You should want to read the critis in question, I don't think any one of the critics says the game is an uter failure (it would have gotten a rating between 1 and 3)... but it really depends on how the critics were bothered by the apparent down sides of the game: it may be a bit repetitive in nature... and the environments were not varied enough to some people's taste.
That was in the eyes of some completly outweighted by the great story, good acting, amazing game play/fast action.
What's not sure: did all the reviewers get the 1.01 patch in time? (it fixes some of the tediousness apparently)
Now a newer console will not guarantee all games are "better" I have been gaming since the 8-bit NES days and still go back to some very old games from time to time and they still provide great entertainment... I really like the new toys and how the PS4 performs, but it's only as good as the games on it, I think this one can either please or bore someone depending on their preferences and how they play it, also, replaying it differently may help people who say the campaign is "short" as there are two completely different set of missions.
