BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter video game developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K. The third installment of the BioShock series, Infinite was released worldwide for the PlayStation 3, Windows, Xbox 360, and OS X platforms in 2013. The game is set in the year 1912 and follows its protagonist, Booker DeWitt, who is sent to the airborne city Columbia to retrieve Elizabeth, a young woman held captive there. Booker and Elizabeth become involved in a class war between the nativist Founders that rule Columbia and the rebel Vox Populi, representing the city's underclass. Elizabeth possesses the ability to manipulate "Tears" in the space-time continuum, and Booker and Elizabeth discover she is central to Columbia's dark secrets. The player controls Booker DeWitt throughout the game, fighting enemies and scavenging supplies, while the computer-controlled Elizabeth provides assistance.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Forgot to write a review I guess 10 years ago, but looking back at it now, this game still holds up today graphically and it's kind of bittersweet to see a title from that long ago eclipse modern games. Where modern story fps games lose the plot in today's landscape of games, Bioshock Infinite is solid.
Played this game when it first launched and still come back to it every few years on different platforms. I really enjoy the setting, music, gameplay, and the Lutece characters. Because the graphics aren't hyper realistic it doesn't really look all that dated and the gameplay is still smooth. With my humble setup I hit 180 FPS on 1080p, and the game runs really well on Steam deck as well and doesn't necessarily feel like a battery killer. However, if you wanna play in 4k on a larger monitor you may want to consider installing a mod to increase the size of the text and HUD, it's really really tiny otherwise.
usually i like to post goofy reviews but holy sh1t what did i just play. i dont think i've seen such an interesting concept in any video game series ever. this is one of the best games i've ever played. ps: use the autohotkey script for iron sights.
