It's narratively shoddy compared to its predecessors. That's my big one.

It's already been mentioned, but the whole "both sides are bad" message for Founders/Vox is absolutely off-base, to the point where when you're fighting Vox they have the exact same combat units as the Founders, just slightly different weapons.

Plasmids tied into the theming of Bioshock with it being a product of the rare processed material that everyone's fighting over and a result of their objectivist ideals leading to "forbidden" research. Vigors are just... there. Because we needed to have Plasmids, right?

I feel the "infinite worlds" story was the one they wanted to tell, which is why they focused so poorly on the "racism is bad" premise of the setting.
