Metacritic > The opinion of one average person when talking about the "best" of anything
Not per se, Metacritic is an average of mostly US/UK press ratings. We also know gaming websites are infested by fanboys and also mainstream US press is often very unprofessional, inaccurate and incomplete.
The opinion of a single professional opinion may be more accurate than an average like that. IMO it merely provides a rough indication of a game being pretty good or not if you like the gerne. IMO there are too many factors involved for going into this any deeper than that.
