BioShock Infinite

A game has never left such a profound impression on me, the story is the most thought provoking and interesting video game stories I think I've ever encountered. It gives hints of the original games while still being fresh and different, allowing players that are new to the series to enjoy a Bioshock game without having to understand the origins, and the scenery is nothing short of breath taking. I don't think anyone has done a companion NPC as good as Elizabeth since this game. She feels profoundly real, she doesn't repeat the same tired voice lines (in fact she never repeats a single one) or get stuck on scenery, she comments on the world around her, and interacts with the playable character as if she's her own person, it's truly an excellent portrayal of an NPC. This game isn't just a game, it's a thought provoking story told in the most beautiful and tragic way. A truly phenomenal game <3

Great story mode game and i loved the ending, if your bored and wanna play a open world action game. 100% buy this

BIoshock infinite is a masterpiece in terms of story and sci-fi gameplay is chefs kiss on the top. The ending is really mind blowing.

Fun game. lots of loot and enemies to shoot, cool abilities and weapons to find. The graphics are decent and the map design / map background is awesome. cool storyline.

I played both Bioshock 1 & 2 when they came out. I loved both of them. I played this when it came out too and didn't like it. I gave it a try again and I really liked the story but it just isn't a Bioshock game to me. I really wish this was just called Infinite and wasn't related to Bioshock.

Idk why the girl is different between the game model, trailer and the game poster, but oh well. Fun game

[h1] Disappointment: The game [/h1] I had such hopes for this, so many people telling me its "the best thing ever" just for it to come out worse than its predecessors from 2007 and 2010. But let's figure out what went wrong, eh? Infinite starts off really strong, Columbia has such an amazing contrast to Rapture from first two games and its introduction is easily one of the best moments in the entire series. Then the introduction ends. And oh boy the game just starts to fall apart since that. 1. While the guns do feel nicer to shoot from, it still feels such a dissapointment due to the fact that for some weird reason you are now able to have only 2 guns at most. You can't buy ammo so you'll constantly need to pick up new guns from enemies. Why would you do this in a game about choices and variables?? The system perfectly worked before and then they just decided to ruin it?? Who approved of this?? Also say goodbye to the unique weapon model changes when you upgrade a weapon! 2. Goodbye non-linear exploration! Goodbye using plasmids and audio diaries to unlock new doors and secrets! Instead there are levels with hoards of enemies fighting you just so you can get to the next one! Yet again, a game about choices and variables decides to limit your experience to only one way, incredible. 3. Why would you get rid of hacking? I understand that the first game had an issue with that but you figured out the perfect formula in the second game and it was one of my favorite things to just hack a bunch police bots and turrets so that they would fight for me. Ig instead of that I'm only able to posses only one turret at a time, and when it comes to doors and safes be ready to look at Elizabeth's lock picking animation a total of 100 times! Wow! Don't forget to place lockpicks everywhere so that you won't even have to do item management! 4. Props to the devs for doing a multiverse story before it became mainstream. Doesn't change the fact that it constantly contradicts itself while also making some stupid points along with an ending that leaves you with a sour taste in mouth Of course, i did have SOME enjoyment playing this, the game does manage to look absolutely stunning and be sometimes fun, that doesn't change sheer disappointment and how it left me upon completing it

Idiotic level design combined with poor gameplay- make this a non worth while purchase. Overall this gets a 3/10. Buy this one sale.

Great story! Didn't expect to be drawn into the world of Columbia so hard, and to be carried away by such a wild ending. Maybe go back and play the story again, but even once was enough to feel satisfied with a wonderful tale.

Game does not launch... Gets through all the publishers and developer logos but then that's it.

I did a normal vanilla playthrough, and at the very end when you free elizabeth and go to kill comstock i get a black screen with my hud still up and my shield constantly breaking, regening, -health and a horrible sound, if you get this issue ive tried everything and it didnt fix it cant finish a game from when i was young :(

Played this game alot growing up. First time playing it on PC and I can say this game still holds up greatly!

Really good game, played this as my first bioshock game and really enjoyed it. Combat is very fun level design is really interesting with the skyhook. Story is great as well I was totally bought in by like the 1/4 mark, also for being 12 years old now the game holds up extremely well. 10/10

Beautiful game with a moving story and a bittersweet ending.

It's a yes, but it wasn't anywhere close to as good as the other games. So if you have to choose one, go with the first. It still holds up. But regarding Infinite, it had great environments and story. But the game lost me in the last quarter, and I ended up quite bored with the mechanics at that point. It was very repetitive in the combat, and the enemies weren't fun to fight in the games closing battles, with you just spending most of your time on the rails going from one side of the level to the other to kite and kill enemies. I also felt like I was punished if I didn't loot every single container or corpse. The DLC was okay, but I wasn't fond of the near-forced stealth in some parts. Probably a 7/10 for me. Great game, but unengaging combat. If they'd delivered on all their promises prior to launch, it could easily have been a 9.

Wow. Just wow. I convinced myself this game was Bioshock in name only, maybe in some ways it is, but it all wraps together beautifully. I am amazed every time a game is able to leave that kind of impression on me. This is a game that will weigh heavy on my mind for a long time. Btw, don't turn off frame cap. Had a lot of issues with the actual gameplay and didn't know until about 8-9 hours in that it was such an easy fix.

This game is the most torn between being perfect and mid game ever. On one hand you have some of the most beautiful, unique and compelling world building in gaming history and then it gets weighed down by extremely uninspired combat and looting. I think this game was rushed towards the end of development, there's a certain point in the game that its extremely obvious that it was forced to be cut short. So many things in this game are left to be explored, imagine if they went with the gameplay direction of concept trailers of this game... Still worth playing.

The underwater fantasy world works for Bioshock. Just not my coup de grace...

its good, but pretty weak for a bioshock game none the less i still enjoyed it

Good game. Interesting to see where it all began, also knowing where it is going to. Play the game to unveil how it happens. I do miss some stuff from the first two games, this one is more shooter than the others, but still fun with Vigor mechanics.

Beautiful story, great gameplay, good combat. Also hot girl at your side all the time.

A game that gets worse the further in you get. The story goes downhill and the limited weapons and powers grow quite stale by the time you finish the game. For the time it had some unique ideas but the cracks really started to show even back in 2013 and the game becomes frustrating.

I finished this game some time ago, so I can't remember everything, but it's one of the few games that drew me in so much. I finished BioShock Infinite in one session, it was quite a long session, but it was worth it. The plot may not have been perfect, but it was very good. From the perspective of time, it's hard for me to say what drew me in so much, story? world? graphics or characters? or maybe everything? in any case, this game is definitely worth playing

although the original is a classic masterpiece of environmental storytelling this one is very close behind and in my opinion a superior game. its DLC makes it even better and more unforgettable. the entire collection is worth buying on sale its worth your while.

i forgot how amazing this game was and all the twist it has i absolutely love it and itll always be classic 10/10

I've never been as conflicted about a game as I am with [i]Infinite[/i]. I played both [i]Bioshock 1 & 2[/i] in about two days, binging them nonstop because I thought they were both fantastic. The game mechanics, storylines, characters, everything. Then along came [i]Infinite[/i]. Over the years, there had definitely been a divide among fans I'd found on whether or not this is a good game. Some people insisted and swore this one was the best in the entire series, while others argued it barely felt it lived up to the [i]Bioshock[/i] name. Personally, I'm in the middle. It's fun, but for some reason it just doesn't feel like a part of the series. Some people say it's because it's set in the sky, not in Rapture but I'm not sure what it is. No matter what, it's worth a play for sure.

great game, played after bioshock 1&2, is really a separate story, but loosely linked in the mulit-verse. love all three games, just wish the IP was not abandoned.

Incredibly rewarding gameplay and story.

Its a Bioshock game so its great. In particular its beautiful to look at and has a great story. I didnt find it as atmospheric and overall satisfying as the earlier games, but thats just me. The DLC were a bit disappointing. Burial at Sea episode 1 started great but quickly came to a nonsensical ending. Episode 2 crashed an hour in and bricked my installation. So I uninstalled and can't see myself coming back. Will definitely play BS1, 2 and Minerva again.

I'm not a fan of this game. In terms of gameplay it takes many steps back from the previous two. It only allows you to have two weapons at a time in the base game, unlike the previous BioShock games that allow you to have the entire arsenal at one time. For me this disincentivized me from trying new weapons. Apparently the DLC, Burial at Sea, implemented a weapon wheel but unless I missed something, there was no tutorial or tooltip in-game to show this and I only learned about it after I'd already given up on playing it and checked the Wikipedia page. Infinite also removes manual saving, which is stupid. Having an autosave feature is great, 1 and 2 did also. Removing the manual saving entirely to only have autosaves is not. In one of the longest sections of the game, I got stuck on some geometry and couldn't move or escape. The last autosave was thirty minutes before, so I had to redo thirty minutes worth of play. If the game had manual saving that still could have happened, but it would have been my fault and that would have been better than being screwed over by the game. Infinite also has no in-game map which annoyed me immensely, I like combing over these games and doing everything I can, but not having a map made it way easier to miss things. In terms of the story, without getting into spoilers too much it goes for a multiverse story which quickly becomes convoluted. It plays both the authoritarian, racist government and the resistance to said government as both equally evil and has the resistance do some awful things for next to no reason, which left a bad taste in my mouth. There's also a huge twist at the end of the game that I felt made no sense logistically. Overall, Infinite is my least favorite game in the series. I don't know the history of its development so I don't know if this is the case or not, but to me it feels like the devs were cooking up a game that wasn't in the BioShock series only for the higher-ups to force them to include some references at the end and in the DLC and slap on the BioShock name for marketing. Before playing Infinite I was interested to see what a potential BioShock 4 might be like, but now I have no hope for it.

dammit, 2K, your f***ing difficulty spike got me again! and on the final fight too. (I nearly completed BShock Infinite on the XBOX 360, THEN!) it also isn't an immersive sim, but Bs Infinite is that way to prove a point. though combat does boil down to cod-style run'n'gun rather than "no player plays the same, no encounter is the same" which is part of the reason why the mandatory take-two interactive difficulty spike got me so bad. I was so used to spamming bullet shield and dying when i couldn't and the songbird recharged in an hour, and the generator always exploded before i could kill the last and WHO DESIGNED THIS?!

i played it for the first time 10 years ago. it is the game that made my cry like no other. and i am usually not particularly sentimental. i think it is absolutely brilliant. i think nothing compares.

Interesting levels, stunning art design, and engaging gunplay and abilities, all wasted on a story with absolutely nothing to say. The beginning sets powerful themes of American exceptionalism, racism, and evangelical religion, and then quickly abandons any meaningful commentary in favor of yet another thin multiverse story. The very beginning of the game is visually interesting, atmospheric, and compelling, and what follows in the story is - in the most detailed way I can convey - complete and absolute drek.

Great story. A bit confusing, but I love it

I never finished this game but I did watch gameplays online and I know the story and everything; I never played or watched gameplays of the other Bioshock games but this one takes the cake for me

Tonally very different to the first two games, but overall easier to follow and game play functions better. Troy Baker kills it every time.

Well shit... that ending gave me full-body goosebumps for an entire minute. What a great game, honestly.

This game is extremely under rated in my opinion and deserves more clarity because of its very intriguing and fun story element, Combat, and Beautiful bright and high contrast visuals (which is a far contrast from the previous games) although i do have one problem with it about how it is a outlier from the previous games and should just be its own standalone game. 8/10 game

This game absolutely killed me in every way, no happy ending, in the end it just repeats like nothing ever happened. the story is really a mind fuck, other than the ending this game looks and plays fucking excellent

This was one of - if not the first - "real" video games I'd ever played, and it completely blew me away. The story sucked me in completely. The world was vibrant and stunning. I remember installing this on my school-issued macbook pro and using the default settings, but it was still breathtaking and completely transported me to another world. If I could go back and experience it again for the first time, I would.

great story, deep philosophical implications for a game, good balance

The graphics were great but it's very forgettable.

Man the ending was so good. I was in shock for a solid 5 minutes. Everyone should play this game.

This game left an impact on me on it's original release in 2013 and well over a decade later it's storytelling and characters continue to resonate with me. Bioshock Infinite will always be within my top 5 of all time. Genuinely no other game like it.

I have complex feels about this game. I love Booker and Elizabeth, they a really good dynamic, game play is fine, its nothing new, i like the skylines but i wish they had them more but that preference. looks wise, it aged well. the graphics are pretty good. its not all that glitchy like a lot of older games ported to computer do. but is this a Bioshock game? well yes, its in the title but it doesn't feel like one, even its dlc that takes place in rapture doesn't feel like a Bioshock game. its sort of a weird shift for the games to take, like slugs in little girls lighting from your hands aren't exactly realistic but Elizabeth and her powers feels more like magic then sci-fi. i find the reason behind why she can do what she can is so sort of just silly and not really all the grounded compared to the other games. not mention i am so utter butt hurt over the fact the whole vibe is off, theirs only one area that has the same unnerving nature as the first time, wheres the ominous nature of the place. i should be looking at the place and noping out of the place. but Columbia is just boring. its a city in civil war, cool, anything else? no? wheres the true horrors of civil war, wheres monsters made and mutated freaks on Adam. that be said, i do enjoy playing the game. and if it wasn't a "bioshock" game i wouldn't be ranting like a loon. so as a fps with enjoyable game play and a well written story (just not written for bioshock) its a good game and i recommend it, but if want this game before you want another bioshock game then i'm afraid this isn't for you

BioShock Infinite completely blew me away. The world of Columbia is gorgeous and eerie at the same time, and the story kept me hooked from start to finish. Booker and Elizabeth felt so real, and the way the game mixes action with deeper themes is just brilliant. The ending? Mind-blowing. Honestly, one of the best games I’ve ever played.

1. This game = Atmospheric Graphics + Mind-binding Sci-fi Story + 1st person (POV) + some stealth gameplay + Super powers. 2. This game also have 3 dlcs = 1st is a challenge run dlc, the last two are episodic dlcs where part 1 is short (2 to 3 hours) and part 2 longer than expected ( less than 8 hours) 3. This game also has a new game plus mode called = 1999 mode which is unlocked after completing the main story. (not played on this mode) 4. This game takes less than 25 hours to complete (main story + side + 2 episodic dlcs) (on medium difficulty) 5. Definitely play the episodic dlcs as they are very good. 6. The Story of Bioshock universe are very great but can get difficult to follow for new players, so just watch the youtube video explaining it but only after you finish the main story and the dlcs. 7. Definitely A Must Play game. 8. For me this game was =9.5/10. 9. 100% Recommended.

It's fun to explore the game's amazing steampunk setting, the 2 protagonists also get a lot more characterisation, unlike previous Bioshock games. But there are still some issues, like the game being somewhat linear, only limiting the play to 2 weapons and the story going a bit off the rails towards the end. The DLC provides a satisfying conclusion to the big story though.

This was the first Bioshock game I played and I absolutely loved it. The abilities in the game were easy to understand and use, the story was great, I enjoyed every aspect of the game and will absolutely be playing the others.

this game is amazing and very very fun it has been an amazing experience playing it and is beautiful visually this is one of the best visually looking games ive ever played and had got amazing story so far and just overall is very nice
