It will get punished for no multiplayer, but I am happy that it has no multiplayer and it was 100% focused on the SP game.
Some critics will feel the need to validate their early negative impressions and try to find ways to mark it down (see aforementioned lack of multiplayer). Other reviewers will be willing to admit they're wrong if that is warranted. The end result will be a middling metascore, at best, which will affect sales. But when the year washes up I think people will recognise that the reviews were overly critical.
