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.

Well if I only have time to play a game a month, I'm not gonna play a 6/10 game. I'm not saying to blindly trust metacritic but when you seldom play games you need to filter them aggressively somehow.
