I really wish these media outlets would stop saying No Multiplayer is a "Con" or "Bad" in their reviews. When a conscience choice was made not to include multiplayer (especially when that forum post explains it so well), you can't mark points off a game for that. It's like taking points away from Half-Life 2 because it didn't have RPG elements. If a developer does not include a specific feature and they have good reason not to, the reviewer needs to accept this as a design choice rather than treating it as a negative because a feature he wanted was not included.
