BioShock Infinite represented a brave new direction for the acclaimed BioShock series, which had until now taken place in the claustrophobic confines of the underwater city of Rapture. This time set on the floating city of Columbia, BioShock Infinite managed to take many great features from the first two games and include them in a brave, exciting new world. Putting players in the shoes of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, BioShock Infinite was a strange, darkly humorous epic that had several exciting tales to tell. Primarily, the relationship between Booker and Elizabeth tied the game together, and the final moments of the game have been labelled equal parts genius and convoluted. Gameplay mechanics such as the Vigors and Elizabeths ability to open rifts managed to just about keep the combat fresh throughout, and many of the side plots and characters proved to be hugely memorable. The real star of BioShock Infinite was the city itself though, to the extent that sometimes we just wanted to explore its wonders without worrying about the steady stream of fights.
