BioShock Infinite

Ken Levine is an amazing person. Once upon a time he revolutionized the perception of games with the help of SystemShock, many years later he surprised us with the noir fantasy shooter Bioshock, and here we go again. Amazing story, magnificent visual design and, of course, unrealistically charismatic characters. The experiences of growing up Elizabeth are only breathtaking, what can we say about the game as a whole... But in every barrel of honey there is a fly in the ointment. The gameplay is a little boring, even slightly reminiscent of mothballs. The need to search everything possible, and even more. And still, these disadvantages do not spoil the overall impression. My recommendation is to go through it, be sure to go through it, at least for the sake of the ending, which will 100% cause a “wow” effect in absolutely anyone.

In my opinion, the most valuable thing here is the visual style and lyrical plot, which can interest you in quantum physics. Moreover, the presentation of the plot through audio diaries and the shock ending force the player to think and build theories. It’s good that shooters now have such a feature as intellectualization, an invitation to co-creation, which has long been known in literature.

The direction and staging, the unity with the character are top notch. At some moments the immersion was so strong that I was afraid to approach the edge of the street hanging above the clouds, so as not to fall from there. The game knows how to evoke emotions. What hatred I felt for Fink and the townspeople when the unhappy interracial couple was wheeled onto the stage at the fair. The ball in his han… Read full

I really liked the first two parts of this game, and therefore, when I found out that the third part would take place not in Rapture, but in some kind of flying city, I was disappointed and did not expect anything very cool from the game. Everything changed after the first gameplay video, after which I began to look forward to the game. And here a minus immediately appears - the final version of the game was strikingly different from what was shown initially. A huge part of the game began to be occupied by religion, the city, and many aspects were changed. Nevertheless, I completed this part in one go, literally in 24 hours. I liked everything: the gameplay, the plot, the graphics and of course Elizabeth, who is the most important part of the game. Even the ending was done perfectly. And … Read full

BioShock Infinite is a great shooter with its own atmosphere! Let's take a dip in the pros and cons

PROS:

Picture, graphics, atmosphere - here, as in previous parts, the developers approached the game creatively! Everything is done at the highest level - beautiful landscapes, bright contrasting colors of the flying city of Columbia draw you into the game! I was very pleased that we are starting the game in a living city, where, just like on the streets of any city, life is in full swing! Interesting opponents - some of which are not so easy to defeat (I was looking forward to the appearance of the mechanical patriot). The main advantage is a colorful, memorable picture!

CONS:

The plot of the game seemed a little confusing to me! At first I followed him, but then I didn’t pay attention to him a… Read full

At first, the game was addictive with both the gameplay and the plot, but after a couple of hours the gameplay starts to get boring, at the end of the game I just ran around in the hope that I wouldn’t have to kill someone again, look for cartridges, machine guns, but all this saves the plot, which is so addictive, that you often don’t even notice some shortcomings.
