I think you'll be surprised with it, but let's see.
OT, I think that Rodea and Devil's Third have a deserved score. Very bland and mediocre, so a 40+ seems fitting. I'd rate FFV a little more, maybe a 70 or so, but it's not a remarkable difference. I'm more "concerned" about Nintendo's first party games. I don't think bias is the answer, it's just that gaming is changing a lot and the more classic Nintendo games are being given low scores imo. Take for instance these games, I'll put
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze ---> 83 (For me, it's one of the best 2D platformers ever)
Yoshi's Woolly World ---> 78 (Not a bad score, but I honestly feel this should be 85+)
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse ---> 73 (Again, this game for me is 80+)
New Super Mario Bros. U ---> 84 (I know this won't be popular even with Nintendo fans, but this game is in DK levels. Funny thing, Metacritic score agrees in this with me, but rating the games lower than I think they deserve)
I know I don't have the universal truth, this is all my opinion. But I'm sure that my opinion of Nintendo games has never been so different compared to professional reviewers. I'd add 10 points, maybe, to each of this reviews. I wouldn't say bias, I'd say it's a consequence of modern gaming and more classic experiences are being scored lower than they actually deserve imo.
