The only problem here is that, while the mechanics are satisfying, they don’t feel all that inspired. The shooting mechanics are as solid as ever and there’s a strong arsenal at your disposal. While this may seem like a new experience, there are tropes that make Infinite feel very much like a Bioshock game in terms of gameplay. As she experiences new aspects to life, Elizabeth specifically will adapt and react differently as her persona grows ever so subtly throughout the story. For example, when Elizabeth witnesses her first gunfight, she’s so freaked out that she starts screaming and runs for her life. The performances by Elizabeth and the Lutece twins standout immensely, offering some of the most believable and charming characters in any game. While Booker feels somewhat two-dimensional for the majority of the story, there are a handful of colorful and lively characters that grace the game. There’s also an explanation for everyone, such as why you can jump insane distances and latch onto hooks, and why the city is able to fly in the first place. There’s a strange sense of racism that will make anyone uneasy at first but realize that’s just how this world operates. For one, the citizens are highly religious folk who somewhat deify the American founding fathers, while demonizing Abe Lincoln.
Bioshock infinite review full#
The world that has been created is absolutely gorgeous and full of depth. The game takes place in 1912 on the fictional floating city of Columbia where Booker DeWitt, the lead hero, is sent to rescue a young girl named Elizabeth to pay off his gambling debts.
You can’t talk about Bioshock Infinite without starting with the storyline. Can this revolutionize interactive storytelling in video games, or has this been a wasted effort?
A long development and constant delays have had fans around the world biting their nails in anticipation and concern, but they won’t have to wait any longer to see the outcome. It has been nearly six years since Irrational Games introduced arguably one of the most defining games of this generation into the market, and it looks like they’re doing it again.
