BioShock Infinite

Booker DeWitt is sent to a flying city called Columbia to bring back a young woman named Elizabeth and clear a debt. Where the first BioShock sank a libertarian dream under the sea, this one raises an American nationalist one into the sky, all bunting and hymns on the surface and racism and class violence underneath. Elizabeth can tear open holes between worlds, and the story follows that power into questions about choice, fate, and whether anything could have gone differently. It trades the claustrophobia of Rapture for bright open skies, and ends somewhere far stranger than it begins.
