8 Video Games We All Gave Up On (Thanks To One Level)

5. Command Deck - BioShock Infinite

Bioshock Infinite is set in Columbia - a floating city in the clouds that strangely doesn't have Lando Calrissian at the helm. Nonetheless, it's a fantastic setting for the third (and arguably best) instalment in the BioShock franchise. It's a really enjoyable and relatively easy game until its finale, which sees Booker and Elizabeth defending a ship from an onslaught of enemies using guns, vigors (in-game superpowers) and the giant mechanical Songbird. It's a hectic, desperate struggle to survive where multi-tasking is key, as disposing of varying waves of enemies requires different combinations of weapons and vigors. On top of this, health and ammo has to be topped up regularly and Songbird needs to be told what to attack. Truth be told, managing all of this is a bit like trying to do a maths exam in a war zone using a pen that's also a snake. What's worse is that the battle lasts for about 10 minutes with zero checkpoints, meaning that there is absolutely no room for error. It gets frustrating as hell after the second or third attempt, especially if you were painstakingly close to the end and then made one fatal mistake.
