That why smart and informed consumers would actually read their reviews. Your only trying to discredit their opinion because people get emotionally attached to what they want the score should be. People writing these reviews are professional that have a reputation to maintain, they want go out f their way to make one bad review for click bait unless there where actually something they dint like with the game. They were probably over critical but they have a right to their opinion. Also, their two reviews have minor negative impact on ththe score once you get over 50 reviews. Once you played the game and read the reviews and a few other reviews by the reviewer ... then we can call in their questionable 40s review.

You must be living in a bubble to say reviewers are professionals that don't give scores for click bait....

I'll give one example... girl reviewed GT5 for a 4/10 with the justification that simulators are pointless and racing in circles is meaningless.

Reviews won’t get a good reputation & remain in the industry long if they don’t have a level of professionalism, they will get called out or discredited by their peers and readers. Everything they write is available for all to see & will affect their portfolio. They need a fan base to remain relevant and that fan base will held them accountable. 

Metacritic only have approved reviewers so they have a standard to maintain.

As for your example who was the reviewer and where is she now? Probably not writing reviews.
