It's about priorities. A reviewer is allowed to have them. There are a lot of things to focus in a game. I for example couldn't give a shit about graphics or story or even combat in open world games. It's all about the journey and the freedom.
So while Elex might suck in those things the most important aspect for me, the world and freedom, are perfect. So other drawbacks won't count for much. And really, world building of Piranha Bytes is as great as it can get.
Now look at trash like BOTW. It's very polished but absolutely hates freedom and only delivers an extremely bland and boring world. Most of the reviewers prioritised being annoyed and bored to death, so it got great scores. Which is fine.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
