Bioshock Infinite

Bioshock Infinite's narrative ambition collapses under scrutiny for some critics, revealing a shooter that leaned more on story than mechanical depth. Irrational Games' 2013 release earned a 94 Metacritic score at launch, lauded for its Columbia setting and multiverse plot, but critics have since noted its simplified combat, a limited eight-weapon arsenal, and a timeline that contradicts itself on close analysis. The game sold about 4 million copies by 2014.
