Tried to get too Fancy

Bioshock Infinite is a linear, story driven fps game unlike it's more open world predecessors. Because of that the story plays a big part of the game, and the story is where the greatest flaws are. The gameplay is good, but flawed thanks to a poor UI and proper explanation of the systems. I beat the dlc thinking that you could only use two weapons when there is a 'hidden' menu that allows you to switch between all of them. The fact that it is possible to miss something so important is unacceptable. The other major gameplay flaw is the save system which is check point based and largely out of your control. While the game is linear it allows you to backtrack to find extra stuff. The problem is that there isn't always a checkpoint when doing that and you face losing all of your progress. I found myself playing way longer than I wanted to trying to make sure I hit a checkpoint so I wouldn't lose my progress. This is bad design. The game is also a little unbalanced and throws you into practically unwinnable situations where you are so overwhelmed that you have no option but to die. Spoilers: The story aspect of the game is also flawed in that it seems the writers tried to get too fancy with time travel and stuff like that. The main driving force behind the story is a father trying to do right by his lost daughter. When he eventually finds her though there is no emotion whatsoever. The daughter reacts in kind and literally nothing is made of the fact that they both finally found each other. To make matters worse the daughter ends up killing her own father in order to 'fix' things, and she seems to relish it. In the DLC the daughter sacrifices herself for some little girl that no one knows anything about. She sacrifices herself even though the game presents her as some genius who has omniscience and time travel powers. It's clear they wanted to kill her off because they made her too powerful and needed some excuse.

Good game with sad story

So, I completed the game a few minutes ago and my impression - deep sad :( I'll try to avoid spoilers, so... If you want positive emotions at end the game - it's not right choice. Technically everything good with game. Only DLC have small issue with "Use" button, but it's not critical. 4/5 from me. -1 for too sad story without possibility to choose fate.

Very disappointing

I love System Shock, System Shock 2, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Prey, .. This game is nothing like those games. This is those games dumbed way down. This is a weak arena shooter - you go through one possible way, enter open area and then fight. Once you've killed all oposition, you can leave the arena, continue through only way possible, until you reach another arena. Combat is not worst as is supposed in combat-oriented game, but I still loved combat in other games better. There is only one part where you have more freedom of exploration, but it still only meant you need to find arenas to fight. Story starts strong, but later is watered down and ends in rather stupid way. The whole city is explained in a way that doesn't make any sense (yes, even less than impossible Rapture :) ). Graphics are not bad, but all characters look like bad caricatures. Don't even start about that railway gimmick. This should not even be named Bioshock.. this is Hard Reset: Columbia.

A bit deceived but Burial at sea chapter 2 managed to get me entertained

Working correctly on my computer, 0 crash, very few bugs, very few glitches. I finished Bioshock 1 and 2 some years ago. This Bioshock Infinite is interesting but 10 hours less wouldn't change the game, I was really bored at half game, and annoyed at 5th time Liz was abducted... This was clearly written by people not knowing much about writing an interesting story, and battles are chaotic : smoke, lights, enemies and so on everywhere... It didn't feel like playing Bioshock during main game, and clearly this was made to be played with a controller. The complexity of the story and the lack of clear explanation is just "WTF !" Then I played Burial at sea chapter 1 and 2 and I have to say things finally made sense, and it got me entertained enough to say this game is not bad, it is a good game which could be much better. I won't play it twice like I did with Bioshock 1 and 2, but maybe in a few months I will play Burial at sea chapter 2 once again to change my choices and see what happens, playing to this peculiar DLC is what I call playing to Bioshock.

not enough text to explain rough time

I have a lot of nostalgia for these bioshock games, so i played all the pc ports on gog here from start to finish(bioshock 1 rem, 2 remastered an infinite). I still love bioshock one an 2 aparrently, but I just couldnt seem to enjoy infinite this time around. whether its change in tatse or i just played too many games over the years. like wise some good an bad, really mixed opinion here. I already know the story, after all this time i remember it start to finish because i used to play this game constant, but way back when i played this game on 360 with a controller. here it now on pc with keyboard an mouse support. the controls are perfect, i have no issues mapping functions, no issues with mouse, aiming is smooth as well. graphics are still great to look at, decent world design, alot of immersion breaks if you are revisiting the game however, i don't want to spoil the story so i will try to avoid some bits. best immersion breaking example i can give is the plasmids in the burial at sea retconn dlc is replaced with salts from the base game, all the gameplay is copy an paste. game has way too much dialog, dont mean that in the sense they talk too much. it's that the game forces you to wait for the tag along Elizabeth to finish talking before the game proceeds in any direction. once or twice in an hour is fine. Bioshock one an two had some areas. but those were spread out, here in infinite i found myself getting up to take a leak, do some pushups, or get a sandwhich while i listen for elizabeth to finish a five minute rant how she doesnt like her father. Elizabeth nearly is as bad as Ashley Grahm from re4, i find myself sruglinf to pick up items or weapons in a pinch only to be interrupted by her button prompts to give me something i didnt wantr in the first place, which wouldnt be an issue if it didnt override the function to pickup weapons an everything else in the game(i go to pick up a gun *Elizabeth*; booker a penny!). that not enough she always in your way.
