Were people angry because it was low or high? I’d give it a lower score personally, though I’ve still seen some people argue it’s a perfect game
I’d say it deserves a perfectly mediocre 5. Everything it does is better in other games, and the one thing it’s supposed to do (exploration) is better in their other games. I live sci-fi so I was willing to overlook a lot of issues, but I think the biggest letdown is that the sci-fi stories it tells are boring as hell and don’t actually make use of the genre. If they really wanted to make a sci-fi game they should have been ready to tell interesting sci-fi stories. Instead they gave up all the strengths of their other games to tell uninteresting stories.

People who hate the game think it’s too high. People who like the game think it’s too low.
They thought 7 was too low. And I totally agree with you, I would’ve given it like a 6 or 5.
