I haven't read many arguments made by people who hated Infinite's story but I loved it because it does one thing really well: making shit up as you go. Which is why it works so well when I let my friends play it as movie. There are very few ways to not have fun when beautifully interesting things like, "He doesn't row", lighthouse rocket chair, the bird or the cage, Quantum Entanglement, a star wars reference keep surfacing up adding to an ever increasing thread of inquires and intrigues.

No matter what arguments someone may have against the story, it's hard to deny that it oozes fantastical details, mystery and lore.

There's a childlike wow-ness to the game because it doesn't pursue multiverse in the way we are so used to: on the nose. It lets the visuals of infinite lighthouses speak for itself.
