All this review shows is that it just isn't your type of game. The fact that you were annoyed that you couldn't skip the cutscenes says it all really.

I was entertained through out the whole game , and it's biggest flaw is that there isn't enough of the good stuff. But that doesn't make the game bad, it just hade much more potential.

That's why in my opinion a game like this just can't score that low, because there is nothing broken. No game breaking bugs, no terrible gameplay mechanics. Just a good enjoyable experience that sometimes might feel to much like a cinematic experience. But for me that actually felt like a interesting change of pace.

I'd rather have to many cutscenes but care about the story and characters, then running around and maybe not even finish a game because i just don't care how it ends. (Like with Assassin's Creed: Unity).

If you need to tell yourself this "just isnt my type of game", then go ahead. Unskippable cut scenes are probably my #1 pet peeve in gaming. They affect replay value, achievement/trophy hunting, etc. Max Payne 3 is another game where if you wanna replay it you have to sit through every cut scene again until the game stops loading, and I loved the gunplay and gameplay in MP3. It has nothing to do with "this type of game" :)

Another difference with this game is the story is garbage. So that makes not being able to skip some scenes even worse. 

The game can score low when it emphasizes story over gameplay but fails in both areas. It has at least one terrible game feature, the AI. And lots of lesser offenses that add up.
