Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

Metacritic's user rating system is just shit. You see the game rated higher than deserved and you can either

  • give it an honest rating resulting in the total score dropping by 0.01
  • give it a zero rating and have the score drop by 0.1

Of course most people chose to rate it in a way that has more impact on the total score, so it's no wonder we see 0/10 and 10/10 more than anything else.

This phenomenon will be even more exaggerated if critics ratings are undeservedly high, as is the case with Starfield.
