"Booker are you afraid of god?" "No, but I'm afraid of you."So today I'm going to start with Bioshock Infinte a game i'm sure you've heard so much about, I know it came out quite a while ago and I've only just recently played but if you haven't played it and you like good games with confusing storylines, go pick this up, it's worth ever cent.
So what makes this game so good? Why does everything give it a 10/10? Why don't I? Well to start off Bioshock Infinite is a story that takes plce in 1912 about a man named Booker Dewitt who has some sort of debt to someone or some people and to pay that debt off you have to bring them a girl named Elizabeth, Simple Enough. Kind of like Bioshock 1 and 2 you start out at a Lighthouse and you're going to a city with an oddity, as Rapture was underwater, Columbia in Bioshock Infinte is flying, but this time, there's people and not just spookers. Once you reach this flying city you find out about the city's leader, a "prophet" seeing the future and saying the words of god. You soon find out that he's gone mad with power and the girl you came to find, he's imprisoned in a giant angel tower protected by a giant robot bird thing. Yes a giant Robot Bird Thing. About a half hourto an hour into the game you discover this city's dark side, everybody is terribly racist, like you can tell this takes place in 1912, most of the audio logs you will hear in the game will make you sick, while other things like statues and and paintings of John Wilkes Booth keep you uneasy, there's also paintings of Abraham Lincol with devil horns. While it made me feel terrible it was still a really nice part of the game, in a different perspective about time and all that, and that's a reoccurring thing of this game, time and perspective. This games replay value is through the roof if you ask me, once you beat the game and find out about what the hell is going on, you almost can't help but trying the game again on the hardest difficulty and hearing all you heard again and getting all the messages and the symbolism, its truly one of the best written games i've ever played, the voice acting is mostly flawless, the easter eggs are all fun to find, The difficulty is good at about hard and above, in my opinion easy and medium are too easy. This game gets the feeling of Bioshock so right even though the game is different in a lot of different ways, such as the crazy backtracking, and the audio logs, while its not as spooky as the others, Infinite has its moments. One of the problems I had with this game was, in the end Elizabeth turned out being the only really fleshed out character, which is disappointing, I liked Booker and his role in the story, but he gets washed away by Elizabeth. Speaking about Elizabeth, her AI is really something to take note on, shes always looking at something, or interracting with the environment in one way or another which was cool, she was always giving me ammo, health mana, and money whenever I needed it........ sometimes........ shes not good at prioritizing. With the New DLC coming out soon, i can't wait to pick this game up again (as if i wasn't going to) and get more out of this amazing story.
So all and all I really wish I could give this game a 10/10 but in all honesty, with its couple problems, I'm going to give it a 9/10 if not a 9.5/10. That doesn't mean anything, It's still the best game I've played in a very long time and in my opinion, not owning it is a crime. Not to mention the Soundtrack is amazing and uses carefully seleceted songs to fit the game.
Here's the trailer if you're interested, this game has had like a million trailers, but i choose this one because I like it the most. Bioshock Infinite Trailer
