgrade damage and efficiency of guns that you encountered dozens of times in every chapter. I'm not sure why the vigor upgrades were so expensive but they turned me off of ever upgrading any of them since it seemed like a ridiculous scam. Of course, I mostly stuck with my sniper anyways but I would have liked to combine it with a vigor or two.
    Lastly, I need to touch on Elizabeth (heh heh). She was the driving force of what made this story so compelling and strong. At first, she offered an innocent Beauty and the Beast-sort of twist but as we learned about her Tears and her will to be free, the story became simply mesmerizing. Her relationship with Booker was nothing less than beautiful and as you started to figure out more about them, it became even more glorious and emotionally epic. She became a little too much of a Deus Ex Machina towards the end but in doing so, she connected the games together in ways that I didn't see coming. I got a little bit of a Disney's Atlantis vibe but that's nothing negative except that it detracted from her humanity and therefore, sympathy of character.

Soundtrack adapts to every situation, and when there's action it helps to rise your adrenalin. The plot is also interesting although it gets more and more complicated and the atmosphere has been well done. Also, the first person makes you involve more in the game and I think this was a good decision. I normally play the games in English but this time Spanish voices were decent. To sum up, you could say this is a weird good game. I beat it in 2 and a half days making pauses and searching everywhere so I guess it took me 15 hours or so, if you go straight to goals it might take you 10 hours. About difficulty I only died once in easy mode. Just take cover when you're shield is over. Also, you can carry 2 kinds of weapons. I was in the middle of the game when I realized that I could change my pistol for better guns so make sure to have good weapons. I'd recommend to have one short gun or launcher and another long range weapon. I don't want to talk more about the plot because I don't want to spoil it. It's just a good action game with an interesting plot, good enviroment, not scary but gore so I wouldn't recommend this game for kids. I wouldn't dare to say this is a must have but I don't regreat at all to have bought it. I just feel lucky to have decided to get this game. Enjoy it!… Expand

I have not yet activated respawn chamber on this level, so I've got only one shot at this.

    One last breath,I lean out of corner slowly, aim my pistol carefully and shoot. BANG. Armor piercing bullet hit the bot and damaged it, but I also got his attention. Recoil of the gun messed my aim, so I have to aim again. BANG. Another hit! Military bot is almost dead but I don't have time to aim again, because he starts to shoot with his machine guns. I hide behind the wall just in time to hear the bot's burst fire hit empty space where I was half a second ago. Burst ends, now its time to finish it. I lean out once again, aim and... pistol jams! God damn it, not now.

    I'm out of auto-repair units, so now its time to run. I use a speed booster hypo and run frenetically down the hallway. The bot runs after me, I hear another burst of machine gun fire and expect the worst, but... The burst was a machine gun turret I hacked a while ago. It finished the mech and I have a few more minutes to live at least. Dr. Polito congratulates me via my cyber-implanted communication device and sends me some Cybernetic Modules. Guess I shall use them to improve my repair skill so that I can make the damn gun working again. There is something strange about this Dr. Polito though, I'm not sure I like her.

    This here above authentically describes how it feels to play System Shock 2. Bioshock: Infinite calls itself a spiritual successor to System Shock franchise, but I have no idea why. It is basically a fast-paced arcade shooter. It feels very simillar to Bulletstorm. You are esentially running around, trying to dodge dozens of enemies that are after you and kill them in the process. You also collect items, but you dont actually care what items you found, you just press the [] button to pick up anything. It either boosts your health, your mana (called "salt"), gives you ammo or money that you don't care about because there is not much to spend them for. The shooting mechanics are not very satisfying, guns have no weight and no "umph". You have shield that regenerates automatically once you are out of enemy fire for a few seconds and the only thing that sets it apart from hundreds of other average arcade shooters is impressive setting. And a gimmick called "vigors" which is a collection of a few spells you can use in combat. I found the one that possessed enemy turret (or even a soldier once you upgrade it) the most useful.

    Slow methodical approach is out of the question. The character moves too fast, the enemies move too fast, and overall the design doesn't allow you to play like that.

    Levels are perfect corridors. You can't get lost, there is no exploration. If you are not sure where to go, you can press a button to see direction (like in Killzone 2 for example).

    You dont care if you die, because the girl that is with you always revives you and you barely lose a few seconds before you get on the place where you died. The enemies you killed before you died are still dead, so you can basically just run around and shoot, die, and repeat (I'm playing on the hardest difficulty and there is precisely ZERO challenge in this game - if you die, you just respawn and your enemies don't, so you will eventually kill them all).

    The story is interesting, although a bit confusing.

    Overall this is a game that can be fun to play for a while and then go away and forget it. It is completely average in my opinion, but I put a few points down because it pretends it is more than it is - a successor to one of the best games of all time, System Shock 2. Well, it is not. Not even remotely. Has literally NOTHING to do with it except the "shock" word in the title.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, I wasn't hooked into the Columbia world as I was with rapture. Mainly attributed to gameplay design choices, I feel that the world was, if anything, shoved down my throat with little enjoyment. Story was interesting enough, but similar to its gameplay, it fell into a state of repetition that ultimately became more an annoyance as the game progressed.

    Easily the best game i ever played. Without any spoilers, will like to say that you will just not be able to imagine what the twist in the plot is.

    The game plays amazingly well and easily one of the best looking games beyond its time.

    Well, maybe I'm not a Bioshock fan, but this is not really great shooter. Gameplay is not taking you anywhere with all it's mechanics. The story is great. Worth sitting through.

    Bought this for dirt cheap for PS3 and a nice refreshing change from other FPS games like the great CoD series. It is like Alice in Wonderland meets psychelic version of Halo and had a love child. Graphics are excellent, the skylines are fun change in the game and action nonstop. Now I still prefer games like Fallout 3 and Far Cry 3 because they have more open world sandbox and crafting options. This is a linear game but still fun.

    Not as great and what I did not like why it is not perfect

    1. Autosave method sucks. Why no ability to do manual game saves? This sucks because I have to redo a level if I die.

    2. Also the anti-white propaganda is annoying social justice warrior **** nonsense. I am tired of hearing 24x7 on lamestream media how white people are evil.

    3. Not much replay value. Probably not worth replay except for DLCs.

    Overall I like this far better than Mass Effect series and Deux Ex Human revolution which sucked bad.

    I wish they would add crafting and ability to use vehicles like cars and boats.    … Expand

    In my opinion, BioShock Infinite is exactly as good as the original BioShock in almost everything. In other words, it is another masterpiece of video games. Even more importantly, it is as good as the first BioShock with different elements and ideas.

However, Columbia,    In my opinion, BioShock Infinite is exactly as good as the original BioShock in almost everything. In other words, it is another masterpiece of video games. Even more importantly, it is as good as the first BioShock with different elements and ideas.

    At the beginning, one may think this is not even BioShock, as Rapture is too significant a city to be changed this way. However, Columbia, despite its radically opposed atmosphere, offers new challenges and a carefully planned storyline. It maintains BioShock essence (which goes beyond Rapture, Columbia or any other possible setting) while adding many other relevant aspects, such as the presence of Elizabeth, a larger variety of enemies and weapons or new movements to move across Columbia. Gameplay is thus of the same quality -or even better- than the first game.

    Particularly, the DLC is indispensable to understand the whole BioShock universe inasmuch as it achieves that everything in the other games makes full sense. BioShock is a perfectly closed circle precisely because of Infinite DLC, so do not miss it. I could not conceive BioShock without this added content.

    Personally, I still prefer the original BioShock because of the underwater atmosphere and the sense of decadence. Nevertheless, I think it just depends on opinion, since there is not one 'better' than the other. in any case, bear this in mind: BioShock Infinite is a unique masterpiece in video games history.    … Expand

    -Excellent story with an unexpected masterful finale
    - Beautiful graphics
    -Memorable locations, levels, characters
    -Awesome gameplay

    It isn't a perfect game, but it's maybe, one of the better things to come up in 2013

    Gameplay is pretty good, but story brings this game down. They've tried to make something that looks smart, but plot is actually full of holes and overused devices. Yonger gamers may found this attracrive, but adults most likely will be bored with it, so enjoy shooting.

    OK so I'll say from the outset that I played this right after playing the first two games back to back (it took me about a month to get through each game, so that'll give you an idea of the pace), so I had them fresh in my mind for comparison.

The first game introduced the fascinating world of rapture, and made you think of the possibilities if such a world existed. It was solid, but not amazing. The second game basically improved on the first in almost every way. It felt familiar, yet better, and with an interesting twist of you now playing the big daddy and interacting with little sisters.

    This game felt like it was trying to reboot the old games, but with a different look and in the sky instead of under the ocean. It didn't do it quite as well. I have to say that the scene at the beginning when you first arrive and you're in the church, with choir music playing in the background was probably the most beautiful scene I've ever seen in a video game (and I don't even go to church, so that bias wasn't there). It gave me the chills. I even listened to the music from that scene on YouTube a few times afterwards. Unfortunately, it was mostly downhill from there.

    The story was overly complex, and the ending felt rushed. The weapon and secondary power (vigor) progression wasn't done as well as the previous games, and the actual fun seemed to be lacking. I felt like I was just drudging through the game, shooting more bad guys, listening to some recordings and dialogue that flesh out the (somewhat confusing) story a little more, rinse and repeat.

    The environments did look beautiful, and were a nice departure from the drab/gloomy environments of the first two games. The voice acting was also very well done. That's basically the two main highlights.

    I found myself not wanting to play out of enjoyment, but out of just wanting to beat it and see where the story went, and perhaps why the heck it was called a "Bioshock" game. The answers to both were pretty disappointing. I saw the twist coming before it arrived (it wasn't very inspired), so that failed to make any impact either.

    In the end it wasn't exactly a bad game, but not a very good one either. I was glad when I finally finished it, so I could move on to something else that might be more enjoyable.    … Expand

    Este jogo é uma fraude em todos os aspectos.

    Primeiro - Em um primeiro momento, ainda que bem mais curto que Bioshock 1, você pode considerar 20-25 horas um tempo satisfatório para um modo single player. O problema é que pelo menos 70% desse tempo é gasto indo e voltando pelos mesmos caminhos. Sua missão é ir do ponto A ao B. Quando você chega no ponto B descobre que falta alguma coisa    Este jogo é uma fraude em todos os aspectos.

    Primeiro - Em um primeiro momento, ainda que bem mais curto que Bioshock 1, você pode considerar 20-25 horas um tempo satisfatório para um modo single player. O problema é que pelo menos 70% desse tempo é gasto indo e voltando pelos mesmos caminhos. Sua missão é ir do ponto A ao B. Quando você chega no ponto B descobre que falta alguma coisa que te impede de seguir adiante, aí você tem que voltar ao ponto A, resolver a pendência e retornar ao ponto B. E mais adiante no jogo você vai passar novamente pelo mesmo caminho (ponto A ao B), e isso se repete durante todo o jogo. Então é uma fraude o tempo de jogo no modo single player.

    Segundo - O conteúdo deliberadamente retirado do jogo principal para ser vendido separadamente sob a forma de DLC faz falta, pelas razões já expostas no parágrafo anterior. Esqueça a riqueza gráfica e variação de cenários do Bioshock 1. Neste aqui, você vai ver sempre o mesmo visual, do início ao fim. A única coisa que muda é a iluminação, de acordo com a hora do dia e algumas nuvens pelo caminho.

    Terceiro - A inteligência artificial, se é que pode ser chamada de inteligente, é uma das piores que tive o desprazer de experimentar. Às vezes é ridiculamente fácíl, com o boneco esperando para tomar um tiro na cabeça, outras vezes extremamente frustrante, com um sistema de cobertura falha em que você toma tiro mesmo sem estar no raio de visão de ninguém. Outro problema é que a Elisabeth frequentemente se mete na sua frente e bloqueia a passagem. Lembram do RE 5? Pois é, acontece o mesmo aqui e você não pode matar a Elisabeth para conseguir andar livremente pelo cenário, tem que aguentar até o fim do jogo.

    Quarto - Os gráficos que impressionam nos primeiros minutos, logo se mostram bem ultrapassados. Todos os cidadãos de Columbia possuem a mesma aparência, e isso não faz parte da história. As mulheres tem o mesmo rosto, de acordo com a raça. Toda mulher de pele clara tem o mesmo rosto, toda mulher de pele escura tem o mesmo rosto e isso vale para os homens também. A aparência da Elizabeth é muito artificial e cartunesca. Se foi a intenção dos desenvolvedores, acho que foi uma decisão infeliz, pois não está de acordo com os cenários que estão com texturas mais próximas da realidade, apesar do ambiente fantasioso. A Elisabeth se encaixaria perfeitamente no jogo Alice, que está mais de acordo com esse tipo de gráfico.

    O áudio é o único ponto competente do jogo, com centenas de diálogos e bom som ambiente, mas, novamente, não se compara ao áudio do Bioshock 1, que é infinitamente (desculpe o trocadilho) superior.

    Enfim, se é uma franquia a comparação é inevitável com os jogos anteriores e sob esse aspecto Bioshock Infinite está bem distante dos anteriores, apenas uma mera lembrança do que já foi Bioshock. Se o objetivo é inovar então faça isso de um modo competente, que não foi o caso, e crie um novo nome.

    Voltando ao assunto das DLCs, quanto a isso, é uma praga que infelizmente veio para ficar, graças ao suporte dessa nova geração de gamers. Graças às DLCs, vemos jogos sendo lançados cheios de bugs, o que não acontecia antes, para posteriormente serem corrigidos, e conteúdos serem deliberadamente retirados do jogo principal para serem vendidos sob a forma de DLC e arrecadar mais dinheiro para desenvolvedoras e produtoras mercenárias.

    Quanto às pontuações altas que este jogo recebeu, penso que são dadas por avaliadores parciais, que recebem patrocínio para avaliar bem certas produtoras ou que jogaram apenas os primeiros minutos do jogo.

    Enfim, não recomendo este jogo, não só porque destoa do resto da franquia, mas principalmente porque tudo o que foi proposto de inovação foi mal executado.    … Expand

There are so many good things to say about this game the art, story and writing are excellent! The games premise is unique and intriguing and you find yourself raising so many questions playing through the game. Most of these questions are answered well and you won't be disappointed.

    Compared to the first game there isn't the same sense of unease, you are just going through the motions to one section to another with your companion Elizabeth who is an important plot device used throughout the game. There also isn't an atmosphere like the first game, rapture was an eerie, creepy and wonderful location that made you feel like you were never safe. Columbia is more of a weird, pretty and open location and doesn't have an effect on you like rapture did, however it is beautiful to look at and fun to explore.

    The gameplay is more fluid than previous Bioshock games, vigors (new plasmids) are still fun to use but most are just for aesthetic purposes rather than for practical use and you'll find yourself using the same throughout the game, gunplay feels solid but is nothing mind blowing, it gets the job done. The story is very well put together and always keeps you on your toes, it really is one of the best stories in video games with a few mind blowing sections. Apart from a few new gameplay features such as clothes that provide you with slight stat boosts and special abilities every other part of Bioshock infinite will feel familiar to you if you've played the previous games, what also helps the game feel more fluid is the use of the skyhook, this device allows you to hook on various rails that are suspended off the ground and will let you get around a lot faster, this makes combat feel more exciting and is a great addition.

    This game starts great and ends great with only a few missions throughout the game that slows things down but the game is quick to rise up again. One of the best games ever made in my opinion but still not as good as the original Bioshock, a must buy!    … Expand

    Multiple dimensions and a clever scenario with a surprise around every corner make it difficult for us to explain our enthusiasm without spoiling the story. Only the extended ghost chase (literally) halfway through the game drags on a bit too long. [April 2013, p.74]
