I played it earlier this year after having played the first 2 only (and that was 10-15 years ago). Infinite is a good game, graphics hold up beautifully. I wouldn't say it's one of the greatest of all time but it was a very good game regardless.

Probably there was a hype cycle at the time of its release that I wasn't aware of, as that's the only way I see it as being regarded as meh.

Honestly it's just more Bioshock, but set in the clouds rather than underwater, I liked the change of style.

All three games are master pieces in my opinion. 3 is just different from the previous two, so people dont like that. I say play them all and appreciate them for what they are.

Some people say it’s one of the best games of all time and some that it’s overrated and meh.

Hah, it’s in between.

It had a lot of nostalgia glasses haters, a lot of “GOTY!” industry marketing, and a few launch performance issues IIRC. But it’s a good game.

Won’t get more specific than that, other than just play it!

Infinite is great. I have never and will never understand why people shit on it. It makes zero sense.

BioShock infinite was ok experince on linux, I have completed it twice. (The native binary runs via its own internal translation scheme, so I suggest running via dxvk/proton instead for more speed.) I would say however that it'll be a lot more hollow and straight forward "pipe run" than its predecessors. I own bioshock 2, but it's dead, obsolete M$hit only version that i haven't played since it eated my save files three times.
