Nice add-on to the game but relentlessly hard.

Clash in the Clouds is another fun DLC for Bioshock Infinite. It adds four arena’s with fifteen waves each. Each wave contains a special challenge that you can complete to earn a Blue Ribbon as proof of completion. Wen you collect all sixty ribbons by completing the challenges, you earn an achievement.

Although the arenas are fun to play and adds some variaton to the game, my personal problem with Clash in the Clouds is that it is just too damn hard. I completed the main game on 1998 mode, something that I am quite proud of, but this DLC is just impossible for me.

The biggest problem is that you cannot start waves over. When failing your Blue Ribbon challenge on wave thirteen, you don’t get another shot. You need to complete all the other waves again to reach Wave thirteen again, in which you can try again. This can make it atrocious to attempt the Blue Ribbon challenges and for me, it killed most of the fun I had with it. The Blue Ribbon achievement is the only one that I still miss for Bioshock infinite.

Maybe I just need to git gut, but this is just a feat that I cannot complete. Maybe I will try it again someday, but for now, I am too scared to try.
