Play through

The game was cheap so I figured why not? I skipped it in my original purchase list because everyone said BioShock 1 is the best. Some games are too ground breaking to the point where making a sequel is pointless. If a sequel does happen it just retreads the same old path. canadavisa11A#

The game starts out the same as the first installment. I cannot tell if the game looks better or worse than the original but it run fine and the textures look sharp for the most part. Not much stuff to explore in the early game. You get shuffled from point to point which listening to tonnes of audio. Nothing that did not happen in the original game.

The game appeals to the collect-a-thon side of my brain since there is alot to search but its mostly nothing. Salt and food. Definitely not as bad as Skyrim. In the end it feels pointless to even continue searching everything. The combat feels good - if a bit cramped.

I walk around collecting coins following the story line. Its a pretty straight forward game, not much chance to go off road since it is set in a sky fortress. The powers get handed out little by little like in the previous game. Not alot of enemies to use them on.

I dont remember the first game being like this but infinite has too many powers and guns. They are good but kinda pointless. There are not enough enemies to kill and no need to switch between the options because they are all basically the same effect with different animations.

I stopped playing this game for a while or maybe it just got forgotten in my rotations as I try to finish up Dark Souls. The game is boring, you have alot of choice in regards to weapons and magic but there are not enough enemies on which to use them. All the basic stuff is fine and the rocket launch has a good splash distance that I do not need to use much else.

How it ended

The game is not too long and is easy to get through. The ending did not shock me as much. By that point I was just going through the motions.

Conclusion

My rating 7/10. The game is ok, boring but ok. I just do not care for the world or anything that is happening in it. The graphics is colourful but not inspiring. The first BioSHock was definitely better and scarier. This game is not scary or interesting. You have every gun you could desire and you can play using any style you wish. So the game is not bad as a shooter because you have all the guns and magic you could ask for. There is just something missing.

Strategy

Play on easy. The game really has no strategy, its A to B stuff with a few hidden corners that give you extra stuff to add to your already over powered "OP" arsenal of stuff. The rocket launcher is the best weapon because you can kill groups of enemies in its splash range. There is no reason to use the other weapons or buy upgrades for anything that you do not use. I beat the game with $7000 credits so money wont be a problem if you specialize in only a few skills/weapons.
