I say that based on preference and here's an IGN review from 2013 saying

Going in, I had to question whether Infinite could live up to the BioShock name after having discarded its signature world of Rapture, with its Big Daddies and Little Sisters and warring philosophies, and starting from scratch. On the way out, I'm forced to seriously question which is the better game.

I just think the story is better and I have a kind of autistic fascination with the Tea Party movement. I genuinely love Bioshock but I'd rather just re-read Atlas Shrugged and it's twist at the end is one step above "it was all a dream" IMO

Admittedly, I never read reviews from game journalists so I'm not sure what critic perception is like. I'm going off my anecdotal experience knowing many people that love the first game and were lukewarm on Infinite.

Ultimately, though, the story and overall atmosphere of BS1 suited my tastes but I can imagine some prefer those same aspects in Infinite. This is just the first time I've heard anyone suggest that Infinite is as good as the first entry, much less considered to be the best. It's certainly a good game in my eyes, though, so I'm happy you enjoy it as much as you do
