Based on everything I've heard of it, this seems a bit too high.

It's not. I personally love the game, but it has a lot of flaws and that number seems about right to me. I think it's a better game than Fallout 4.

Some of the storylines are fantastic, but they're pretty disjointed from the rest of the world. Some of them feel like they have loose ends that didn't get finished in time.

There are several game systems that are neat, but unfinished, and superfluous.

I really don't understand the dog pile this game has gotten.

I am fine with most of the game. It's basically what I expected from a Bethesda game.

Two things stand out for me in different ways:

  1. The space travel feels implemented in a way that seems to show their helplessness in getting it right. It ends up with a weird mix of Freelancer and just lazy fast travel and the game doesn't portrait a clear line for me what it would actually expect me to do with it and how they would like me to travel. Especially since even the "manual" travel involves a lot of kinda-fast-travel steps. It's just weird.
  2. No maps in cities. It's the damn future with space travel across the universe and they forgot how to cartograph cities or planets? Come on!

That no maps thing really got me. It is so stupid.

I encountered like 10 more shops after I thought I already explored New Atlantis completly. And then it turns out there is an entire sewer system full of people.
