I hate Metacritic with a passion, I wish people would stop citing it as some sort of reliable source when it comes to judging games and instead borrow the game from a friend, play a demo if available, rent it, watch some gameplay videos or READ a review from a publication you generally trust instead of just looking up a meaningless average. 

All Metacritic does is round up a bunch of reviews of which most are from very poorly written amateur publications and reduces all the praise/critiques/info into a meaningless weighted average out of 100% not informing anyone of anything about the game at all. People who use Metascores to claim one game better than another should be shot in the head in front of their families, people who check out Metascores to get an idea of how good a game is are mindless sheep who are incapable of reading reviews and thus have to resort to colour coded weighted averages to tell them if something is really shit, shit, ok, good or excellent. 

Sorcery is getting decent/good reviews, I haven't read many because I'm not really interested in the game but saying it 'doesn't look good' because of a 70 on Metacritic is absurd, since when was a 7/10 not good? And if you're someone who is interested in the game READ the reviews to find out what critics liked/disliked and then ask yourselves if the positives outweigh the negatives and whether the particular critics dislikes/nitpicks would actually bother you.
