religion, racism, patriotism, anarchy, etc.) But, instead of taking these themes as offensive, they should be taken as informative.
Infinite almost takes it up a notch, adding more themes which have even been considered as risky and/or controversial by some (ex. One thing that Bioshock does best is depicting a piece of past/present societies and pushing it to the extreme in order to make a point or to make people think about different issues. Once you arrive at Columbia, you are immediately introduced to many of the game’s themes. And Columbia, represents this American notion in a very pronounced and distorted way. Infinite takes place during the early 1900’s during the growth of American Exceptionalism. Like all Bioshock games, the story takes place in the past. So, he’s transferred to Columbia, the floating city in the sky…yeah, that caught Booker off guard as well. All he knows is that by getting this girl, a lot of his problems will go away.
The details of this all are not only unknown to you, but also to Booker. The story starts off with him in search of a girl from an unknown place called Columbia. In Bioshock Infinite you play as Booker Dewitt (Troy Baker), one of the main protagonists of the game. And if you’re not familiar with that, you’ll surely be exposed to it in a very refreshing way in Bioshock Infinite. It is its own game with the Bioshock familiarity that we all know and love. By that I mean, you don’t need to sit there reading through synopsis of the previous games or even play the previous games in order to understand what is going on in Infinite. This game stands on its own and as much as we can’t help but compare it to the previous Bioshock games, it’s safe to say that anybody, whether you’re a Bioshock fan or not, could play this game and feel comfortable with it.
There is no “3” in the title, which makes this a very important point.
#BIOSHOCK INFINITE REVIEW SERIES#
Bioshock Infinite is the 3rd game in the Bioshock series but, as the title suggests, it is in no way related to the previous titles.
