I havent played it yet, but can anyone tell me why the tiger regains its health? Is it just glitchy?

It's a heavily flawed game, but I don't know if I'd put much stock into Jim Sterling's impression on it. He's been a fan of many DW games, yes, but this one diverges from the formula. I think he's not a fan of open world stuff in general.

It runs around 20fps on X1X and PS4 Pro. That is legit unacceptable.

Well, personally I feel the open world doesn't really add anything to the game. Sieges are pointless because you can grapple up a castle and kill the commander and most other battles are a flat field with a target or two that you kill to finish the mission. There's a bunch of nothing in between points and it takes too long to traverse for little benefit. I've fallen through the floor once, which merely brought me back tog round level, and through bridges countless times, which means I need to swim to shore or find a cliff to grapple up. I've never really had that issue with previous DW games, probably because there's far fewer places they need to test collision.

Can't really say much of how it runs on console though because I'm playing on PC. It has some demanding settings, but turning off particle effects can net me almost perfect 60 on a 1080. It's not well optimised.

This topic did a great job at describing the problems and discouraging me from ever wanting to play it
