BioShock Infinite And The Mirror In The Sky
Mark Serrels, Kotaku Australia
BioShock |
In Infinite Ayn Rand’s Objectivism is replaced with another type of extremism — christian fundamentalism. The objectivist slogans that accompanied you as you plunged into Rapture are replaced by religious ones as you explore Columbia. The imposing statue of Andrew Ryan replaced by statues of Comstock. Plasmids replaced with Vigors. Big Daddies replaced by Firemen. [....] Comstock is no match for Ryan; religious fundamentalism feels like a worn subject where BioShock’s reading of objectivism felt blindingly original.
