I'm surprised to see generally positive reviews given just how entirely Mid the previews all looked.

Starfield was the same. Looked pretty meh, but almost all (initial) reviewers gave it high marks. It wasn't until people started playing that the truthful reviews surfaced. Guessing either paid reviews, or reviewers having a skewed view of what makes a game great.
