From what I've gathered this is a somewhat flawed game with some significant redeeming features. Sure it's garnered a little bit of hate but this is par for the course for any exclusive that isn't unequivocally excellent.
I would consider that if 'our' concept of a review system, as represented by Metacritic over the past few years, wasn't completely broken, a 6-7/10 game should be one that a number of people will still find significantly enjoyable. That seems to be the case here.
So maybe just maybe the reviews actually got it 'right' this time?
