BioShock Infinite cost to play

BioShock Infinite is a single-player first-person shooter set in Columbia, a city floating in the sky. It was developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K, and first came out on 25 March 2013, including on Steam. It is sold at a one-off price. It ranks #14 in our best games of all time ranking.

How it plays

BioShock Infinite puts the player in the role of Booker DeWitt, a former U.S. Cavalry soldier turned hired gun. In 1912 he is sent to the flying city of Columbia to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman locked up there since childhood, and the two have to trust each other as they try to escape.

Combat pairs a weapon in one hand with Vigors in the other: powers that throw explosive fireballs, shoot lightning or release flocks of crows. The player can also open Tears in time and space to pull weapons, turrets and other resources onto the battlefield. Fights take place on zeppelins in the clouds, in the streets of Columbia and on the city's Sky-Lines, rails that the player rides at speed and can attack from.

The game is single-player. Finishing it unlocks 1999 Mode, a harder setting that 2K describes as aimed at experienced players.
