On the basis that it's Meta score is the highest for the year, and the highest equal for the past 5 years, yet The Last of Us won by far the most GOTY's that suggests GTA V was definitely overrated somewhat by the critics.
Of course that's more of a criticism of the reviewing system. 10s are handed out like candy so there's no predictive value with most reviewers because they give about 10 games per year a perfect score.
Metacritic should de-register reviewers who hand out more than three 10's per year.
