None of that seemed remotely strange or out of place until, walking through the city’s bustling courtyard, I heard the familiar harmonies of “God Only Knows” wafting through the digital air. There were towering statues, strange religious shrines and countless other rare sights - oh yeah, and the fact that it’s 1912 and yet I was in A FLOATING CITY IN THE SKY. After all, in that short timeframe, I’d been rocketed through the air to a beautiful, mysterious city in the sky that seemed to be a utopian (dystopian?) vision of American exceptionalism mixed with religious dogma. It’s weird, considering all the wondrous sights in the first 10 minutes of Bioshock Infinite, that it was a song that gave me pause.
While I avoid discussing Bioshock Infinite’s plot in much detail, and even keep my discussion of the first Bioshock’s ending a bit vague, those who wish to go into the games totally blind would be best to read this piece after you’ve fully explored Rapture and Colombia.
That said, it’s impossible to discuss the Bioshock series without going into at least a few particulars. Requisite spoiler disclaimer: Unlike much of what I write about here at the blog, video games do benefit from not knowing certain details.
