I gave up on reviews a decade ago when several games I loved got low scores. One of my favorite games of all time received a 4/10 from the magazine I read at the time.

Which one? :) This reminded me of a review in a Croatian games magazine (which doesn't exist anymore, but used to be huge), where a reviewer gave StarCraft (the original) a 60/100 score. The shitstorm this caused was absolutely huge, and was the first time I came across something like this happening. Magazine buyers wanted his head on a platter, and they kind of got it in the end.

This game! 

Best JRPG battle system ever.  Review was by a now dufunct US magazine called "GamePro".

Holy shit yes! I love that game, still have it! The combat system is simply fantastic! The real-time/turn-based blend is perfect and watching your characters execute their attacks together is pure fun! If you time things right and chain things together, your skills actually matter somewhat as well, instead of the modern "press X to win" or, hell; "press X to Jason"...
