There are a lot of fantastic video games coming out every year. And there are classics that we continue to visit over and over. Among all of these universes, journeys, challenges, and adventures, it can be hard to know where to pick your next one from. One great place to start is with a killer deal, like this one on Bioshock Infinite, which is only $7.99 (reg. $29) with code BFSAVE20 during our Early Access Black Friday Sale. This Mac-compatible game can only be redeemed on Steam.

A critically-acclaimed first-person shooter game, Bioshock Infinite is filled with engaging battles and fantastic storylines. It has a 94% rating on Metacritic and tons of positive reviews on Steam. The story follows Booker DeWitt, who is in debt to some scary people, and becomes a hired gun. As a veteran of the U.S. Cavalry, DeWitt is a captivating hero as he works to rescue a mysterious girl named Elizabeth who was imprisoned. The game has a number of cool features.

One of its main settings is a floating city in the sky named Columbia. When playing, you can soar amongst the clouds and explore this gorgeous, technological marvel. The mission is unexpected and really engaging as it's set in 1912 and full of more surprises. Throughout it, you'll learn how to time travel, access cool powers like throwing fireballs and shooting lightning, and you'll be able to try out custom combat experiences with various weapons. Upon finishing, you can unlock a secret game mode called 1999 Mode, which gives players a taste of a more nostalgic game design.
