A review is a review. It's not a competition. I know some companies used to (and maybe still do) base their employee bonus on Metacritic scores but that ain't got nothing to do with me.
All I care about is if a game is worth buying based on my particular tastes. The final score doesn't mean a thing to me. All I care about is the details. I think we gamers place too much emphasis on the final score rather than the content of the review. Do I care if Madden 2019 got a 99/100? Not at all because that's not my type of game. Do I care if WWE 2K19 got a 69/100? I'd still buy it but the reason why it scored so low is something I'd be concerned about.
