I've read a few Steam reviews and all the 'thumb downs' I see mainly say the game was not ready, not that the game is bad, but that it lacks polish (typos, placeholder text, etc). Since I don't care about that, as long as the underlying game is solid, seems to me the game may actually be good with a few weeks of patching.
I noticed that too. What I haven't heard much about is the AI or the pacing, both of which are much more important to me. Early access reports suggested that the AI was poor, but I suspect that it will be a few weeks before anything can really be confirmed in the release version.
Either way, waiting a few weeks (or months or years) to play a 4X game is usually a good thing. Even the best often take considerable post release development before they shine.
