Bioshock Infinite pulls the same trick that generic action movies do: It looks cool and seems better in the moment than it does thinking back.
I played it at release, I loved it and it was crazy, and then when I thought back on it... it's so fine? It's an average shooter with a fairly milquetoast story with a fairly milquetoast twist, carried by a couple of interesting lead characters.
When I tried it again a couple of years ago, I realized how short it was, and how much of it was just so incredibly hollow. It's fine. It's a generic, average FPS with a kind of interesting gimmick that feels worse and worse the more you think about it in retrospect.
Then again, it's cheaper than a movie and will kill like 8-10 hours on a first playthrough, so it's probably not a bad investment.
