That's a bit of cherry-picking though. Almost all reviews seem to range from 7,5 to 8,5 with a few lower ones dragging down the overall score.

It absolutely is. Not to whinge over the state of the gaming press as I'm not one of those guys, but with that said I personally stack weight behind EG's reviews before looking elsewhere. Not to say that they are the best/most objective in their field, but rather that they are consistent and don't seem to pander to publishers. Happy to hear of any other sites that leave others feeling the same.

..and to be honest, after reading a bit more the game doesn't look bad, only middling.

Well just saying, there are 59 reviews on there right now, and only 8 of them score a 6,5 and lower. I doubt that all of them are pandering to publishers, most seem pretty legit and realistic about the issues they have with the game.

That said, I don't think the game was ever meant to do anything groundbreaking anyway, so it being mid seems alright to me.
