why? It has so much positive reviews

You can happily play Bioshock Infinite first, although it does contains some nods to the earlier games.

But the optional 'Burial at Sea' DLC is a different matter, as this contains spoilers for Bioshock 1.

Ideally, the best order to play would be Bioshock 1 before Bioshock Infinite since even the base game of Infinite contains several spoilers for and tie ins to Bioshock 1.

I'd say go 1, 2, then Infinite mostly because if you start with Infinite it's sorta a step back, at least it was for me. In Infinite you use both hands, in 1 you switch between weapons and plasmids with one hand...i didn't like it since i was used to the 2-hand method.

Honestly, 1 and 2 are sorta their own little world and Infinite is by itself. Honestly the only thing that ties them together is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending of Infinite and the lame DLCs. I think that Ken Levine decided to end Irrational Games during the making of Infinite when it was like 80% done and that's why Infinite has the weird ending it does that seems tacked on with a pseudo-science pseudo-philosophical explaination. Then the DLCs are just lame attempts to explain further and tie everything together. The story could have been so much better but because Levine was ending things it's all hobbled together...in my opinion.

Play just the first one and then infinite. Trust me.

yeah bioshock 2 isnt really following the storyline between 1 and infinite but i recommend playing all they are very good games

[COOKIES]

inifite is before one，play inifite first，than 1 2 by you

[Vox Populi]

I beat infinite and want to play Bioshock 1 & 2 and await for future DLC and everything make sense in whole story BUT DON"T PLAY DLC after you beat Infinite to BioShock and then 2nd finally wrap up finish DLC of Infinite in right orders.

[Potato PC]

You can play only Bioshock Infinite and understand the story, but it would be better if you play the prequel first.
If you think Bioshock 1 is not that good, i recommend you to skip Bioshock 2 because it's not as good as Bioshock 1.

But, if you want to play the DLCs, at least you must play Bioshock 1.

[Jimmi Stixx]

Just play the first one and forget the rest.

I played Infinite first and loved it so much that I played the others. They were all very good and it didn't really matter that I played Infinite first. Its story is really its own compared to the other games, however playing the first two did make some parts of Infinite more clear to me

[Doyle]

I would play Bioshock 1 than infinite than 2
