BioShock Infinite

“A masterpiece of storytelling wrapped in beauty, sorrow, and chaos.” I came for the shooting, but I stayed for the story, the emotions, and the unforgettable ending. BioShock Infinite isn’t just a game — it’s an experience that makes you question fate, freedom, and forgiveness. The bond between Booker and Elizabeth feels real. The world of Columbia is both breathtaking and disturbing. And when the final moments hit — I just sat in silence. It’s rare for a game to be this thought-provoking and emotional. If you love deep narratives, rich symbolism, and games that stay with you long after you finish them — don’t skip this. 🎭 A true classic that deserves every bit of praise it gets.

Best story out of all bioshock games imo, worldbuilding and gameplay are very unique!

Great story, beautiful graphics, good game play. Not saying it is a short game, but I do wish it was longer. At least the DLC is great as well. For me, about as much enjoyment I have ever gotten out of a video game. It is a shame Ken has been unable to release another game in what is now 12 years.

it took everything about bio shock and made them worse the guns don't have any feel your just watching enimies fall with no feed back, the plasmid's or vigor's all feel unispired and boring to use and finnaly the story is just a bunch of go here and do this with no real feeling behind it

and another game ruined by scummy business practices that are obsessed with seeing everything you do on your pc and if you use mods despite being singleplayer strange how after a decade they decided to start doing all this i just guess the head of 2k games cant stand running a legitimate ethical company

I always comeback to this game, I don't even know why; maybe it's the narrative, the writing... gosh, it still is the best game I've ever played and it has aged beautifully. And the music, this game has a piece that haunts my playlists to this day.

Racist Mormons build airships so they can practice racism more efficiently in their floating ethnostate. As John Bioshock it is your task to retrieve an inter-dimensional orphan in order to end racism and restore order to the galaxy.

its a so so game but do not install any game with EULA on steam unless you want to open up your pc to data pirates who want to legalise stealing data AS A PART OF "GAMING".

A very good game, and a very fun game, but it doesn't feel like a bioshock game.

Right off the bat let me just say it the gameplay is lacking compared to the perfect mechanics the prequels but with that being said they're still not that bad to write Infinite off When it comes to the story this is one of the most engaging and intricate stories I've ever seen. Lots of twists and turns and the ending is... very unexpected. When it comes to the characters they are all very well written too, graphics are neat, the story doesn't drag on unnecessarily, weapon variety is ok as for enemies they were a bit repetitive and lacking but overall a very good experience In short even just for it's story this is a must buy. Overall Rating: 9.9/10

I love the game, the story line is interesting and it fascinates me on how religion, science, and magic combined would look like.

I wasn't going to play Infinite because I felt the Bioshock storyline jumped the shark a bit by adding alternate dimensions to the continuity, but the game is great fun with incredible environments and detailed personal stories. While the first two were somewhat more grounded in their concept, with the greatest suspension of disbelief being the unlikelihood of a viable city at the bottom of the ocean, once I got over the deus ex machina plot device of dimensional tearing I was finally able to see Infinite as the masterpiece it really is.

First time playing Infinite the concept is maybe bit strange. I like when they don't try to put real world things in the games but game is interesting.

Graphics, colors, story, gameplay, all solid. 10 out of 10

I played this back in 2023 just for the gunplay. But now, in 2025, I’ve fallen in love with the story — and BioShock as a whole. Gunplay = Amazing Story = Amazing Everything = Amazing A lot of people may disagree, but this is by FAR the best BioShock, and I recommend it from the bottom of my heart. If you’re not broke, buy this game and PLAY it. Unless you think The Sims has perfected PC gaming… in that case, yeah, maybe this one isn’t for you.

ts is peak bruv, cinema in flesh, i dont know where to start , the story telling is much more better than the other 2 games and omg the gameplay is so fun and dynamic i have not finished the main story yet but i can tell somthing big is coming up |the dlc's look promising to im planing on play them as well

BioShock in a whole new vibe, its great, amazing story, and dlc which has throwbacks to the OG games. Love it.

Some really good story, expansions kind of mediocre, bit glitchy, sexy times, gets kinda mundane after a while

Simply put, this game is one of my favorite shooters of all time. Good gunplay, beautiful animations, bunch of perks and abilities to choose from. And a remarkable story, which yeah has a bit of cheesy ending, but guess what, I liked it and anyways it doesn't take away the jaw-dropping visuals and ambience, which I feel like a lot of games fail to reach that level.

It's NOT as bad as people say. The gameplay and locations are really good. The ending sucks tho. I think it's better then 2 from the locations and not as a slog to get through.

Usually games that feel like movies arent very exciting, bioshock games usually dont have this issue, it gets you invested in a story while giving you good gameplay to keep you engaged with it

A bit repetitive after a while but overall a very good and original game.

A world with the most mysteries and surprises to date. The retro style of 19th-century America creates a nostalgic atmosphere. The emotional relationships between the characters, all the way to the finale, reveal everything.

An interesting dive into post-Civil War American racism and the concept of destiny. Falls on its face by being a bit unfairly harsh in its critique of the methods of violence employed by the slave uprising in the middle end of the game. I think the main plot of the game with Booker and Elizabeth hits just a bit better. DLCs were largely forgettable which is a shame considering they go back to Rapture. Gameplay-wise, this is the most fun Bioshock game by miles. It's so much tighter than the first two games and some of the new powers are really interesting (I love my army of murder crows). The hook and rails are just yes yup yup yes yes so much yes. Play it, it's good!

The mainline story is good, but DLCS aren't that great Burial at sea part 1 is to short. Couldn't get through Burial at sea part 2 without getting bored out of my head, just praying for a new bioshock game at some point but Judas seems like the only option now as its been almost 15 years.

good story, fun gameplay, superb visuals

The story is so unique and the ending left me baffled. 1999 Mode is also a great challenge after beating the game

BioShock Infinite is a solid take on the BioShock formula. The story is interesting, to say the least. It’s still not as good as the first game, but it held my attention more than the second did; especially with how it all wraps up. The DLCs are a bit convoluted, but you can piece it together if you stick with it. The ending hits with some real nostalgia if you loved the original like I did, and it made me appreciate the series even more.

[b]Great but very flawed game.[/b] When comparing the early trailers to the finished game and listening to interviews from developers, you can tell this game was a lot more ambitious earlier in development and that they cut a lot of content compared to the final release.

Generally speaking, my favorite in the series. There are various gameplay elements I missed from Bioshock 1, and I generally dislike how disconnected the story feels from the original games. Viewing it in a void, it tells a very compelling story, the setting is still very cool, and the gameplay is still good fun. 8.9/10

It is a huge deviation from the typical bioshock experience, but in a great way. The story line is very immersive, there's tons of gritty, explosive action right off the bat, and the graphics are incredible!

I'm struggling to put my feelings about this game into words. Ultimately I think if you are a fan of the other Bioshock games you owe it to yourself to play this one, But personally I don't appreciate how far the game play strays from the original. Good world and Atmosphere, mid game play, and a story that has a lot of cool moments, but looses focus and lacks a meaningful message or purpose. I really want to like this game but the game play really pulls it down for me.

Game is as fun as it was when it was new. Some mods help with the clunky game mechanics though, such as the modern warfare mod.

I remember enjoying my playthrough of this but there was so much extra content I just didn't care to explore.

I love this game. Got it years ago and was my introduction to FPS. Before this, I was not a fan of FPS but after this game I love it. Also the story is great and so are the actors. Very fun game.

radical centrism the video game. masterfully made, every bit of the world is thoughtfully crafted as is the story. the barbershop quartet singing 'god only knows', the small details through the tears, This is a level of detail AI will never be able to produce on an artistic level, and should be a blueprint for anyone seeking to make a well made FPS with a incredible story, voice acting, etc. The ultimate movie game, and it actually has gameplay. The other reviews? I don't know what the fuck these babbling lunatics are rambling about. I'd buy this one a gazillion times over if I could but I'm broke as shit.

Even in 2025, this game is a masterpiece. It didn't take long to finish, but I enjoyed every minute! The characters, music, story and style of the game are all executed with great attention and love.

A retro classic, beautiful game for it times and great unconventional storytelling.

Love the game, love the story. Not as good as the first 2 Bioshocks in either respect. It scratches the itch and has some interesting mechanics of its own but doesnt compare to the other Bioshocks. Also not really in love with 2K.

If you love Bioshock 1 & 2, then Infinite will somehow crash out and throw it into the trash. The horror shooter is tone down and take the backseat for Action Shooter to shine. That's doesn't mean the game is bad, it's it own BEAST with the world setting and feeling, narrative... And if i have any minus point for this game is enemy variety and how dumb they are compare to 1 and 2.

I'm not really an FPS gamer, but I had a great time. The atmosphere and lore are amazing, especially if you played the earlier Bioshocks. It really is a shame that the studio dissolved after this game due to the director, but as the protagonist Booker DeWitt says, "give a man a little power, and he falls in all kinds of love with himself." I played it using a gyro controller. I set in-game mouse sensitivity to minimum and the steam sensitivity to 500%. It was still a little janky, but enough to get through the game on normal difficulty. A mouse is probably the best option. Opponents move a lot faster than in most games and you really don't have the time to line up shots with a gyro controller.

By far the best Bioshock game in my opinion, and its probably the most pretty game of 2013.

While not as good as bioshock 1 in my opinion, this game is still an excellent addition to the bioshock franchise. I love the steampunk setting of Columbia, as it's very unique and not many games have it. Story was great too (although a slight bit confusing at times), and combat was a 10/10.

Autosaves only get triggered at specific locations/events so if you like exploring the game for loot be prepared to lose up to 1 hour of progress when the game inevitably crashes for whatever reason. At least the first 2 games allowed us to spam quick saves so the crashing was more tolerable. Here, not only is the game unstable but the developers were too lazy to include manual saving. You can force a save by entering and exiting zones but this only works when the game feels like it as sometimes if you try to leave and exit an area too often the game just decides you get fucked. There is also no way to disable the vita chamber equivalent unless you want to lose all progress up to the previous autosave. This makes enemy encounters extremely unsatisfying because the player never has to figure out the combat puzzles like in prior titles (with chambers disabled) because of the shitty autosaves and lazy buyback revive design. All the new gimmicks with Elizabeth don't matter when you can just die over and over again with no consequences. The gameplay feels like halo with the shield and 2 weapon limit except the devs forgot how halo had tolerable checkpoints that occur frequently. Infinite also promotes backtracking but removed the map for some unknown reason just to make the game even less enjoyable. Burial At Sea edit: None of the problems get fixed, it's worse now because for some reason the take all key gets swapped with your interact and weapon swap. This just further shows the people who made this game didn't bother to playtest and just churn out slop under a bioshock coat.

Bioshock Infinite is een meeslepende en visueel verbluffende ervaring. De zwevende stad Columbia is een unieke en prachtige setting vol verrassingen en details. De gameplay is vloeiend en dynamisch, met een goede balans tussen actie en verhaal. Een absolute aanrader voor fans van verhalende first-person shooters.

I didnt like it the first time i played it, but I enjoyed the second playtrough a lot more Every Bioshock game is worth it so just buy the whole collection

BioShock Infinite is a dazzling narrative and gameplay experience that soars beyond the depths of Rapture to deliver a stunning journey through the floating city of Columbia. It’s a masterful blend of thrilling action, breathtaking art design, and a thought-provoking story that explores identity, choice, and the consequences of fanaticism. Columbia is a vibrant, sky-high city filled with rich detail, bright colors, and art deco Americana, sharply contrasting the dark, claustrophobic atmosphere of previous BioShock games. The visuals are nothing short of breathtaking, with sweeping vistas, dynamic weather, and intricately designed environments that immerse you in a world both beautiful and unsettling. The combat in Infinite is fast-paced and fluid, with a wide arsenal of firearms and unique Vigors—plasmid-like powers that add creative depth to battles. The addition of the Sky-Hook and the city’s gondola rails introduces verticality and mobility, making fights dynamic and exhilarating. Enemy design is varied and challenging, demanding a mix of tactical thinking, quick reflexes, and smart use of abilities. The inclusion of Elizabeth, your AI companion, is a highlight; she aids you in combat, provides emotional connection, and enriches the story without ever feeling intrusive. Infinite’s narrative is ambitious and complex, weaving together themes of American exceptionalism, racism, quantum mechanics, and fate. The writing is sharp, the characters are memorable, and the plot twists are genuinely surprising without feeling forced. Elizabeth’s character arc is beautifully handled, and her evolving relationship with Booker DeWitt—the protagonist—forms the emotional core of the game. The story challenges players to think deeply about the nature of choice and reality, making for a lingering, philosophical experience. The soundtrack combines period-appropriate tunes with an eerie orchestral score that perfectly sets the tone. Voice acting is top-notch, with standout performances that bring Columbia’s residents and main characters to vivid life. Pros: -Stunning, unique art style and setting -Engaging, fluid combat with versatile abilities -Complex, thought-provoking story with memorable characters -Innovative AI companion that enhances gameplay and narrative -Rich audio design and evocative soundtrack Cons: -Some players might find the story’s complexity and multiverse concepts challenging to follow -Occasional pacing issues during longer narrative segments BioShock Infinite is an unforgettable adventure that pushes the boundaries of storytelling in video games. It combines emotional depth, philosophical inquiry, and exhilarating gameplay into a soaring masterpiece. Whether you’re drawn to its rich narrative or its vibrant world and mechanics, Infinite is a must-play for any fan of immersive storytelling and action. Rating: 8/10

This does not feel like Bioshock. Completely different vibe from the world, you can only carry 2 weapons, and the game also is just way too linear.
