You were talking about Metacritic and green outlet critics pumping up the score. And yeah most critics are positive. If you look at Opencritic where all 173 reviews for all platforms are combined it has a mighty status, 85% critics recommended.
Steam user reviews is, well, user reviews. Always difficult to judge, especially if it's cool to hate on a game for whatever exaggerated reason. You can only give thumbs up or down so no middle ground there.
Still says mostly positive though and have 40-60k concurrent players on work days and higher numbers over weekends so I don't see what's more to say about that, lots of people obviously enjoy playing it.
There is no multiplayer and co-op but it's still doing well and have more concurrent players than many single-player-only games see as their peak values, only just now dropped off the top 10 most played list 1.5 months after the release.
It's no doubt a divisive game but you shouldn't think everyone who like it is "green" and put up some fake score to boost a review score.
