I can see why there are low scores although I thought more reviewers would 'get it'. I personally predicted 84 metacritic and I would rate the game 9 outta 10. Early indication show the best to hope for is mid seventies.
It's immensely impressive what this small team have achieved.

I predicted something near the 80's but it doesn't look like it;s going to happen.

What do you mean specifically by reviewers "getting it"?. It's not the most complex/deep game in the world that needs to be played in the most specific of ways in order to understand the game.

By not 'getting it's I mean that some things that are the strength of NMS is seen as a negative. Like the complaining about the initial grind. For me that's a strength, you have to work for the cool stuff, it's not given to you. It makes anything you achieve in the game much more rewarding. 

But I also get why some give it low scores because it's not their thing. I do feel scoring it a 5 in very unfair though, games in that range are poor broken messes. NMS is not in that range. But that's just my opinion about somebody else opinion lol.
