6. Bioshock Infinite
2K GamesThe Bioshock series' strength has never been in its combat. The games have excelled in creating worlds that drip with atmosphere, and tense, scary moments, but the fighting just isn't anything special. That's not to say the combat is particularly bad. The act of combining antiquated weaponry with fireballs and lightning bolts can be very fun, and occasionally exhilarating. Despite this, the combat in Bioshock can often feel like a necessary function to progress the storyline, rather than being a fundamental part of the experience. While it still worked well in Rapture, it was in Bioshock Infinite that the cracks began to show. The floating city of Columbia was a beautiful place, but there was never much time to admire it thanks the constant fights against swarms of robots, rebels and patriots. The huge focus on combat in Bioshock Infinite just didn't match up to how fun the actual gameplay was, making the continuous battles fatiguing and often frustrating. In fact, we truly believe that more stealth and platforming, sprinkled with occasional gunfights would have made for a far more effective and refreshing way of journeying through Columbia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcO4hM7w4bY
