I consider it a great game, fantastic even. The combination of good story, terrific narration, great characters, great visuals and good music teamed with great gameplay is terribly rare and only found in a handful of titles that I can think of.
It is also a more adult and deeper take on a genre that has delved more into the gory, childish and stylized format for the most part and it manages to lend a sense of urgency by not allowing the player to grow overpowered, instead making you think and consider and then reconsider even small moves in the more hostile environments.
It's easily among the best I played in the 7th generation and I see it as a proper classic. However; I understand where the OP is coming from and how he might not see it that way, this genre, setting, tone and style of expression in gameplay and pacing is not for everyone.
There are plenty of games that received wildly positive reviews and community love that I simply cannot seem to enjoy as much as they do, or even at all.
