For the first time I opted to 100% complete Bioshock infinite and it's DLC content. Having never given 1999 mode a chance I was interested to see how I would feel about the title as a whole after cracking open everything it has to offer.
Holy shit, I had completely missed the level of flexibility when it comes to combat. Vigor combinations, weapon upgrades and environmental design paired perfectly with the challenge and enemy encounters that this difficulty had to provide.
So much of the complex multiverse plot is explained with even the most miniscule collectibles. This game truly only opens up from more challenging encounters.
It's styling, it's political commentary and characters are so rich with complexity that Infinite stands on it's own as more than just a mirror "what if" to the original Bioshock.
I don't believe it accomplishes everything it sets out to do perfectly. It fumbles a bit at times due to some awkwardness but this is easily an ambitious adventure that makes the name of Bioshock feel like it's own.
Crank up that difficulty, Pick up that hand cannon and take a once in a lifetime trip into the clouds
