So... is Dragons Dogma 2 ACTUALLY not good?

I know that new releases can be subject to review bombs from the hivemind and if a narrative gains traction and snowballs, it can determine the fate of the game's review scores and reputation, despite not aligning with reality.

That's been the case for me with Lords of the Fallen. Everyone said it was awful and it got review bombed at launch but I think it's a perfectly good game.

And with Wu Kong, everyone talks like it's god's gift to gaming, and I think it's a decent enough game but it isn't a 10/10 masterpiece like the narrative would have you believe.

So, narratives and hive minds aside, let's think for ourselves here. Is dragon's dogma 2 ACTUALLY deserving of its mediocre reputation?

What do you think?
