Bioshock Infinite

Done with Dishonored, time for Bioshock Infinite. (There will be at least one more post on Dishonored.)

A game I expect to enjoy. And now that I think about it it’s the perfect follow-up game to Dishonored, because it’s so light and sunny whereas the darkness in Dishonored was wearing me down, especially the more I played. I expect to have nothing but praise for the setting in Bioshock Infinite, it looks gorgeous in all the videos I’ve seen. The setting in the first Bioshock was awesome, there is something really darkly and eerily poetic about a city under water, but like the setting in Dishonored it became kind of depressing even as it kept being fascinating (which the setting in Dishonored didn’t really, but the game has other virtues.)

I doubt the story will rival that of the first Bioshock, but I’m sure it’ll be good! It’s just that the story of the first Bioshock is among the best ever in a video game, it’ll be exceedingly difficult to surpass.

Not usually a fan of shooters, but the developers cram so many good elements into the Bioshocks that all is forgiven.

Lastly, I really like having a (likable) companion in a game which is another advantage this Bioshock has over the others.

I’ll have more to say when I’ve actually played the game, but that’s just the details. That I’ll like the game is a forgone conclusion.
