When a noired-up dame strolls into your office asking for help in chasing down a missing girl, no self-respecting private eye can say no, right? Yet the premise of this possibly alternate-timeline, quasi-epilogue DLC is anything but straightforward.

+ Delightful nods to the, + Plenty of reasons to explore; lots of items to hunt down

- Infinite gameplay in Rapture feels out of place; interstitial feel to plot; not for series newbies, ?

BioShock Infinite's first season pass offering is Clash in the Clouds, a challenge-based pack in the vein of BioShock 2's Protector Trials and Dishonored's Dunwall City Trials.

● Arenas are diverse and fun ● Rewards system is comprehensive and incentivizes creativity

● Not really enough content for a 3-piece; $30 season pass ● No new weapons or Vigors is a missed opportunity ● Restartable waves would have been nice

Combat gets repetitive; Minor presentation annoyances

Burial at Sea Episode 1 returns you to Rapture, the Rand-esque city beneath the sea from the first two BioShock games, in ways both familiar and not so much so. This is Rapture, on the eve of the day its society collapsed in on itself, and the protagonist is Booker DeWitt, but not exactly BioShock...

BioShock Infinite has had a bumpy road to release. Every step Irrational Games took to get to us BioShock Infinite was worth it. The game takes place in an alternate 1912 where a floating city called Columbia is front and centre.

The world created by Ken Levine and his team is mind-blowing beautiful; The art comes alive in the streets of Columbia, and everything is colourful it is hard not to stop and look around in awe of what district you are in Columbia, and what you are witnessing.

It's been a long road from the aeroplane over the sea above Rapture's lighthouse, through the darkly lit gloom of Booker T. Dewitt's office, to the soaring heights of Columbia's city in the sky.

What Bioshock has achieved as a series is nothing short of groundbreaking. Introducing complex storylines with interesting themes and philosophies to an audience that simply isn't used to being challenged in that way is exactly what the industry needed.

2K and Irrational Games released BioShock Infinite last March which took players from the ocean to the skies. Players would step into the lives of Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth while leaving the world of Big Daddies and Little Sisters behind--for now.

This BioShock is infinitely more enthralling that almost any other game out there

Powerful storytelling; excellent combat mechanics mixing vigors, skyline rails and gunplay; Elizabeth is a compelling character and a huge help in combat; fully realised environments create intense immersion; good length; binary moral choices have been given the axe

Some later battles can be tedious and frustrating; enemies are a little too aware of you; binary moral choices have been given the axe

The question that lots of people may be asking is did we really need a BioShock Infinite expansion? The events of the story saw things tied up by the end, although we all also came to realise that there's much more to the BioShock universe.
