Bioshock: Infinite

BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter action game developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K. The game is the third installment of the Bioshock series and the first one set outside the underwater city of Rapture. In Infinite, the player controls the character of Booker DeWitt, a former Pinkerton-turned-private eye, who is tasked with bringing in a mysterious girl, Elizabeth, in return for squaring away his multiple gambling debts. Traveling to the sky city of Columbia, Booker finds out that his mission might be a little more complicated than he initially thought. The game received widespread acclaim for its gameplay, as well as complex characters and story.

Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt!

The gameplay of Infinite follows many of the same beats as the previous installments of the Bioshock series. The player controls the character of Booker in a semi-open environment of Columbia, exploring narrow streets and open squares in search of useful items. The game introduces a system of sky rails, which can be used to travel from one point to the other quickly and to gain an advantage in combat. The system of plasmids, granting player’s unique abilities, is replaced with Vigors, with the difference being in name only.

The core fighting mechanics involve using various types of weapons, like machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers, and Vigors, as mentioned earlier. By using the latter, the player gains access to various abilities, such as shooting fire from their palms, summoning a murder of crows, or possessing enemies and machines, turning them against their allies.

Will the circle be unbroken?

In 1912, Booker DeWitt, a veteran of Wounded Knee massacre and an ex-Pinkerton-turned-private eye, is hired to find a girl named Elizabeth, hidden somewhere in the sky city of Columbia. For carrying out the job, he is promised that all his debts, amassed through heavy gambling addiction, will be wiped away. What initially seems like a simple job quickly turns sideways, as Booker gets involved in Columbia’s internal struggle between the city’s religious establishment, led by charismatic Father Comstock and lower-class revolution of Daisy Fitzroy and her Vox Populi movement. As Booker searches the city for the girl, he finds out that there is more to her than he thought, with mentions of her strange time and space-warping abilities and terrifying monster guarding her.
