Why is the whole gaming journalism on Kojima's d***?

The bolded is why it's praised highly. Sure the world is empty, there's a bunch of filler missions with the same objective and a bunch little annoyances, but the core gameplay is phenomenal.

By that logic, every Zelda game is flawless.

To be fair, the first Zelda game that implemented what's come to be known as the "core gameplay" of 3D Zelda games (Ocarina of Time) is the highest rated game of all time, despite suffering some a few similar issues, such as a very empty world, fetch quests, and forced stealth section(s).

If more games had come out in the past that had combined stealth with an open world, chances are these flaws would get addressed more in reviews.
