Bioshock Infinite's characters, setting, story, environments, and graphics are phenominal. But the combat is only okay.

I'm the kind of person that will overlook a game's shortcomings if it can entertain me elsewhere, and I think everything in Bioshock Infinite more than makes up for this game's lackluster combat. Your companion Elizabeth is not a dumb AI to babysit; she will provide cover, ammo, escape routes, etc in combat and enemies don't seem to care about her existence. It's a bit weird, but the system is good in a way that you can only really screw yourself over with poor choices. And that'll happen often, due to being frail and combat being too hectic to have the time to make wise decisions.

But look at this game's screenshots. This is one of the best-looking games on PC right now. The game's setpieces are amazing, the world's history is fleshed out rather well, and Elizabeth's personality does a great job of making you care about your mission and the conflicts that arise as a result.

Bioshock Infinite's story will blow your mind. I'd love to say why, but let's just keep it at that.

5 out of 5 foxes.
