Aren't reviews a bit crazy meaning....

If game "A" is reviewd by 1/2 and 3 and tehy all gave a 9 the score will be = 9

but if game "B" is rewied by the same 1/2/3 but also 4 and 5 and 1/2/3 gave a 10 but 4 and 5 a 7 this game will have a score of 8.8 when to be fair it shoudl be 10 compared to game "A".


Outliers can ruin Metacritic lol, especially those that are intentionally outside the norm to be seen and get clicks.

It's still reliable as a ballpark judgement of games, though.
