Basically, this game is and will be a monopoly in the genre until Star Citizen get released.
Until then, even with all the complains and frustration, Frontier has not any kind of pressure to make the game shine and you have no other choice but to just go with it.

I regret not playing Portal sooner.
Somewhat short singleplayer campaign, but with increasingly challenging puzzles and funny dialoges.
For 2$..
I can't ask for more.

Don't worry, the review is spoiler-free. I describe just the main elements and mechanics.

GAMEPLAY: At heart, the game is a story-driven third-person shooter. In addition, you can use very cool "chronon powers" and it has a cinematic feel (you may want to record/screenshot your gameplay).
The game is divided in acts and each of them is divided in parts. A live-action episode concludes each act as the final part. The content of the episode, the level design and the progression of each character depend on your choices. All parts are conveniently placed in a Timeline which is accessible anytime. The percentage of gameplay vs. cutscenes & episodes is about 70% vs. 30%.
There is some replayability since you may replay desicion making missions and change the course of story, but don't expect more than 25-30 hours to do and read everything.
(It took me about 12 hours to reach 100%, without skipping cutscenes in my main playthrough, replaying 3-4 parts for collectibles I missed, in normal difficulty. Although, I didn't change my desicions to see the different outcomes.)

SOUND & VOICE ACTING: Great cast, great acting, great sound effects and soundtrack. Really nothing to complain.

GRAPHICS & TECHNICAL: Very good visuals, smooth transition between scenes and gameplay, 1080p/57~60fps on max settings (RX 480), bug free in my experience.
The loading times could be better since it may take 30-60" to load from the main menu (installed on SSD). Also I would preffer to have the option to pre-download all episodes, even if the installation size grow up considerably. You must have a decent internet connection to stream them. The video quality of the episode depends on your bandwidth (~10MBps=FHD)

STORY & DIALOGES: If you're a fan of sci-fi, you gonna love it. The scenario is one of the best in games I've ever played. It is robust with a great idea to built upon and minimal logic inconsistency. Sure, there is no scientific explanation to support the "chronon powers", but the philosophy of the time-traveling concept behind the story is pretty rational. That amazed me since many well received "sci-fi " movies/TV series/games are crap in their actuall science philosophy and technicality.

For me the game just fell short of expectations, especially considering the 96% praise on steam. Very nice implementation on some aspects, but with only two choices [Yes/No], it's closer to no. The game is far from a masterpiece, so I can't recommend it to everybody.

+ incredible voice acting (easily in the TOP 10 I've ever encountered)
= mediocre gameplay (in-part a stealthy approach on bioshock, with ups & downs)
- ugly graphics for a closed-world 2012 game, forgettable story (below average of the main game, average of the dlcs)

Nevertheless, if you're fan of stealth, give it a try.

Beautiful design, great gameplay, deep story, captivating soundtrack.

If you haven't played Bioshock, I suggest to play them in order (although you may skip Bioshock 2 in my opinion). That way the dlcs of Infinite will be much more rewarding because they explain the connection between 1 and 3.

Got the game with a humble bundle.

On the technical side: it's locked at 30 FPS, no antialiasing, the transitions between scenes are far from smooth, there is some stuttering through the whole game (scenes & gameplay), bad scaling, In essence, a bad pc port

Design: the menus reminds me of really old games (not in a nostalic way), generic soundtrack

Gameplay: the key mapping is one of the worst (both keyboard & gamepad), limited amount of moves, too much grinding (devs, if you want your game to last, put more content) total of 8-9 main missions excluding the mini games

Story: stupid/cringy/childish story and dialoges that make no sense.

On the positive side Someone could say that there are some cool scenes and some laughs on the stupidity of the dialoges.

There's no point to praise the Bioshock series. In my - and popular- opinion the series are must-have for every gamer.

The remastered edition in my experience:
Crash free/bug free at 60< fps.
No graphics options.
Suprisingly, runs flawlessly on r7 260x, which is above minimum/below recommended gpu.
I haven't tried, nor i'm going to test it with a gamepad.

The most addictive game i've played by far... It has some drawbacks. The biggest disadvantage is that after some turns, aproximately at modern/atomic era, you get bored. Rome II total war has the civil war mechanism to keep you interested.
