Ok, one example of what OP is saying...
Polygon gave it 70 - the lowest score on Metacritic - and a lot of the critics goes to the HUD system. The review sums up in the last sentence:
Xenoblade Chronicles X finds itself in a constant struggle between scale and bloat. When I crested over the game's first mountaintop and saw a dinosaur drinking from a lake in the valley below, it was amazing — one of those rare video game moments that can be described as "epic" without hyperbole. But the UI is just one example of how X gets in its own way, hiding its beautiful world beneath overly complicated and under-explained systems that just don't add enough. Monolith Soft has once more created something special under the Xenoblade name; it just happens to have buried that something special under a mountain of annoyances.

The problem here is that apparently, the reviewer haven't used the Options Menu, specially the HUD Settings! You can turn on/off a lot/all of them! He criticizes the game because he can't see the beautiful world but he just needed to disable some checkboxes =(
He should watch Digital Foundry's Tech-Analysis Video to learn how to use it.

Yeah, that's the only thing one can get from that quote. ¬_¬
"[...]hiding its beautiful world beneath overly complicated and under-explained systems that just don't add enough. "
That part, you didn't read it well or conveniently chose to ignore it.

I didn't ignore it. I din't say the game is perfect.
Did you read this review? Did you see how much he complains about the HUD?
It seems that you ignore the fact that the reviewer is complaining about nothing.
EDIT: You're right. My bad. He knows the existance of the HUD Options.
