Of course, beyond the game's world view and background.
In fact, the combat system of "BioShock Infinite" is also quite interesting.
Although it's an FPS game, it also has some RPG elements.
Magic in the left hand and guns in the right gives players many combat combinations.
There are various types of contraptions in the environment, such as turrets. If the player learns the "Chaos" magic at this point, they can control enemy turrets and turn them into their own firepower.
And as the game progresses, players can not only get more different weapons but also various sets with superpower elements.
Combining different weapons and magic can create different playstyles.
Of course, for now, Zack has only learned a few scattered psychic abilities.
But besides these things, what Zack is most looking forward to and curious about is the game's main storyline.
After all, "BioShock Infinite" is an FPS game with a very clear linear story progression. In the game, Zack didn't feel the freedom of "Red Dead Redemption."
It's more like "Uncharted" and "The Last of Us," but the whole Sky-City in "BioShock Infinite" is even more vivid.
On normal difficulty, Zack didn't get stuck and kept pushing the story forward.
After Comstock made the airship crash, Booker successfully reached the giant Monument Island using the sky-rail.
And when Zack controlled Booker into the angel statue, he discovered that inside the magnificent angel statue from the outside was actually a huge research institute.
"My heavens!"
Looking at the research institute inside the angel statue, Zack was like grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking at everything around him.
Electricity condensed into visible currents, a giant siphon.
Everything appeared so awe-inspiring.
But what surprised Zack even more was that this research institute seemed to be built specifically for studying Elizabeth.
Through some documents and photos, it could be known that the people in this research institute had been constantly monitoring Elizabeth.
Why were these people monitoring Elizabeth?
Isn't Elizabeth Comstock's daughter?
A question mark appeared in Zack's mind.
However, unlike the problems that had been bothering him before, this time Zack quickly got the answer he wanted.
In an observation room on the second floor, through a one-way glass window.
Zack saw Elizabeth, Booker's target. The girl looked healthy and cheerful, only missing a finger.
In the room, Elizabeth was entertaining herself by acting out a play, admiring the Eiffel Tower she had painted.
But what was even more surprising was that Elizabeth actually had the ability to tear space.
She tore open a spatial rift on the canvas, and on the other side seemed to be the real Paris, but the rift disappeared in an instant.
"So Elizabeth was imprisoned by her own father, Comstock, because Elizabeth has this ability to open spatial rifts."
"And this research institute was built to study Elizabeth's abilities. Those two mysterious people were also coveting Elizabeth's superpowers, so they entrusted Booker to rescue Elizabeth, and in the end, Booker and Elizabeth adventured together, ultimately deciding to take down Comstock and the mastermind organization behind those two mysterious people?" Zack made bold guesses and assumptions.
He felt he was pretty close. After all, wasn't "The Last of Us" a similar plot?
It's just that now it's a cartoon version, with the addition of a utopia, religion, and a series of settings.
With his guesses, Zack continued to move forward.
Inside the research institute, reaching the upstairs library, the floor collapsed and Booker fell, and at the same time, he finally officially met Elizabeth.
Using the key given by the mysterious siblings, Booker took Elizabeth away from the place where she had been imprisoned her entire life since she could remember, and breathed the free, fresh air outside.
But the next moment, in the sky, the giant mechanical bird Nightingales, responsible for guarding and taking care of her, madly swooped down.
"Damn it, how can we withstand this!"
"Is it invincible? It takes no damage when I shoot it!"
Seeing the giant mechanical bird Nightingale, Zack's first reaction was that it was time for a boss battle.
After all, it's just a large boss; who hasn't seen one before?
How many Lords of Cinder have I burned as firewood in "Dark Souls"?
I've slaughtered all sorts of ancient gods in "Bloodborne."
How tough can a mere mechanical bird be?
However, Booker isn't a Hunter or an Undead. The gun in his hand shot at the Nightingale, and besides the sparks flying, not even a health bar UI appeared.
Clearly, this giant mechanical bird is invincible, or rather, Booker can't fight it yet; a stronger weapon is needed to deal with it.
The frantic Nightingale directly smashed the giant angel statue. In this chaos, Booker and Elizabeth narrowly escaped.
In the air, Booker tightly grabbed Elizabeth and used the grapple hook to traverse the sky-rail, just like when Comstock made the airship crash earlier.
But compared to the leap of faith during the airship crash, this time it was more dangerous, the journey was longer, and it was a continuous leap from the air, not a single downward path.
From the air, one could admire the majestic beauty of the entire Sky-City Columbia. But as someone afraid of heights, Zack felt like he was about to pee himself.
Elizabeth's exclamations in his ears, the sound of the wind, and the rapidly passing white clouds made the whole process incredibly thrilling and perilous.
Finally, Elizabeth and Booker landed on a floating island used by citizens for vacation.
For Elizabeth, who had never seen people before, she was immediately captivated by this world she had never seen.
Looking at the excited Elizabeth, Booker, who was a little dazed from the fall, told her she could wander around this floating island, and he would take a moment to recover.
"Booker, I'll take a moment to recover with you, recover." Zack panted, still recovering from his shock.
Many times he still couldn't get used to it. Even in "World of Warcraft," the high-altitude scene with chains and lava in Blackrock Depths made him a little nervous.
After dozing on the beach for a while, Booker woke up and went to find Elizabeth.
He finally found Elizabeth dancing by the shore.
Having lived her whole life in a small house, Elizabeth had never seen the outside world.
Breathing the free air, Elizabeth was incredibly happy.
However, facing the reluctant-to-leave Elizabeth, Booker said that they could plan to take an airship to Paris, which Elizabeth had been longing for.
On the way, Zack found that they encountered the pair of siblings who had appeared before. Here, they could choose an ornament for Elizabeth.
They were a bird and a cage, which should symbolize restraint and freedom. After guessing, he wasn't sure if it would have any impact on the future. After thinking for a moment, Zack chose the bird ornament.
After wandering around the island for a while, the clouds dispersed in the sky, and the people on the island saw the damaged angel statue. Suddenly, the islanders became panicked.
The entire island went into lockdown, and all exits were guarded.
And then, Zack finally witnessed Elizabeth's role.
He could only say that this was definitely the most awesome NPC teammate he had ever encountered in a game.
It even far surpassed some human players, like Ben.
