BioShock Infinite is an action-adventure video game developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K Games. It was released on September 5, 2013 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360, and was later released for PlayStation 3 and 4 on February 9, 2014.
The game is a spiritual successor to the 2007 video game BioShock, which was developed by 2K Boston in collaboration with Irrational Games.
The player controls Booker DeWitt, a gun-toting mercenary who is sent to the underwater city of Rapture in order to rescue the woman he loves, Elizabeth. Along the way, they must fight their way through the city’s denizens and its infamous Big Daddy robots.
BioShock Infinite features a unique episodic structure in which each mission is tied into a larger story arc.
In order to improve the game’s performance, BioShock Infinite’s developers implemented a new plasmid system that allows players to customise their characters’ abilities. Players can earn new plasmids by defeating enemies or finding them scattered throughout Rapture.
Some of the more powerful plasmids require multiple slots in order to be used, leading some players to complain about how difficult it is to acquire new slots.
Players can increase their plasmid slots by acquiring ADAM from Splicers or from weapons and other objects found throughout the game world. ADAM can also be exchanged for slots at Gatherer’s Gardens, a special vendor found near some of the game’s more powerful plasmids.
However, players who want to maximise their character’s abilities should avoid using ADAM altogether and instead focus on acquiring new slots for their plasmids.
