BioShock Infinite is a must-play cinematic shooter
Calling BioShock Infinite the best BioShock game is no small compliment. When you consider that 2008’s BioShock is regularly cited as one of the greatest games ever made (deservedly so, in my opinion), Infinite faced massive expectations upon release in 2013.
To say BioShock Infinite delivered would be a huge understatement, it hit a home run and then some. Switching locations from Rapture to the city of Columbia, you play Booker DeWitt, a man swimming in debt and lamenting his past failings. His shot at redemption comes when he’s given the task of recusing Elizabeth, a mysterious girl being held captive in the floating city of the future. But this is a BioShock game so expect story-altering twists…
The star of Infinite is undoubtedly Columbia itself. Much like Rapture, it’s presented as a fallen utopia now rife with inequality, discrimination and a seedy underbelly. And while I’d perhaps not want to call Columbia home, it remains one of gaming’s best settings. Infinite’s story is also gripping. The relationship between Booker and Elizabeth is compelling, and as they get closer to discovering secrets about the city and themselves you’ll be hooked.
BioShock Infinite is no slouch in the gameplay department either. The shooting fundamentals are solid with Booker having access to the expected range of firearms. But combat is spiced up by Vigors, colorful elixirs that imbue Booker with powerful abilities such as shooting lightning from his fingertips. Plus, several arenas allow you to use the game’s iconic sky-hook to zip around the battlefield reigning down carnage from hanging metal rails.
Even better, Prime Gaming isn’t just giving away the standard edition of BioShock Infinite; you’re getting the Complete Edition, which includes all the game’s DLC. The Clash in the Clouds expansion is a routine set of combat arenas that feel superfluous. However, Burial at Sea, which is comprised of two story-based chapters, is phenomenal. Burial at Sea is set in Rapture and ties the entire BioShock trilogy together in a way that feels highly satisfying.
BioShock Infinite is a game worth paying for. Over the years, I’ve bought it four separate times, most recently to play on my Steam Deck OLED. So, getting a game of this quality without having to spend a penny is a treat that Amazon Prime subscribers shouldn’t pass up. BioShock Infinite remains a special experience, and there’s never been a better time to visit Columbia for the very first time or make a return if you’ve already experienced Booker’s journey.
