Played this when i was 14 and liked it. Played it again now and it kinda blows. Looks beautiful and the Design is great, but the combat is pretty boring, especially after playing 1 &2. Liked the Story when i was 14, but it kinda falls apart playing it again. The DLC's also look great, but feel incredibly pointless to me. Episode 2 is fun for a bit until the novelty wears off and then it just answers Questions nobody …

Bioshock infinite is one of my favorite games of all time, The story is beautiful, the game is beautiful, its in general just a masterpiece. I remember when i was about 5 or 6 years old, i would play this game with my brother because we loved Bioshock as a whole and we would take turns on the Xbox controller just playing through the entire campaign. I was never fully able to finish the game with him because he …

Wow, couldnt have loved it more. Columbia is easily one of the most beautiful places I've ever explored in a game, and I loved just taking my time to soak it all in. The gameplay was a blast, but the story and the bond between Booker and Elizabeth are what really made this unforgettable. That ending left me completely speechless. I genuinely didn't know whether to smile or just sit there in disbelief, and I was …

Years ago, this game was almost universally praised, but objectively, it is closer to 'good but flawed'. Pros: Art direction and world design: the floating city is gorgeous, colorful, and unique. Its retro-futurism also stands out: airships, automatons, and floating architecture - technologies that feel like a fantastical extension of early 20th-century inventions. It's fair to call it one of the most visually …

oh boy, he we go, im recommending this game because it's a good game BUT as a BioShock not that good, by far it's the worst in the series, such a wasted potential, so much ideas but looks unfinished, they lost some hand on the scritp, a lot of loose ends that makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense and that horrible ending that try to be '' abosolut cinema'' feeling but it's just pathetic, once before it was a game for exploration, …

neutral · AI labelView post →Has any “prestige” game aged worse than Bioshock Infinite? I’m watching Giant Bomb’s ending spoiler cast from 2014 and it seems like they were the only ones I remember being very put off by how inconsistent and up its own ass it was.
negative · AI labelView post →It was a smart and brave decision for Valve to take the skyrail system from Bioshock Infinite and put it into an actually good game
neutral · AI labelView post →Starting Bioshock Infinite today completely blind and have high expectations, this is THE game that people were hyping up. I remember this blowing up review scores back in the day and it was everywhere. Now it's MY turn to play and see it for myself.
positive · AI labelView post →Time to bless your BlueSky feeds with my favorite game. The art direction of Bioshock Infinite aged like fine wine. It’s truly one of the best looking games of all time.
positive · AI labelView post →the politics of Bioshock Infinite are hard to take seriously in any capacity because it's a game that is factually stitched together and booted out the door within a year or two. Daisy goes insane because it's the end of the second act, just like how Danerys did.

We're likely gonna boot the original up too!
positive · AI labelView post →Playing Bioshock Infinite now and it's a game I'm very curious what people who play it now think of it, cause I remember them showing it off for YEARS before it finally came out and so much of the stuff they showed never makes it into the final game

positive · AI labelView post →I feel the exact same way about the inverse happening to Bioshock Infinite. I hated that game on release and remember basically every one of my friends telling me I was being needlessly and unfairly harsh calling it racist and now history has finally vindicated me
negative · AI labelView post →"But Leaf, Bioshock Infinite sucks the big one" Listen I got thoughts. I got thoughts. But Elizabeth isn't a bad part of the game. She's, dare I say, one of the better parts.

neutral · AI labelView post →do find Bioshock: Infinite to be a fascinating game to look at as a failure—because part of it really wants to be a political game (that’s afraid of politics), part of it wants to be a multiverse story (that’s limited in its multiverses), and part of it seems a harbinger for the “sad dad” game genre

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my deepest emotional connections to the game BioShock Infinite, is Elizabeth's admonition that you spent 20 years in that room. I spent a decade. Please don't be me.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Pat playing Bioshock Infinite, and I remember Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation giving pretty good praises and this is the game he personally picked for his game of the year at that time? lul
neutral · AI labelView post →Similarly did BioShock Infinite have a take on race so incoherent that it veered into offensive? Sure. But I still found it to be a fun game and it has one of the wildest plot twists in storytelling history
neutral · AI labelView post →You didn't say "shoot Nazis (or fascists)" in shooter games specifically, so I'm going to interpret your question broadly. In *BioShock Infinite* (story-heavy shooter game with some RPG elements), the main villain is some turbo-racist Nazi who runs his own "utopia." The prior releases in the series have you facing objectivist villains, which I guess is Nazi-adjacent. In the *Jagged Alliance* series (a turn-based strategy game), you control a small band of mercenaries fighting a totalitarian…

negative · AI labelView post →Honest question here: What video game has included that before? You could stretch and say Bioshock Infinite but then they screwed it up by portraying the people fighting back as just as bad.
neutral · AI labelView post →I felt pretty validated when it happened to Bioshock Infinite. That game sucks.
negative · AI labelView post →I don't like Bioshock 1. I've tried it 800 times and it just never sticks. I bought this on sale forever ago, fully expecting that I wouldn't like it, thinking maybe I'd refund it after giving it a shot. Instead, I sat there and beat the game in one sitting. I could not stop. I was so invested in the setting, and there was something interesting around every corner. I'm a healthier gamer these days, but I'll always remember my irresponsible binge session with this one. The first 20 minutes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know that some people are still bitter about the Bioshock Infinite we could have gotten. Those criticisms are valid as a matter of opinion, but after this recent replay, I firmly believe that much of the audience was, and still is, far too hard on this game. It's brilliant, cerebral, and has aged very well. It's not perfect, but it's still my favorite Bioshock game. I only have two real criticisms, one big and one small. But first, some praise. The presentation is wonderful. The art style is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m playing through Bioshock: Infinite and this could be in-game art from the series. Also, you could swap in any Stephen Miller rant for a Comstock voice clip from the game and it wouldn’t be out of place
neutral · AI labelView post →Great story. If you're wondering whether it is still worth it 10+ years after the release the answer is yes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I still feel shame for wondering if all the early game brutal & uncritiqued anti-Black racism was gonna pan out in BioShock Infinite I should have known it WOULD NOT
negative · AI labelView post →How beautiful is Bioshock Infinite. I’m beyond excited to experience this game again!
positive · AI labelView post →*Bioshock Infinite*. I wouldn't call it *bad*, but it gets a bad rep for not being the game that Bioshock superfans wanted. I hadn't been infected by the immersive sim brain worm when I played it and didn't judge games based on their box-stacking mechanics, nor did I care about how it fit into the lineage of \*shock games. Evaluated on its own, It was a fair shooter with great visual style and okay story. There are other cheap shot meme games that I enjoyed for how bad they were, like *Mystery…
neutral · AI labelView post →An absolute masterpiece. My favorite. One of a kind. When I finished this game for the first time, back in 2018, I was left with countless questions and emotions. The narrative is so dramatic and well written that it could easily compete with best-selling books on the New York Times list. It unfolds like a puzzle you slowly piece together throughout the game. Allegories and metaphors are everywhere, encouraging you to think and analyze not just shoot. Female characters rarely get meaningful…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For which year? After the few Assassins Creed games, they were similar in gameplay, so not really worthy of GOTY for most. Not every good or popular game can win an award. The best chance of winning could have II, Brotherhood or Black Flag. I've looked at best rated games of the year for those games on Metacritic (I could not find a way to sort lists on OpenCritic). Assassins Creed 2 (2009) - 90: * Uncharted 2 - 96 * Call of Duty Modern Warfare - 94 * GTA China Town - 93 Assassins Creed…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my dad pirated this game when i was a kid and i watched him play the whole series i didn't catch much of the story i think up to this review i played each game at least twice
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Control is nowhere near as a bad as this, I liked it even, but this point reminds of Bioshock Infinite, where it wanted an amazing setting but had absolutely no clue how to make a game that fit it. It has the most jarring "now it's a shooter, okay back to the world that never noticed the massacre"
negative · AI labelView post →I really wish there was a "recommend to certain people" button. Edited for spoilers. I've got my issues with Infinite. It was my introduction to the Bioshock series as a whole, after beating it I went back and played 1 and 2. As a standalone game, I'd recommend it. There'll be spoilers ahead. However, if you've played either Bioshock, Bioshock 2, or both, I can't. They did nail the aesthetics. It looks very pretty. I see the concept they went for... until you hop into a tear in reality to…

neutral · AI labelView post →BioShock Infinite still blows my mind. I first played it 12 years ago, and replaying it now reminded me why it stuck with me all this time. The story is on another level: bold, clever, and unforgettable. The gameplay holds up too: solid, challenging, and consistently fun. Absolute must-play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Game] Bioshock Infinite. Probably the most well known game in steampunk genre. Story is set in 1912 and takes place in a floating steampunk city-state in the sky called "Columbia".

neutral · AI labelView post →When I got into serious big boy gaming and built my first PC around 2013, my first GPU came with 2 free games, Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider 2013. Bioshock Infinite was the first game I played on the first desktop PC I built. It is thus my favorite Bioshock game and has special memories for me.

negative · AI labelView post →BioShock Infinite will always remind me why video games are art. I've played this game for the first time long time ago back when I was still just a dumb teenager. I returned to it after all this years and the amount of nostalgia just killed me. Literally. The opening sequence makes me feel so emotional. When I heard the beautiful choir singing "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" after landing in Columbia, tears started to flow down my cheeks. I just froze in place for good 15 minutes remembering…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a war game but it reminds me of Bioshock Infinite which I think wanted to say something but it wasn't sure what it was that it wanted to say.
negative · AI labelView post →I don't know whether I should be surprised at a new Bioshock review, but I am. I replayed BioShock Infinite a few months back and thought how cool it would be to have Fallout 4-like building available. The floating platforms would be perfect, and the roller coaster tracks. That would be a blast.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh man, it's hard to look at Bioshock: Infinite solely as a game, because it certainly gives out levels of utmost mastercraft when it comes to storytelling and overall gameplay experience. The third installment in the Bioshock universe is certainly something else, not necessarily amazing, but definitely different compared to your generic FPS. The game starts of as a standard get-the-girl-save-the-day type of game where you play as, what we're made to believe, a hardened war veteran, looking to…
