Although I agree with pretty much every other respect, I have to disagree with the gameplay a little bit. I think if anything they've decided to deviate from the traditional gun and shoot and make the player put an emphasis on the more uncommonly used mehanics such as Vigours and Elizabeth, I don't think I've seen either of these things implemented so well into a game for a long time. The salt costs etc make you consider how to employ the vigours effectively, and the fact that the ammo, gun and health cache's are just a one off(not restocking after use) makes it all the harder(well it was on hard, not sure about the other modes).

The story was simply mindblowing, don't think I've been engrossed in a story like this for a long while. I think it can stretch a 9 easily, well in my opinion anyway.

Salt etc. are just a minor inconveniance imo, since Elizabeth just refreshes your stock if you need it. For example, I have been using the first Rocket Launcher I got for the entire game, since it was just not possible to run out off ammo (Normal difficulty). The vigors are really fun, but I don't think they can completely outweight the gunplay.

But like I stated in my final verdict, you can easily make the score a 9.5 if you give the story more weight (which I actually do outside of this review, btw.), but that's not something I can do in a review.

You should play it on Hard or even the 1999 mode, the Handymen are fucking impossibru. And one story mission in particular, you can probably guess which one, I think it was just stretched out just to make the player rage more and extend the gameplay by a good 1-2 hours. And Elizabeth really doesn't restock as much on Hard, found myself strapped for ammo a lot too, mainly used Shotgun/SMG combo. But although you can pretty much spam your way by just using the Jockey on the minis.
