Depends on how you look at it.
- If you consider it just as standalone Larian CRPG (which are party based megadungeon crawlers masquerading as CRPGs) with AAA budget, which what most mainstream journalist (that usually don't know much about CRPGs, or are versed with 10 or so last years of the genre at the most) who gave all those rave reviews did, then it's pretty good game.
- If you consider it as a proper CRPG with flashed-out world and not a beautiful theme park waiting for the player to show up, then it's pretty weak.
- If you consider it as video game version of D&D 5e, then it's fairly mediocre.
- If you consider it as direct successor to Baldur's Gate 1&2, then it pretty terrible.
