Not really. It's actually pretty good. Microsoft just did jack all to market it for some reason.
It also did have some controversy at the start.
First is because of a granular difficulty customization, down to even having a slider to slow or increase the speed of the game itself. Some elitists got butt hurt over it.
Second is that it is a slower pace overall compared to the experience that 2016 and Eternal were. So, when it didn't play like people expected, it caused some friction.
Oh also, Microsoft forced it to be $70. So a lot of gamers just didn't buy it out of principle.
