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.

Aternate realities became mainstream thanks to this game. Amazing gameplay, piece of art graphics.
They caught lighting in a bottle with this game - It's so well crafted, that every scene is looks like it's out of a dream. The music design is just phenomenal, the way the music plays and suits itself to your actions, the way it helps with the suspense of the story, just beautiful man. Atmosphere aside. The gunplay is as fun as you make it with no limit put. So you can combo so many things as you can imagine and you have to surprisingly strategize big fights in terms of ammo conversion and health. My biggest complaints are the controls. Sometimes they are so frustrating because of certain levels. The other thing that I didn't enjoy are some optimization and really outdated weird bugs. Like switching volume output drivers messes up all the audio and you'd have to restart. The game is old though, so I get why that's happened, it's probably the game engine itself. Don't judge this game before you for real try it. 9.5/10
Works with Steam Machine, may have issues with Textures , but this seems to be common issue with 2K games... I googled answer to change PoolSize to 4000 in DefaultEngine.ini (in game/XGame/Config directory). This is my second playthru, I did remember major spoiler (less you know, better). But I have mostly forgotten, so this was quite nice run. It would take about 12 hours to play from start to end, and I did enjoy this. Maybe again after 12 years.... Now I should play DLC's of this game.
