I went and made this nice collage of games that scored the highly praised 94+%. Not only loved by critics, but from users aswell. Not something to argue i think. I beleieve we all (DESPITE our gaming prefernces) love these games, or believe that they worth all the praise they got:

As you can see, critic scores are somewhat familiar with the scores that gamers gave, 4,5 points max diference.

And then we have the critically aclaimed Zelda BotW that ravaged critic scores with a whopping 97% so far. But what about the users?

As you can see, we are a bit torn between critics and gamers. a whopping 21% differnce surely is not something to go by. Sure 7.6 is still great (hence 7/10 from sterling), but to go up to 97%. And for a zelda game when previous entries where so close in scores? Too much to go by... 

Any reviews in the first week should be disconsidered, really. User reviews on metacritic are worthless, as they don't verify purchase. The 4.7 stars from 425 verified customers on Amazon, by the way. Of the three 1-star reviews, 1 complained about delivery time and another about the ERSB rating (teen), too violent...

 

People that bought the game are generally satisfied.
