BioShock Infinite PC Technical Review

Company: 2K Games
Author: Sean Ridgeley

Introduction, test setup, requirements

BioShock released in 2007 and proved a huge hit thanks to its refreshing gameplay and sharp atmosphere – a major contrast to the sometimes stale annual lineup. It was followed in 2012 by a sequel, but this one was developed by 2K Marin instead of Irrational Games, and though a respectable effort, seemed to lack the spark of its predecessor.

In comes BioShock Infinite, released this week and again developed by Irrational. Judging from my extensive playtime, the game should be everything fans of the original would want and more.

If you're curious as to how the game fares on PC, read on for a light technical analysis.
