Forums - Gaming Discussion - Your favourite game with a Meta below 75, and why

Apparently Furi has a 74 rating. Reviewers must have been not concentrating that day. Reason, it's awesome.

I can't go deeper into the database however, most my favourite games are PS1 games and don't have a meta score. Devil Dice for example.

Holy shit!! Someone else played devils dice! In my opinion one of the most overlooked games. And one of my favourites. A great concept perfected in gameplay.

Oh and resident evil 6. Vast improvement on 5.



I would really have to see the full list of reviews to say it, because I like plenty of games and there are probably a lot of them below 75 that I don't even know the score.

Probably Fire Emblem Warriors. Honestly it's a game that really shouldn't be where it is, but its score got tanked hard by a couple of reviews written by people who essentially state up front that they don't even like Warriors games.

FE: Warriors is fucking great. It's a great mix of Warriors insaneness with FE's strategy elements. My most played Switch game, definitely deserves better treatment than it got.



Stubbs The Zombie (75 meta) comes to mind. That game was clever and fun. Running around and creating a mini zombie horde was the best. I feel like the game should have gotten at least an 85 meta.

I don't remember the meta, or if meta was even around, but Advent Rising on the original XBOX. Its got panned bad, but I loved it.

Nier (68), Drakengard 3 (61), and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (66) are the ones that immediately popped into my head. LR was really the perfect FF fan game. So much love put into it to really appeal to hardcore fans of the series.

Nier was just a big ole miss from the critics. One of my all time favorite games.

I tried looking for more but Metacritic is pooping itself at the moment.

One of my favourite games of all time, definitely in my top 10. Yet weirdly I never played Bombastic on PS2.



Hmm, pie.

Final Fantasy Type-0. sure the game was overpriced on PS4/Xone and sure the story got...yeah. But damn the combat and character variation was good.



Fatal Frame V. It's a decent budget title for Wii U that is a modern take on classic survival horror and reviewers hated the game because of it. It used the gamepad excellently (I played the whole game with the gamepad functionality ON) but if you didn't want to use it you could turn it off. great story told from the perspective of three people who all are being called to this mountain notorious for the suicides of anyone who enters. It's interesting how it really effectively uses the mountain itself, these old houses from the past, your current house and roads and this air tram and just lots of different locals from different eras.

So what did it get dinged for? Well you gotta walk through the same areas a lot. For a survival horror game though, are you telling me you didn't have to walk through the same areas over and over again in Resident Evil? Even the new one Biohazard has you going and back tracking quite often, however in both RE and in this game you never simply ONLY retread your old path. You are always exploring a new area of the mountain, going deeper into a mansion, ect.

Also, the control of your character. I will admit it is slow, even running is slow in this game, but yet again do you think it was easy navigating the original Silent Hill with all it's changing camera angles? or when the camera angle completely changes from room to room in RE or when you go up stairs? It's in fact way easier to control your character in FFV than either of those games were.

You add in three different cameras to upgrade, a new mechanic (outside of FFIV which the US never got) where you can see how other victims on the mountain died, incredibly interesting lore... I don't know. An amazing atmospheric game we got around Halloween that really just set it off.
