This game is good. Really good. Probably my favorite of the Bioshock trilogy, although Bioshock 2 is not far behind.

The locations are great, although admittedly aren't as distinct as Rapture ever was. The character work in this game is easily a step above anything from the other 2 games. The relationship between Booker and Elizabeth was fantastic throughout pretty much the entire game. Comstock was also a very memorable villain. He's not Andrew Ryan, but who is? The graphics, obviously, look far and away better than the first two, even with their remasters in mind. The game also ran very well (unlike the remasters).

This game feels very unlike the first two in that it focuses more so on the linear story aspect of the game than the originals. Speaking of the story, it is very good, as it hinges on the previously mentioned fantastic characters. With that being said, I wasn't a fan of the ending. Too complicated and confusing. I understand where they were going, but it didn't work to the same degree the rest of the game did.

I would recommend to most gamers, although people who really loved the first 2 Bioshocks might come out disappointed.
