It's not just you. Don't trust review scores either. A game with this much advertising (often on the same sites that review the game ... conflict of interest anyone?), is pretty much going to get 85+ review score no matter what the quality of the game is.
When it comes down to it, the game is, as I mentioned in another thread, Call of Duty meets Sliders with some very light RPG elements thrown in. There is nothing really remarkable or innovative about it aside from its rather nice visuals and original setting. Not that Bioshock 1 was a classic or anything, but it at least made the player think on occasion with the Big Daddy encounters (remember setting traps, hacking turrets and other things, switching out plasmids for the situation, ect). Combat in Bioshock Infinite is just a "kill everything and anything that moves" with big guns, lots of explosions, ect. ect. experience.
It's a fun game though don't get me wrong, but it is not the "best game of the generation" or even a great game for that matter. The reviewers that gave it 9's and 10's have an active financial incentive to rate it so high. The fans that are calling it GOTY and "game of the generation" are the same type that probably said the same thing about Mass Effect 3 last year, and Red Dead Redemption a few years back ... in other words, they have a new "game of the generation" every 6 months or so.
