« As a game, BioShock Infinite has its successes and its falterings consistent with any suitably complex piece of interactive entertainment.

BioShock Infinite is damn near perfect. »

« Dealing with themes like religion, racism, and xenophobia, Columbia is a richer and more nuanced setting than even Rapture, and the unveiling of the city’s culture is masterfully executed. »

« BioShock Infinite 는 단순한 FPS라기보다는 세계관과 분위기로 기억에 남는 작품이었습니다. 총만 사용하는 전투가 아니라 다양한 능력을 조합해 싸우는 시스템이 굉장히 신선했고, 공중 레일과 맵 구조를 활용한 전투도 당시 기준으로 매우 인상적이었습니다. 특히 하늘 도시 컬럼비아의 분위기가 정말 매력적이었습니다. 겉으로는 밝고 아름다워 보이지만, 그 안에는 광기와 차별 같은 어두운 면이 숨겨져 있어 게임의 몰입감을 더욱 높여줬습니다. 여기에 엘리자베스라는 캐릭터까지 더해지면서 스토리와 감정선이 훨씬 풍부하게 느껴졌습니다. 지금도 저한테 명작으로 남아 있는 게임이지만, 스토리와 여러 떡밥들은 다소 난해하게 느껴졌습니다. 게임이 전하려는 메시지를 완전히 이해하려면 따로 해설 영상이나 분석 글을 찾아봐야 했던 점은 조금 아쉬웠습니다. 그럼에도 독창적인 세계관과 매력적인 캐릭터, 그리고 인상 깊은 연출 덕분에 아직까지도 기억에 남는 최고의 스토리 FPS 중 하나라고 생각합니다. »

« A great successor. Gameplay and exploration was fun. I liked it. Worth playing »

« Gameplay is fun and challenging until the end. It does get somewhat repetitive but developers tried to change the settings so the player does not recognize. I like the critical approach the story takes towards social topics. Definitely worth your time! »

« System Shock: 10/10. Bioshock: 10/10. Bioshock infinite: is this a prank/10. »

« Dios mio que juego, maldita sea, jamas jugare algo parecido, es simplemente arte para su epoca, no tiene punto de comparacion »

« Cara, o que posso dizer??Terminar esse jogo sem desligar o PC e passar alguns bons minutos refletindo consigo mesmo é praticamente uma tarefa impossível. Esse maldito jogo fez e refez oq eu achava dele ao longo do game várias e várias vezes. Sim é incrível, emocionante, doloroso, impactante, revoltante. Mas acima de tudo, BIOSHOCK INFINITE é grandioso ao infinito, que história meus amigos, valeu e VALE cada centavo que investi comprando e tempo jogando. »

« Master piece. La mejor experiencia gamer de mi vida. una maravilla audiovisual, con un lore excelente. de verdad jugarlo, no tiene desperdicio »

« Sky-High Masterpiece with a Slow Burn BioShock Infinite is a rare breed of shooter that prioritizes its "mind-blown" narrative above all else. While the story takes its time to gain momentum, often feeling "foreign" or slow-paced in its early hours, it builds toward a conclusion that is nothing short of a masterpiece. The relationship between Booker and Elizabeth serves as the emotional anchor, evolving into a complex examination of choice and consequence. Though the initial narrative structure can feel somewhat tiring, the ultimate payoff is deeply rewarding, leaving you with the profound feeling of a "dark fairytale." The gameplay strikes a solid balance between traditional first-person shooting and tactical variety, though it occasionally feels like a straightforward FPS at its core. The inclusion of Vigors adds a layer of creativity to the combat, even if their importance feels less central than the Plasmids of the past. While there is enough variety to experiment, the game’s difficulty is flexible; choosing a more relaxed approach often feels more natural, allowing the player to focus on the spectacle rather than getting bogged down in repetitive combat loops or "anemic" filler quests. Visually and aurally, the game is an absolute triumph. Columbia is breathtaking, defined by an exceptional concept art style that blends vibrant aesthetics with a sinister, underlying darkness. The sound design is equally meticulous, with an atmospheric score where tracks like "Beast of America" perfectly capture the game's gritty yet grand spirit. However, while the writing is ambitious and philosophical, it occasionally lacks the tight, cinematic polish needed to bridge the gap between its slow beginning and the explosive, emotional ending. Ultimately, while the first two BioShock titles set an incredibly high bar, Infinite manages to surpass them in my view. It takes the core DNA of the series and elevates it into something more ambitious and emotionally resonant. By trading the claustrophobic depths of Rapture for the expansive heights of Columbia, it delivers a superior experience that leaves a sweet, lingering aftertaste and a sense of wonder that its predecessors couldn't quite match, proving itself as the pinnacle of the franchise. »
