This matches my experience. I played it for 50 hours on PC (and I am a very lazy gamer, typically I get tired of everything in one hour), and didn't encounter any breaking bugs. Overall, it's a very enjoyable story-driven game, although "AI is more A than I".

My explanation for the outrage is that in the past few years quite a few people made youtube careers bashing AAA games. Making outrage videos a lucrative business, apparently, and the new generation of wannabe game journalists jumped on the train.
