Except it wasn't just praised for its visuals and story, both players and critics were rather open about how damn good everything was, gameplay included.
You're free to believe it was average, but you're making a pretty baseless assumption in saying that almost every critic and gamer who played it magically wouldn't have noticed if 90% of the game was simply "average" :P Story is great, but without some unique hook (such as the control games like HR or TWD gave you over the story) it will never and has never been a singular basis for critical acclaim. Nor have visuals for that matter.
