Median review score at present is 70. That suggests the very low scores (especially that 2/10 outlier) is having an undue influence on the meta score. A 70 median is pretty good all things considered. I think that means I can take the risk and buy this game, not at full price, but not at bargain bin price either.

(95+86+85+82+81+81+(7*80)+79+(3*78)+(3*75)+(8*70)+69+65+65+(9*60)+55+55+(4*50)+45+(3*40)+20)/51=66,71

That's the arithmetic mean, not the median. For your edification:

1. To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. The middle number is 15, so the median is 15. (If there are two middle numbers, you average them.)

In that sequence the arithmetic mean is 16.3.

And it's interesting to note that the weighted mean is 65, which means the reviewers that gave gave low reviews carry more weight with metacritic than the reviewers that gave good reviews.
