I honestly kind of agree with this. A lot of people see metacritic/opencritic scores and take it at face value. I a lot of people that would just instantly write off a game if it isn't higher than 80/100.

I ignore game reviews and buy based off watching the trailer and reading the steam reviews. If I don't like the game in 2 hours I'll refund it.
