Review: Superb, but extremely violent and thoughtful shooter tackles complex ideas
Sadly, there are seriously few video games worth playing, for their story, or thought-provoking themes and characters, and aren't so steeped in unneccesary gore and sexual content that you're completely desentisized, and consequently I don't really play many.
But every now and then, there is a video game which can be considered a masterpiece, and has both a thought-provoking and deep story, and superb gameplay, graphics etc. Such is Bioshock Infinite, a masterpiece by every standard.
When I finished it, I just sat there with mouth open, staring alternatively at the screen and at my brother, saying: What the heck did I just experience?"
First, let me just start with the one thing that video games rarely had, or still have..incredible voice acting, by everyone, especially Troy Baker. Now to the story:
"Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt," are the instructions that bring Booker DeWitt to Columbia, a floating, huge city, where he needs to "kidnap" a girl, who has been locked up in a tower all her life.
But things quickly spin out of control, as they learn to work together and fight to survive as they begin to uncover the dark secrets of Columbia and its founding fathers.
This game is masterfully written, with amazing atmosphere and depth that just makes it feel so realistic, coupled with beautiful aesthetics in perfect harmony.
It also does a incredible job at foreshadowing the future, so at the end, when all the strings and ideas, and plot points come together, you're just stunned, and instantly want to play it again, when it all makes more sense.
But, be warned..this game's "end" is reminiscent of something like Memento or The Prestige or Shutter Island, or whatever, your mind feeling like it got cooked.
The gameplay is also amazingly smooth and enjoyable, with Fallout-like, sci-fi, but still nostalgic weapons, and of course the Vigors, which are basically the Plasmids from the original Bioshock.
My rating is totally 10/10. A masterpiece of gaming, in every single aspect.
I will be posting a Parent Guide to this game, pretty soon, so stay tuned.
Love you all, please give me your feedback, and have a fantastic day and life.
