Yep, seems like competent enough that if you like the type of game and can ignore minor flaws and graphic not being very high quality you'll have good fun.

Nobody's saying you can't have fun. It's a question of, relative to its cost and other games in its genre, HOW much fun are you having? Mediocre games can be fun, but when you stack everything up it just doesn't compare to its contemporaries. THAT is why it's getting middling or poor reviews, it's a disappointment to most. And those who play games for a living have played a LOT of games and find this one in particular to be boring, uninspired, repetitive, and lacking in polish. It's not a BAD game, but it's not a particularly good game, either. It exists. It's barely competent, and other games do what it does better. 

I know no one said it. And I know people are trying to use "I had fun there after the critics are wrong". But some people will have plenty of fun even if others think it's very bad.

Not worth $60. So why not try it on gamepass, then might as well try the other games there for te same $10. 

This kind of mediocre game is perfect advertisement for gamepass. Maybe this game was a disappointment on purpose. Maybe future xbox games are headed for the same fate. not to push sales or quality but to push gamepass subs.

Doesn't seem much logical to push bad or mediocre as incentive to sell a platform. I rather not play even for free a bad game. So I doubt MS plan on doing the games mediocre to advertise gamepass.
