Story/world is enchanced with the side quests otherwise it's a straight line if you stick only to main story.
I doubt that any reviewers completed that (lol) > http://i.imgur.com/XiX5RsK.jpg

Most of the HUD can be hidden as far as I know.

Just because a review is an outlier it's not a reason to ignore it. And it's not like 7's a bad score even.
Read it and disagree with it all you want though, but no reason to be a fanboy (no offense).

Ah that explains it. Maybe he did mention it and I forgot because the main takeaway (other than the game looks great) was Vinny's multiple crab voices.

Come on now, Polygon is not well-liked here for a lot of reasons. Best to pay them no mind. Outliers from other sources sure, but not Polygon.
I'm not being a fanboy, a 7 from anyone else is fine.
you can turn off various elements of the HUD or the entire thing if you want
The game just isn't for you and that is just fine but for the rest of us, x gonna give it to ya
Probably hoping for insanely low scores.

Otero's is late because he can't find the skells.
He looked in every bush too.

Or people can read their review instead of shitting on it for no reason other than "the score is too low, they're just an outlier!" Actual discussion is better than blanket statements that aren't backed up at all. But from your posts, looks like you don't have anything substantial to contribute about it.

Good to see my winter hibernation game getting high scores. Looking forward to settling in the cold season with this one.
I've seen almost no review talking about the characters and Eurogamer only glances at any of the themes the game tackles.
These reviews are all about the exploration side.

Yeah I know, but a lot of people still clung on to those negative impressions. It's something that happens all the time here and on other gaming forums - for most things, people put much more stock in the negatives than in the positives.
Excellent critical reception. I am pleased.
Fuck, who am I kidding. I have this game pre-ordered and paid for since June. It might have scored in the low 2-s and I still would have played it for hundreds of hours.
This game is the sole reason I still haven't thrown away my WiiU (zero hopes for Zelda right now).

Very, at least on some communities (like 1UP). "It's essentially a 2D Kingdom Hearts, but mediocre", I believe was the consensus.

Glad to see this getting killer reviews. Anyone know if a casual RPG player like me would need the guide for this game? Can I go it alone?

That review complained a lot about the HUD, which can be turned off though.
Maybe they will re-review it.

Re-reading the review it states this:
That's a shame. Sounds like some of the clutter is necessary to do the things you need to do.

Yeah. They were very harsh on Ni No Ku Ni also.
There isn't much of a story and it's spread thin across what's mainly character-driven side quests. It takes multiple hours to unlock the next story mission, and there aren't a lot.
The game's bread and butter are affinity quests, which are goofy little character vignettes.
WTF are you talking about? TWEWY was critically acclaimed by press and people alike.

7 is a good score. If someone gave the original that score I wouldn't flinch. Its not like 7 means trash people.
The fact that he's dedicating so much space to the UI is a bit strange for me, And somehow contradictory.
Because he says:
but then
So either it's useless info (not dedicated to you) or useful info, pick one.
So even Polygon mentions that you can turn off the HUD parts.

he's talking about import impression
It's below Polygon's average review score of 7.2.
I don't think anything will be stranger than the mindset that some people adopted as a result of Kotaku's import review that this wasn't going to do well with reviewers and seemed undeterred in that determination. I don't even think it was fanboy shenanigans, either; just doom and gloom where it was largely unwarranted.

7 isn't really a good score for games years and years in the making.
Technically, it's a good score but in all actuality, not really.
Yep, people are too quick to jump on things without reading them.
