I've enjoyed a lot of games that were 70s-80s on Metacritic and I've hated quite a few games in the 90s range on MC. Metacritic is another tangent entirely that I'm too tired tonight to go off on.
That said, it seemed like 7th generation reviewers tended to glad-hand certain games and certain publishers. I think Gerstmanngate and Ubisoft pulling ad revenue from EGM/1UP over a less-than-kind review of the first Assassin's Creed had a chilling effect on game reviewers. Then, in this generation, there always seems to be one reviewer that just has to be "that one guy" that docks a game that everybody else loves. The only reviews of games that really affect me are games that are obviously broken. Otherwise, I just buy what I want.
