A lot of people seem really invested on an arbitrary score for a game they already know they like. Does that one slightly lower review score somehow affect your enjoyment of the game? Or change anything about it in general?

It's like one of user reviews which stated "it looks better on emulation on my steam deck, this one runs like crap and cannot maintain 30fps" and gave it a 0.

It is annoying to see such comments based on deliberate false stuff just to be more visible.

When I was in high school, my Latin teacher decided that we all needed to do a presentation, and the students would give grades. And there was one guy I didn't like, barely paid any attention on the nonsense he was saying. And then I gave him a bad review. And the teacher decided to not count my review. And she was right.

Same situation here.

The difference is, whether you agree with Sterling or not, is that they are a professional critic who covers video games for a living. You don't have to agree with the review or the score, but you also can't disregard it because of that. Looking at the review itself and the conclusion, I think this line from the review matches the score Sterling gave the game quite well: Metroid Prime Remastered is a faithful beat-for-beat recreation of the GameCube classic with a comprehensively polished visual makeover. It remains a solid adventure shooter, even if its straightforward approach to player progress is a little unexciting these days.

Also, which part of the review is based on deliberate false stuff? I haven't played the game myself, so maybe there is, but I took a look at the review and couldn't find anything that stood out as false.
