Bioshock Infinite at 94, I will also never understand, that is maybe the biggest offender actually, to me it felt like drained all the suffistication out of the original and instead made this dumb arena-style shooter, but with mediocre gunplay. Out of all the 90+ scoring games on metacritic I have tried, this is probably the one that feels the most painful to actually play.

I agree with this one. Ken Levine really over-promised and under-delivered with this one. The Boys of Silence were supposed to be these huge menaces that roamed Columbia in the promotional material. In the final game, they were basically security cameras. I also thought Columbia would be more of an open-world exploration. It deserved mid-80s at best.
