BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition

The Good
Taking after the previous BioShock and System Shock titles, the gameplay is expectedly excellent. RPG elements, the vigor powers, the bombastic arsenal of guns and other weapons, it's all here for Irrational's swansong.

The Bad
Where to begin... The story is absolutely horrid. It does nothing to immerse the player or make them interested in the stakes. All it makes me want to do is skip the cutscenes. Burial at Sea does a better job of storytelling, but not by much. 1999 Mode feels like an afterthought, and while it was supposed to be more than just a difficulty setting, the plans for it were scrapped, leaving the mode in a hollow shell of it's prerelease self.

The Bottom Line
While I personally like this game just fine, it has no appeal whatsoever to both hardcore fans and players jumping into the franchise for the first time. It's good, but if you want a truly great game, just play the other BioShock titles.
