I agree. I consider 85 to be the point at which I have to give extra consideration to a game that I wasn't planning to play. I consider 75 the point at which I have to reconsider whether or not I really want to play something that I was planning to pick up. That 75 to 85 window is what I consider solid, and probably won't affect whatever opinion I have otherwise formed of the game.
For example, I decided to pass on Sea of Thieves last week, based on the ~70 meta score. I was planning to play Far Cry 5, and the 81 score has not killed my excitement, nor added to it (I'll be picking it up later today). I never cared about GTA games, but the high score convinced me to play it.
