Metacritic scores in general are a joke.
I think the user ratings are probably a better indicator of game quality on many games than the actual MC score, like older titles and more obscure ones.... Similarly titles on a Nintendo system (ignoring early Wii titles as there was quite a bit of HD vs. Wii crap)
High profile games and ones that are major talking points are probably more of a joke than the MC score.... the 'reviewer' you picked out does have a point, but blanket 0 score reviews are not an answer.
