Me personally I think once you get below a 60 is when a game is considered bad. What do you think higher or lower than mine?

Considering how inflated are scores in video games, 70.



Anything below a 69 with rare exceptions



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Generally, lower than 54-52 is already troubling. Though there are exceptions.



You guys are funny voting for anything below a 90.

I see 60-70 as games to play, but be careful, under a 60 o.O

Also it depends on franchise

Ex: If LoZ (main game not spinoff) gets an 80-85 then it might not be as good considering every LoZ averages 89-93, but if a Sonic game averages out to be an 80-85 OMG, it must be good

I wouldn't bother myself with anything below 80. But Knack, the Mario-Killer, is an exception.


Knack has nothing on Mario.... NOTHING

Mario has nothing to do against Knack.... NOTHING

Fixed



Game reviews have been inflated for years so I pretty much ignore them except for a point of reference, game reviews are a joke.



Honestly, I think once the metascore looks yellow, I have to do more looking into the game than if it weren't. I would look into a game regardless of its metascore, but if enough people are rating it lower, it warrants me making sure I want to purchase the game. Of course, in the end exactly how much the metascore is doesn't reflect much on how much I enjoy the title. Plenty of 90+ games I did not enjoy as much as 70-80 games.
