Bioshock Infinite Review

Today, I'm doing a review on a very popular title under the name of "Bioshock Infinite" following the story of Booker DeWitt, who needs to repay a gambling debt by traveling to Columbia, a zealous city in the sky, with dark secrets. So, does it's story accomplish what it sets out to do, which is similar to the original, teaching about Human revolution through Religion. The short answer is yes, very much so.

 

 

Story-

Bioshock Infinite's large expansive story takes place in the floating city of Columbia, as you -Booker DeWitt- attempt to get a young girl named Elizabeth out of the city, soon, the city begins to tumble to pieces as this New Eden falls from grace from Revolution. Infinite executes this perfectly, not a single doubt about that, the atmosphere begins as this beautiful heaven of a world, that you just die to explore, it descends into the original's dark and horrifying view, as you are locked in the two way war with Elizabeth. The end is executed with precision never before seen, and so many ties and tricks it is a subject of controversy, an ending done right. It has replay value unusual for a game this linear, as you feel inclined to go back to the action and story again. You even evolve to feel like Elizabeth's protector through the story, and feel an attachment to Elizabeth. She is hands down one of the best executed female characters ever. Booker is also interesting, as you feel pain when he feels it, and you relate to such a differentiating character. Troy Baker did an amazing job doing Booker as well.

 

Mechanics/Gameplay-

Bioshock takes some odd leaps in innovation when it comes to combat. You use vigors and salts, essentially the same as plasmids and eve from Bioshock one. Each does feel different from the last, and very useful in combat, though, you can see some are unbalanced. Weapons are unique, but you'll feel like using mainly two for the whole of the game. The skyhook is without a doubt the major innovation here. When you ride the skylines, it feels invigorating and exciting, as you slow and speed yourself up, even doing special executions with the skyhook. But, it feels like they cut this mechanic short for little reason, as, it appears rarely in the game. But when it does, it is some of the best this game has to offer.

 

Graphics-

Infinite pushes the limited of the near out-dated PS3 and Xbox 360, making beautiful scenery and characters. The animations on character's faces feel real. It's obvious a lot of time was spent on this department, as it is executed with near perfect accuracy, almost on par with a good PC.

 

 

Final Verdict-

My final verdict was an easy one to bring upon, as I enjoyed this game so much and I know you will too!

 

 

10/10!
