Nobody really knew what the core gameplay would be in the end...

What?! Everybody knew! It was the tenor of the last couple of month leading up to the release. With details about the gameplay and how the world you traverse through is structered. Impossible to miss when you followed the news, watched gameplay videos.

However, im not doubting people were unsure if they would be into this kind of game. There isn't really anything comparable, a "tangible reference". I myself am uncertain if a game with "hiking simulation" at its core is for me. Never became a fan of walking simulators or Shadow otC. I like playing the SotC remake from time to time though. 

Add: An explanation to why the wide range of ratings.

Offtopic: FGS, writing a comment (via phone) on this website is becoming worse and worse. 

Everybody knew?  People expected much more, a bit like MGS2 when we saw a lot of snake but Raiden felt like a mystery till the game's release. And well you said yourself  'There isn't really anything comparable'   this isn't a sport game this is trying to be unique but I felt like in most cases the right postive reviewers reviewed it...even when the score seems high compared to the words they used :).
