BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are two very different solutions to the same problem. That problem being, “How do you follow up a title as amazing as BioShock?” BioShock 2 is the designed-by-suits-in-a-shareholders-meeting approach, while BioShock Infinite takes a much more creative path. By taking some inspiration from the original and building a whole new story, Infinite is one of the freshest gaming experiences of this generation.
I love the story that this game has to tell. It’s seemingly simple tale about a guy on a quest to save a girl goes way deeper than you’ll expect. I won’t go into spoilers, but it is well worth experiencing. Combat was not the strongest suit of the original, but it is much better here. The shooting mechanics are tight and the powers open the door for a lot of creativity.
The only thing that keeps this off the top 10 is that it’s not quite as fresh as its predecessor, which may or may not have cracked the top 10. Tune in next time to find out!
