BioShock Infinite - A Masterpiece of Storytelling in the Sky
The moment I stepped into Columbia for the first time, watching the city float among the clouds while a barbershop quartet sang "God Only Knows" on a floating platform – I knew BioShock Infinite was going to be something extraordinary. This wasn't just another shooter; it was a journey that would challenge both my reflexes and my perception of reality.
Let me share a moment that encapsulates the game: I was exploring a quiet museum when Elizabeth, my companion, started dancing to music from a phonograph. In the middle of this world of violence and political strife, this small human moment felt magical. That's BioShock Infinite – it knows how to balance the intimate with the epic.
