It does actually, critics and consumers disagree frequently, because critics are typically a certain kind of person that tend to have certain preferences and biases while the total audience is a much more heterogenous group with more diverse preferences.

They don't disagree all that much. At least is not what the data shows when comparing critics scores like Metacritic and public scores like imdb. There's research about actually (and I studied that myself before)

I must confess I've never studied gaming score correlation, I can take a look and compare Meta/Open with backloggd eventually, but I don't think it would be representative yet since backloggd is still growing  

Sales/Box office and reviews are different things of course. As stated is very much common to consume things you actually thing are bad, I have watch so many bad movies only to have some fun going out with family or friends, movies that I would have still scored poorly even after investing my money and time on it 

It's more that every person is different and has their own preferences/biases/etc, so if you take a group such as critics that all have the same profession and mostly similar backgrounds as gaming journalists/enthusiasts, you won't necessarily get the same consensus as the broader audience. Often you will, as certain traits and tropes are widely popular/unpopular, but critics aren't some mighty arbiter of universal truth, they're still just people.
