An absolute mess of a game. The themes are undercooked and its plot elements are all too familiar; this would be fine were its gameplay not sacrificed to accommodate them. The gameplay itself is rather lousy, as little thought seems to have been given to why this is even an FPS with magical powers in the first place. 2013 was a big year for video games, and not in a good way; Bioshock Infinite isn't the most responsible for toxic trends, but it might be the product which, in and of itself, is the greatest failure.
