So Xenoblade X has an 84 on metacritix because there is too much to do and the world is too big?

Or maybe while everything is good in the game, it's not great?

Something tells me that's probably not it since from what I've seen from more neutral sources, it's very, very solid. The only major complaints I've seen are nitpicks and admitted as such. For once I'd say a Nintendo game is under-scored so far, considering this is the sequel to the game that pretty much saved the classic-style JRPG. 

I just skimmed the Gameinformer review. The complaints seem legitimate to me - lots of grinding, some design flaws, things get repetitive. I dunno, it seems to me that if you focus on the nit picks, you'd only see those.
