I've been trying to figure out this game, and the franchise, since I've heard of it. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it overrated? Underrated? What the f#ck is it?

Bioshock Infinite and it's 2 DLCs feel so convoluted; and from that it becomes "fake deep".

It is so close to hitting a mark and saying something meaningful, but it just doesn't. I think that's where the convolution comes in.

Anyways, Bioshock Infinite is riffling and convoluted. On a similar note, I've heard of the story summary for the original Bioshock and I'm worried it's going to be more of the same- where nothing is said and ideas are riffled through and it becomes "fake deep".

At least Clash in The Clouds is pretty fun. Though I wish it had this type of gameplay in the base game because in the base game the combat feels inconsequential with the weapon choices: Why use this ammo type or gun for this situation or another?
By most encounters I had most of my resources still remaining to me. Half-Life 2 and the original Ratchet and Clank did their weapons better, yet they were released ages ago.

Same with vigors. Why use this vigor over that one? Why not use this weapon + vigor strategy over another? I think I literally didn't do one vigor combo in the base game other than (maybe!!!) Undertow + something else. The only time I did a Vigor Combo was to get cash in Clash of the Clouds.

I'm tired of writing/formatting this review. Figuring out what I want to say and how to block those ideas is becoming as convoluted as the game's form. Bioshock Infinite is a very funky game that doesn't really make sense.
