A good excuse to experiment with BioShock Infinite's often underrated combat, but the overall experience still feels somewhat underwhelming.

Survival mode suits the game's wide range of weapons and equipment well, and the Blue Ribbon challenges are a clever incentive; Some interesting unlockables and Easter eggs

None of the maps are especially well designed for straight combat and they do get extremely hard quite early on; No new gameplay features

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

I played the original bioshock when it was released, i had an amazing time playing it and it has one of the best story lines to any game. Bioshock Infinite is just as amazing. The city is unique and when you see it for the first time, like in bioshock 1 when you see rapture, you are amazed by it's...

I'm a big fan of the first two games in the BioShock series, and this one is no exception. Amazing graphics, awesome storyline and the extra DLC is good as well. This one doesn't feel as dark or creepy as the first two but it has it's own redeeming qualities. 5 star game all the way.

Arriving by row boat to a lighthouse, across a stormy sea, guided by two people who seem to know the fate that awaits you. There's always a lighthouse.... Bioshock Infinite transports the protagonist Booker DeWitt into a floating city in the sky, Columbia.

"Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt." That is all Booker Dewitt had to do, and it sounds easy enough doesn't it? Wrong! This girl isn't waiting at a mall to be picked up by you.

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, ?

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. And now, there's also a gimmick. Episode 1 of BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea isn't a story that sheds new light on BioShock lore, but is rather a story that stitches together two worlds in ways that don't enhance either of them.

Beautiful sounds and visuals; Several standout moments with intriguing allegorical implications

BioShock Infinite's mechanics and narrative devices don't make sense in Rapture; Easy; throwaway action sequences

Though Burial at Sea Episode 1 may be a short vignette next to Infinite's novel, it's still one you aren't likely to put down for the brief time it lasts -- and it's priced accordingly at $15. Just don't expect the story to yank the rug out from under you quite so delightfully this time.

Story won't surprise; Too short to build mystery

In 2007 Irrational Games' vision of Rapture provided one of the most engaging and haunting backdrops for a game in memory. Bioshock was born and a genre was changed forever as Bioshock combined an almost perfectly horrific narrative with suspense, frights and gameplay that just took a giant leap...
