Originally conceived as a floating symbol of American ideals at a time when the United States was emerging as a world power, Columbia is dispatched to distant shores with great fanfare by a captivated public. What begins as a brand new endeavor of hope turns drastically wrong as the city soon disappears into the clouds to whereabouts unknown. The player assumes the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the lost city to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned there since childhood. He develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities.

I enjoyed the game. The plot twists weren’t entirely unpredictable, but I really enjoyed the attention to detail, and the reflective foreshadowing is nearly perfect. It’s a well written story which appealed to my sci-fi sensibilities. The plot is well crafted for the interactive medium. Many games try to tell a cinematic story, ignoring the interactive elements. Bioshock Infinite successfully uses the agency the player is provided with to create and compelling narrative, and ensures that when our agency is removed, it is for good reason, and flows with the story. It’s an incredible example of how to create a narrative in which interaction is used as a true part of the story, rather than as a ludic crutch or gimmick. The first two Bioshock games did this as well, but neither quite as nicely as Infinite has done.I thought the mechanics of the game were among the best designed I’ve ever encountered. The weapon variety and scarcity was great, and though it occasionally annoyed, it was a really great choice to limit the player to two weapons at a time. It really made me think about which weapons I really needed, and it occasionally forced me to go long stretches without my preferred weapon, when I had to drop it, and use something else due to a lack of ammo. It took me out of my comfort zone for long stretches, and kept me searching. I kept a Carbine and a Sniper rifle for most of the game, but I once had to go for nearly an hour with a repeater and a hand cannon, fruitlessly sear.
Well how should I start this review…Well first let me clarify that I purchased the physical disk from retrolio…I only point this out because even with the disk it is still necessary to have steam installed (I personally don’t mind it but just wanted to point that out to those who do). Also I did have some trouble installing it on my computer ( I went into the disk and clicked on the install.exe and it displayed the error "Language not Selected" and was about to resort just to downloading the game from Steam’s servers (Which made me quite upset as I bought the disk so I wouldn’t have to download from the servers as my internet isn’t the best that there is) I solved this problem simply by restarting the computer (While the disk was still inside) and the problem got fixed right away. I installed the game from the three disks (Yes 3 disks) and got the game up and running in less than an hour.Now to the actual game (This review is coming from someone who hasn’t played the two previous games set in Rapture) I have never been a fan of FPS games because well…they’ve never really been my type of game…so when a few of my friends recommended that I should give this game a try, I simply said to myself really guys?…Well long story short I bought the game for $37 (since it was cheaper than steam haha) and I’m glad to say that I didSTORY: I start with the story as that (at least for me) is what makes a game mostly great and well the story while not trying to spoil anyth.
Yay Bioshock Infinite! Fans of the series had been waiting a few years for this title to come out, and it finally has hit us.I’ve waited to write a review for this for awhile now… because I wanted the hype to die down. So let me talk about the game real quick…Pros:+ Great Graphics+ Incredible Story / Atmosphere / Music+Solid FPS Mechanics+ Great Variety in Weapons / Tonics+ Solid length time.+ Good variety of enemies / maps.+ Elizebeth isn’t useless (Most AI partners are awful, and drag the expierence down.)+ Great PC PortCons- Mechanics are lost from the first reveal.- Upgrade system rewards money collection, rather than explorations- Weapon system doesn’t feel like "Bioshock"- PC Port is good, but has some odd configuration issues as a result of changes.I believe the pros are self explanatory… I’d rather talk about the cons. Anyone who followed this game, knows that this game was bizarrely delayed for almost two and a half years from its original release date. Rumors suggest that a lot of content had been reworked. This seems to be true, because before it seemed that Elizebeth tears were supposed to be more dynamic, where as now they are in pre-determined locations. Furthermore the skyhook system comes off as much more of a gimmick than an actual feature in this game.The upgrade system is vastly superior in the original Bioshocks (In my opinion.) In the original series you were rewarded for completing extra puzzles, by getting upgrades. In this, everything is.
I probably don’t need to tell you that this game is good, 10/10 reviews from every major game site already illustrate that. However, what I can say is that upon finishing it, I felt sorry for my friends who lacked the time, inclination, or skill to play video games. They would never experience the masterpiece of sci-fi story-telling and world creation that is Bioshock Infinite.Bioshock Infinite is a classic. It may not be to the tastes of all gamers, but if you are among the small minority of gamers who find it off-putting, wouldn’t you still rather have a first hand experience with a game that will be talked about for many years to come? If you consider yourself a gamer you owe it to yourself to play this game, at least in order to better understand the boundaries of what is being done with the medium.
Bioshock Infinite is, for a lack of a better term, a very good game that is held down because of the lofty expectations brought forward by Bioshock 1, 2, and the Minerva’s Den DLC. It was worth my time, and it should be worth yours, but there is little in my mind that will elevate it towards the deity tier of gaming titles. If it came out a few years ago it would have probably received a 5/5 instead of the 4 I gave it.PROS+Graphics. This game is absolutely beautiful. The art is nice, the atmosphere and scenes are gorgeous, and the backgrounds are amazing. I stood in Columbia just watching the different islands float around many times simply because it was very fun to enjoy and soak in.+Music. There are many haunting yet effective tracks in this game that tie the story and timeline together nicely. Once you finish the game, a lot of the songs and their placement should mean much more to you. With that being said…+Replayability. Once you finish the game and understand the full impact of what just happened, there are some nice moments you should replay since you have new knowledge that will give it more meaning. This includes audiologs, music, conversations, and things written on the walls of back alleys.+Characters. Nothing bad to say about the people you meet. Booker is deep and troubled, Elizabeth is gorgeous and rambunctious, and Comstock is twisted and delusional. Even the people you meet on the streets are enjoyable and add to the overall mood the game is trying to conve.
3/4 of way through game now. No glitches that I notice other than Elizabeth occasionally floating, but it’s so infrequent that I pay no mind to it. Runs great on my PC which has 8GB ram, solid state hard drive, quad processor. Have only had very little problems with lag in the game. The story, sounds, world, everything, it’s amazing. Elizabeth’s AI makes me feel like I’m taking this adventure with another living person. Can she see me through the TV screen? She’s that real.I’m not a FPS person. I don’t like FPS games. I suck at aiming. But this game I love. I don’t know why, but I LOVE it.INTERNET WARNING: don’t have internet? Don’t buy this PC game. It requires that you download steam and have a Steam account, which requires internet. When you install the game your game registration code that comes with your copy will be permanently linked to your Steam account, so don’t lose your Steam Account information. You must be able to log in with your Steam account to play the game.If the internet thing is no problem for you, then I absolutely recommend this game. Thinking back, I don’t think there was a moment in this game that I did not enjoy. Except maybe that it’s odd that you can find more money in trash cans than in purses. Haha!
I got this after I downloaded the demo of an earlier BioShock game from Steam. I liked the looks of that and so took a chance. Anyway, I got it and activated it on Steam and fooled around with it a bit. I’m still at the start of it but it’s one I can get into. When I had to leave it, I was trying to figure out the first real puzzle and just hadn’t got very far yet. It play great on my system and ran great the first time right off the bat. This was a bit of a surprise as my Win 10 Pro system sometimes requires tweaks to get games to run OK. Anyway, I’m planning on getting back to this game and then we’ll see. So far I feel like I ‘ve got another winning here.
Yes, it is short. I played for 30 hours and I used a bit of that time to exploit a bug where I could raid the cash of a vending machine over and over.Graphics and story are great. Game is very linear and entails a lot of story telling. Mechanics are well introduced over time making it not too overwhelming at any given time. Interesting use of ‘steam punk’ type technology and references to Quantum Mechanics (which was just being explored in the early 1900’s). Yes, there are religious and racial overtones which I think are applicable for the timeframe and put the appropriate negative spot light on them as deserved, as are important events in US history. I used a controller while playing the game and I can’t imagine using anything different, but others say keyboard/mouse is the way to go, so perhaps we can just say the game works superbly either way.I really want to give 5 stars because I think this is a game every FPS gamer should experience. But, it is short and there’s little replay value after you’ve finished. For $60, it’s 4 stars from me.
The game setting and story are unique and wildly creative. But the all important gameplay felt like an afterthought. The vigors (plasmids) are less effective and less interesting. The levels have alot of backtracking through the same areas. The bosses are annoying, uncreative, and repetitive (especially one in particular).The long ending is much better than the brief cutscene choices from the original Bioshock. Even though I was not as surprised as much as others seemed to be.You can tell that this game underwent major story and gameplay changes during its long development, as it doesn’t all come together very neatly. The confusing "twist" feels added to cover up what was lacking.
This is the game of the year IMO. The story really drives the pace and game play more so than other FPSs. The story seems to be pretty rigid although the player gets to make a few choices. I had hoped for a bit more character development (i.e. stats to upgrade, etc.) but this is Bioshock so….One nagging feature I do take complaint with is the lack of a manual save; all saves are done by autosave. Therefore, without paying huge amounts of attention to the autosave icon, you can really miss when your game saves, quit, and lose large chuncks of game play.The controls were standard and easy to use on my laptop keyboard. The graphics were decent; not ground-braking, but pretty good. The game moves by fast, and if you’re an avid gamer, you may find yourself finishing up within one or two days of playing (12-20 hours game play depending on your style). I do wish there had been more length to the game, but its not too short. All in all, pick this game up and you’ll be pleased, if only for the narrative.
