Considering the flurry of early reviews (45 only, all glowing, access journalism much? It's veilguard 2.0) are responsible for the brunt of that 86 score and 24h later most reviews were already between 7 and 8, I'd be very cautious with this. If you already susbscribe to gamepass, give it a go, but I would not spend serious money on a game where most reviews write that the game is broken and there are serious problems with pacing, perspective shifts, bugs and then 10/10. Wait for a discount or a couple reviews from tubers you follow and have similar taste or, conversely, get it on gamepass.
