I doubt reviews will have a significant effect on sales; very few people will actually decide not to buy a game just cos it scored an 80s rather than a 90s on Metacritic, internet enthusiasts greatly overestimate the importance of review scores, especially when they're not even that bad.

The bigger challenge for Metroid is that the franchise just isn't that mainstream, with even the highest selling entry only selling around 3m. 

Reviews matter a lot for niche series that sells to enthusiasts, which is the kind of game Metroid is. How do you think games like Clair Obscure sold so much? If it was a 81 scored game it would sell 500k at best 

Clair Obscur was a new IP without an existing base, and even then if the game was just as good, then word of mouth would carry it.

Very few Metroid fans are going to let a score in the 80s stop them buying a game they've waited 18 years for.
