The average as 5 is totally wrong as you don't have many games below 5 or a 5 game being considered average. A 5 is considered very very bad, while for forum goers 8 is more what is considered average to good, 7 is on the bad part as far as review go... besides that the user review is even lower.

Considering the game had 35 of its 51 reviews as mixed shows the game isn't on the good part of the spectrum as far as metacritic goes.

No, that's false. 8 is not considered average. 8 is good. 7 is considered average. People thought Kirby was good enough at 74. And now all the sudden metacritic user reviews are a valid metric to see how good a game is?

the claim that 8 is considered average is pure bullshit that you made up just to downplay a game..

Farcry 5, a way out, and other recent "80" games are considered good to great.

Kirby being good or not (or any other game) have nothing to do with metacritics, but for the life of VGC sub 80 points have been scuffed at. Metacritic won't ever be a good measure, for me it is at most usable when I can't really do a proper investigation before buying a game I don't know anything about and if metacritic is too low I'll avoid, and that is it.

Seems like you haven't read CGI warning.

Farcry on this very site is being questioned about the possible impact on sales because of bad reception.
