It has bad reviews for the same reasons most games got bad reviews: expectations. It looks beautiful and it seemed they put a lot of work into the mechanics (although the age system is controversial) and on release both these things were true but there were major problems they hid in the pre launch promotion, the biggest one is the UI. Everyone who got early access to review/be sponsored (some months in advanced) told them to fix the UI to make the game perfect. But they did not, and it is still very flawed. If it had maybe a few more months in development it would be a great game.

Oh also Denuvo, pushing DLC despite the work needed on the base game and the high prices probably aren't helping reviews.

It's worth mentioning I haven't played it yet (waiting for a sale), I am just repeating what friends/content creators who weren't bribed by T2 have told me.
