Great game. Super immersive story and realistic-feeling characters. Amazing graphics were a plus as well.

Hilariously glitchy but still a beautifully fun game with a good story. Totally worth the money spent.

Great strategic game for both killer and survivor, but the matchmaking system sucks. Besides that it has great DLC, events, patches/fixes, and other stuff that keeps DBD refreshing and fun to play

Bioshock Infinite was the most fun I had ever gotten out of a video game for less than twenty bucks, and it was only $7.49 during the Steam Summer Sale! I'm writing an intensive review for this game because I firmly believe it deserves every ounce of glory.

My (vague) thoughts (without spoilers):
- The graphics were beautiful (even though I'm on a macbook that can hardly run 60 fps for this game). I found myself getting tons of screenshots just to memorialize the experience of playing the game.
- The gameplay exceeded my standards for what I thought would be an average game. I thought the overall balance between forcing players to constantly think, strategize, and execute objectives with such little resources was thoroughly constructed very well. For example, I ended up dying multiple times in one area because I wasn't evaluating everything relevant to the task at hand.
- The plot was absolutely astounding for a game that jam-packed lots of complicated narratives in eight hours of gameplay. A lot of the symbols and metaphors felt convoluted at first, but as time progressed, the clarity of each became more sound. Also, the lack of a lot of exposition felt great because (in my opinion) games with a lot of exposition are deeply rooted in the assumption that the players are either moronic, immature, and/or adolescent.
- The characters were my absolute favorite part of the game. Although the trope of "rescue dansel in distress, have x happen" felt theatre-esque/cliche, it didn't detract from their true personalities. The character development of the protagonists felt very real to the point that I felt as if I were in the story and they were alive. The emotions displayed by the characters (and myself) felt very genuine and very well-composed.

I could not think of anything negative about this game because I really, really enjoyed playing it (so much to the point that I would play the whole story again from the beginning). If you want a fun, immersive game that will intrigue, entertain, and satisfy you, I'm absolutely positive you will also enjoy this experience of a game.

This is the most addicting, heart-wrenching, soul-crushing, flabbergasting magnum opus of the 21st century.
