Generic game elevated by hype.

Let's get this straight. Bioshock Infinite is not a bad game but it is no way the gaming equivalent of the second coming of Christ that most gaming media made it out to be. Indeed outside the presence of plasmids there seams to be very little of Bioshock. The gameplay is ok, the visuals are ok, the characters are ok, story has more plot holes than a Swiss cheese and seams to change rules and plot points on a whim. The game is just ok and after the first "wow" moment when looking at the art design you will come to play a generic FPS (regenerating shield and two weapon slots included).

At last DRM-Free

Bioshock Infinite It's Beautiful. With slow (very slow) story, practicaly predecible until you know the true of the charaters, after that Its stunning. The gamplay it's basic, but enjoyable. Kill all the enemies, move, kill, move.It's a Good Old Game.

Exploited grave issues for a magic trick

I wish I can say more but the character limit is going to prevent me from doing so. So here's a summary. Good: - Gorgeous steampunk theme that's realized - Great graphics for its age - A few additional features from the first Bioshock such as Skylines and Elizabeth - Impressive scoring and overall production Bad: - A bit too easy (up until the last level) because the main character is kind of overpowered - Not being able to save anytime felt like a cheap way to create an illusion of difficulty - You can only carry two weapons - Most Vigor didn't seem useful and the equipment were frogettable Ugly: - Terrible ending that ruined a whole story arc - Reckless story on how it discusses genocide, racism, and using the narratives of war criminals Bioshock Infinite gave me the impression that it was all in with its storytelling. It was the main selling point even. It was depicting the many sins of America, showing misrepresentation of minorities that were reinforced by the racists of the past, and bringing up events like the Boxer Rebellion in China and the genocide of Native Americans. Not only that, it had all the big-money funding of a large gaming company to create a feast for the senses with functioning stable game mechanics. But all that led to a game that felt like it exploited complex issues in order to make a backdrop out of it for its cheap magic trick.

Confident and medicore

Bioshock Infinite is a game that desperately, desperately wants to believe it is saying something important. It seems to have been designed from the outset as a something that aspired to be greater and more meaningful than "just a game". And there are MOMENTS where it achieves this goal. This game has some of the greatest set pieces in gaming history, and some of the stuff you will SEE in the first-person happening around you in Columbia are draw-dropping, and couldn't be achived in any other medium. There is grand spectacle on display here. But as a game?? As a narrative?? As something that is trying to make some kind of profound statement. No, to all of these. From a narrative perspective, it's contrived time travel/alternate universe nonsense. From a gameplay persepctive, it's a below average shooter with bullet-sponge enemies. And from the perspective of confronting important subject matter, it appears to want to make a statement about a racist society, yet in the end does nothing but draw false equivelance between the oppressors and those who were oppressed, because it doesn't want to take a "side". Do I recommend playing Bioshock Infinite?? Without question (especially if it's on sale). There are awe-inspiring visual moments here, and more than a few genuinely disturbing ones. But this game is not the masterpiece it was made out to be. This is a game that is VERY high on it's own supply, but without alot of justification for it's own inflated ego.

You either love it or hate it

BI is one of my favorite games of all time, but it isn't perfect. If you don't get too bogged down in the multiverse and social commentary aspects the narrative is a deeply emotional and bittersweet tale of people dealing with their choices, destiny, personal relationships, morality, etc. There's a scene close to the end that just breaks me every time. (TL/DR at the bottom) The Good: Booker and Elizabeth's relationship is terrific, the voice acting is superb as well. The aesthetics are gorgeous due to the art style and the general visuals of columbia. And the music in numerous moments really brings the emotion to a climax. I also prefer Booker being voice acted as opposed to a silent protag. I also love the combat, as I may be an avid gamer but am also a casual in some perspectives. It isn't as diverse as B1 but the shooting is really fun and satisfying with plasmid powers mixed in. And while the ending battle is underwhelming, the gameplay stays consistently entertaining as opposed to B1 which really took a dive in the last quarter of the game. The Bad: I get why people think it's overrated. The larger world story has holes and issues (especially with the multiverse parts) that depending on what you care about can really bring down the game. And the implications of you murdering everyone is less justifiable than in B1 The gameplay is also much more linear and limited than B1 with less memorable moments and enemies (nothing is comparable in quailty to the Big Daddies). And Elizabeth is helpful but not anything special to gameplay as she doesn't integrate enough. It isn't an RPG it's an Arena shooter TL/DR: Overall Bioshock Infinite is a game like few others that equally is fun to play why engrossingly emotional and should be considered a gaming masterpiece. It's also simple in it's gameplay and has many plot issues compared to the original classic
