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.

The way you go about "getting it" makes the game seem and sound damn near amazing and perfect and yet a lot of reviews aren't pointing this out. surely it's just that you and some others like those aspects like you do other games that involve them and hardly see them as flaws, thuis not being able to see them as flaws for anything else.

Some will have also scored it lower due to their say on it, not all reviews are labeled as "it's bad because it's not my thing", that's an argument I see used a lot these days in a form to stave fof critism of a game or pointing out  it's flaws. The game has it's shortcomings like many games do and it's happening with NMS and some reviews.

We all have our own opinions but I feel it's naive to claim or state that the game is damn near perfect, not saying you are saying so, but I am getting vibes from the recently formed fandom of the game when it comes to them talking against "bad" reviews. It's no secret that I love Starbound but even I don't think that game is balls to the walls amazing like Jesus nor flawless.
