The Englishman hands Booker a box, again in a similar manner to the first game. The scene is very similar to the start of the first Bioshock game, where the protagonist happens upon a tower in the middle of the ocean before his decent to the city under the sea.

Welcome to the fascinating and somewhat bizarre world of Bioshock Infinite.Īpart from sharing a few similar themes and gaming conceits, Bioshock Infinite has nothing to do with the previous two games.

Bioshock Infinite is something of a departure from the setting of the last two games in the series, swapping the underwater Dystopia of Rapture for the seemingly utopian Columbia, a floating city in the clouds.
