So Xenoblade X has an 84 on metacritix because there is too much to do and the world is too big?

It's not a crime.Ithink he is saying that if it is a good  game rate it at so. Don't seriously downgrade a game for minor problems because every game has minor problems. Look at MGS 5 had similar minor statements but still got in the 90's. Its like they do not want to give Nintendo another good score out of spite. Because that is what most gaming journalism is 

Exactly.  A 95 should be average.  Then, if there are minor faults, they can drop it down to a 92 or 93.  Anything in the 80s is obviously spite, as it represents a below average game.  An 84 means basically unplayable.
