10 Most Underrated Video Game Levels Of The Decade

6. Bioshock Infinite - Comstock House

Bioshock Infinite
Irrational Games

A grandiose adventure through an oppressive city in the sky, Bioshock Infinite is riddled with set-pieces designed to have an effect on the player.

Though around half way through the lush colour palette is traded for darker tones as you enter Comstock House, the executive estate of Colombia inhabited by the ultra-nationalist Founders, among other forgotten inhabitants.

It is a place where nightmares are born, and this is only exacerbated when you enter 'The Hall of Our Lady', a destitute mental asylum full of disturbed patients and the Boys of Silence.

Surgeries are performed in an operating theatre with an audience, and everyone who's played it will remember the iconic jump scare when you open the gate only to turn around and find one of the boys staring you right in the face.

You later come across an area entitled 'Where We Work', in which you find the result of the labour of the inhabitants, a spine-tingling workshop full of the Motorized Patriots disembodied faces. This level is so thick with an atmosphere that you can almost taste, and is certainly overshadowed by some of the more grand moments in Infinite.
