Remember, reviews don't matter.

GOTG is upon us. 

Tagging, I'm guessing high 70s

Let's see how Flappy Mario does.

Tiny Wings HD got 92.

When it comes to mobile games anything can be a critical success.

Meanwhile Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy got a 78. It literally is an ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN market.

Didn't realize mobile games were on metacritic 

I don't think reviews really matter as much for smartphone apps. I doubt Pokemon GO was reviewed very highly as it was very bare bones, but people ate that up like crazy. You can't really review smartphone games the same way you review console/dedicated portable games. 

Lol of course those weren't compared directly to Mario games as I imagine this one will. The comparison likely limits the rating imo

It will probably still do well, but I imagine there will be at least a sentence or two negatively comparing it to full Mario games in every review.

It'll be like, upper 80's if they're reviewing it "as a phone game."

Funny thing is, 95% of buyers don't even know about Metacritic
