Bioshock Infinite *no spoilers*

What a game... Seriously, this was one of the best games I´ve played in a while, apart from having played the original Bioshock the day before because of not having been played it earlier.
But onto the box itself:
As the picture suggests, I got the Ultimate Songbird Edition with a ton of extras coming in the box. Many special editions of games haven´t had that many things happening in them, but Bioshock definitely made the box worth the price. 
-The songbird statue is really awesome-looking with the box housing it being made very much according to the world the game is set in.
-The artbook is nice, has a lot of concept art from the game, showing the conception of some of the characters during development. I just think it´s a shame that they didn´t put in the whole artbook, but only a small excerpt because for the price the collector´s edition was, they should´ve been able to put the book in its full form in my opinion.
-The Murder of Crows keychain, which is very detailed, though perhaps a bit big for a keychain.
-A handyman figurine, which is seriously too small for anything, and don´t understand why it´s even there
-A poster for the Devil´s Kiss vigor, which looks nice and I believe can also be found in the game, so a nice touch
-A digital soundtrack of the game, haven´t downloaded it, but the game´s music is nice so fine by me. Would´ve been nice as a physical CD, but that´s my personal choice

Only thing in the game itself that bothered me, was that all the loading screens had the same short piece of music that played over and over, and frankly bored me quite a lot by the end. But besides that, the gameplay itself was really good, and didn´t notice any flags or bugs while playing, which a lot of new games nowadays have right after release. (I´m looking at you, Assassin´s Creed 3)
The story was really good, and had those twists that I came to love in the first game in the franchise.
The game is realy beautyfull visually, and I was surprised how much difficulty there was in the game, even on normal because all enemies hit fairly hard which made the game a fun challenge. Wouldn´t have been much of an effort to finish the game if it´d been too easy.
I seriously recommend this game to everyone who likes a shooter, or just a good game overall, because Bioshock Infinite was possibly the best game so far for this year that I´ve played.
