Godamn I forgot how racist the enemy faction was in this game. XD Wouldn't be a BioShock title without political commentary.

GOOD

best atmosphere

I absolutely love Bioshock and Bioshock 2 and recently replayed them. Then I tried Bioshock Infinite and really struggled. In the end I quit playing quite early on in the game. The combat isn't fun, you can't choose when to heal like in the previous games, the weapons are lacklustre, and the world in the sky isn't fun to navigate. There's also side quests to return to areas you've been before, but god know how you navigate back to them.

Maybe it gets better? But I quit through boredom and frustration. Clearly the majority of people do love this game.

Anyone who loves the first two Bioshock games should just keep in mind this is a VERY different experience.

I was able to delude myself into thinking this game was meaningful when it came out. I was wrong. This is a sub-par shooter with an incoherent and self-important plot stapled to it, along with worse visual design than the original two bioshocks. Thank god I was a child when I played this, because if I'd been any older, I would have walked away at best enraged, and at worst genuinely saddened that people wasted their lives on such a pointless mess.

Disappointed compared to the first part of Bioshock. At first glance, the game makes an impression, but then the plot and combat system become boring, the plot has a lot of gross holes, the ending is the same as in the old popular movie of 2004 on about the same topic as the plot of the game, only for the plot of the game the ending is far-fetched and does not fit from a logical point of view. Intuitively, nothing in the gameplay is clear, for an hour I could not understand where to go from the first location. In the objectives there is an inscription "find a girl" and a sculpture is drawn. I thought that I needed to find a girl near this sculpture, but it turned out that I needed to do something completely different. I do not have time to try to be Vanga and guess what the game designer wanted, this is a linear game, there are no options for passing, so sorting through options seems like a waste of time. Game design, level design, structuring are very bad here. I got stuck in textures several times - this did not happen in the first part of Bioshock. There are a lot of boxes and they look like they contain items, but in fact they are not interactive boxes at all. The combat system is very boring compared to the first part, shooting turns into just shooting at targets. The world is not as atmospheric as in the first part. There are a lot of unnecessary characters in the game, and as an introvert I feel very uncomfortable, I want to go somewhere to the side where there are no NPCs. There are also glitches when NPCs disappear from sight. Elizabeth often disappeared and I got ammunition from an empty corner. Resource machines, although animated, look very dull. The machine without animation from the first Bioshock is much more memorable. The main character is similar to Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein, there is nothing wrong with that, but the same archetype from game to game is too much. The African-American rebel is similar to the African-American rebel also from Wolfenstein - only in Wolfenstein the character is much better developed and much more memorable. They also let me down with the lack of a map and navigation. For example, I've never been to the Hall of Heroes in my life, so I thought it was one room, but it turned out to be a whole location. For about 40 minutes I couldn't figure out where to go, the objectives indicated "Hall of Heroes", I had already been to the Hall of Heroes, but it was not the location I needed to go to. I couldn't get through the ending, I can't protect the ship at the lowest level (I'm playing with a steam deck). I just watched the ending on YouTube.

i play this dumb flying train game and it’s garbage. story make no sense, like a bad fever dream. pink lady and blue dude, who cares? i want action not confusing crap.

enemies shoot like maniacs, i hide and still get blasted. this game is out to kill me, i swear it’s trying. glitchy floor tried to swallow me whole, game wants me DEAD.

guns feel useless, like throwing wet socks. i press buttons, nothing happens. waste of time and brain cells.

if you like wasting hours getting your ass kicked by invisible traps and dumb puzzles, go play this hell. i’d rather fight a bear with my bare hands.

FINAL SCORE: -1000 out of 10, i hate this game and want to throw my TV out the window

Dishonored plus Wolfenstein 2009 with a feminist coded, pretentious story that takes the occasional break from gameplay to talk down to the player despite the fact it was written over one weekend by a team of Avengers Endgame loving idiot stoners as they had a Back To The Future marathon.

Upon my second playthrough of this game, I actually found the story to be much less grating than i originally thought. Maybe this is because im maturing as a person and have become too laid back to nitpick? Probably not.
It is more likely that, having just played through Bioshock 2, I now have something else Bioshock related to compare with other than Bioshock itself. So, the minor annoyances in Bioshock Infinite seem like absolutely nothing compared to the rage inducing constant idiotic dialogue of Bioshock 2. It is really just the overall storytelling logic/ending of the game now that i focus on as being bad. Is the entire premise of the game being justified by "scientific magic dont ask questions" really good writing? i guess you can decide that for yourself.
Another thing which you can compare from this game to Bioshock 2 is the VERY SUBTLE SUBTEXT OF SEXISM AND RACISM IM PUTTING THIS PART IN CAPS BECAUSE THOSE PARTS OF THE GAME WERE SO SUBTLE I BARELY EVEN NOTICED THEM OH YES. In Bioshock 2 these themes were about as subtle as a cheese grating block loaded with dynamite shoved up your pee hole where the characters would go "YOU ARE RACIST AND RACISM IS BAD!" or "YOU ARE A MAN AND MEN ARE BAD!". However, in Bioshock Infinite its more like "Racism exists yknow" and "Women are smart and capable too yknow" which normally in games i find irritating and pointless but knowing how they stepped down from pounding the podium with their fist in the previous game, its actually kind of endearing now to see them course correct in this way. Maybe in the next Bioshock game theyll stop needlessly injecting any amount of their legitimate world view and just concentrate on good writing? Just a thought. lol

Now lets talk about the gameplay:
The pc version has a constant stutter during campaign that doesnt exist in the console versions, no idea why this is but its actually kind of annoying even for me, a person who plays old pixelated horribly performing retro games and barely notices. Performance obsessives would absolutely shut this game off immediately. Also the advanced lighting effects look good maybe twice in cutscenes and at all other times look awful with shafts of lights cutting through solid objects or blocking half of your field of view.

If you can get past that, then the next biggest issue is your character getting stuck on every corner, floor, wall, piece of cover, and even the air itself due to horribly unpolished game environments. Even if you look past the polishing, they are just plainly not as interesting as the combat areas of the last two games. The skyhooking (not to be confused with prostitution on an airplane) is interesting but very gimmicky and you never really find yourself using it to gain an advantage in combat instead opting to use it only when forced to, to traverse the game world.
The gunplay is very fun and the arsenal of weapons is pretty sweet even if some of the guns are just weird versions of another gun.
The Vigors on the other hand are a mixed bag, with some being useful and others gathering dust in the back corner of your ass (or wherever Booker stores them, not too sure). Some of the Vigors make you temporarily invincible, regenerate your shield, annihilate your target and his three friends, light every enemy in the same zipcode as you on fire, and retroactively make Booker a cool guy in highschool. Then other Vigors just move an enemy over to you....thats it? Yeah i guess thats it. Many of the Vigors are temperamental and dont like to work if theres an object near you or in front of you or a sparrow is farting somewhere on planet earth but normally you can switch to another that has a marginally similar effect for different situations.
The difficulty of the game on normal is too easy and with the dlc that gives you in-game buffs it practically plays itself, so youll probably want to play this game on hard. I dont really know what happens when you play the game on easy, they probably just ship you a diaper in the mail and refund your purchase.

One thing i would like to comment on is the fanbase of this game and how the developers seem cynically aware of their supposed interests.
Stop trying to appeal to the fetishistic minds of internet addicted adult manchildren who post on deviantart and think access to pornography is a basic human right with your creepy Last of Us style daddy daughter relationships. You did it in Bioshock 2 and repeated it again in this game. I dont know if youre trying to get people to cosplay, buy merch, make fan art or what, but stop doing it. It comes off as hypocritical when youre announcing that "females are capable and intelligent humans too" one second and the next second its "what choker should i wear Daddy?" and "oh no my clothes are ripped up i better change into my bustier". Not to mention in both games there is basically a giant physical sign that says "dont forget this character is barely legal". Insanely cringe and questionable! What the actual ♥♥♥♥. Stop.
Dont think this is some sort of fringe opinion that i downloaded from an ultra-conservative 4chan forum posting or something, the people who the developers were trying to appeal to with these decisions are real. I challenge you to go to any gaming forum or Bioshock forum anywhere on the internet and say you think Elizabeth Comstock is fugly then watch as you are inundated with the most hateful, unhinged rantings from the saddest creeps in the world. Legitimately do this.

Anyway, this game is actually quite fun despite its myriad of problems but i find any person who seems too quick to glaze this game as "amazing" or "perfect" suspicious.

I hate this game. It's BioShock 2, but worse. In 2 we explored why total collectivism is restrictive and annoying to most people, even those that hate total individualism. In Infinite we explore why racism is bad in the least nuanced way possible. In 2 you have a choice between harvesting Little Sisters and rescuing them. This actually ends up mattering. In Infinite, you get choices that tease you, make you wonder if something is going to happen, and then nothing happens. Heads or Tails. Only Elizabeth has any agency here, so why is the player character Booker DeWitt?
