Were people angry because it was low or high? I'd give it a lower score personally, though I've still seen some people argue it's a perfect game

I'd say it deserves a perfectly mediocre 5. Everything it does is better in other games, and the one thing it's supposed to do (exploration) is better in their other games. I live sci-fi so I was willing to overlook a lot of issues, but I think the biggest letdown is that the sci-fi stories it tells are boring as hell and don't actually make use of the genre. If they really wanted to make a sci-fi game they should have been ready to tell interesting sci-fi stories. Instead they gave up all the strengths of their other games to tell uninteresting stories.

They thought 7 was too low. And I totally agree with you, I would’ve given it like a 6 or 5.
