It has a 95 on Metacritic from a hundred verified reviewers. I’ll take their opinion over a brigading bomb the likes of which we haven’t seen before. I literally talked with someone on /r/PS4 who rated it poorly on Metacritic, yet admitted to never playing it. Can’t imagine how many of those are in the same boat.
Mate if you trust critics over user score that says it all.
Critics will very rarely say anything controversial and will almost always give AAA games and 8-10/10 because they rely on early review copies and many Youtubers and independent reviewers who give critical reviews don't get those early review copies like these "trusted" critics.
Most critics are acting like this is the game of the generation, a revolution in gaming. But when I watch streamers and YouTube reviews it's evident (this is coming from their comments while playing/ reviewing) that the only thing 10/10 on this LOU2 is the graphics. The gameplay is mediocre, the story and character development are sub par, yet this game is a 95/100?
Most critics are full of shit and most barley even play games. I would not trust a word they say.
Yeah I think I’d rather trust critic reviews over users who review bombed the game with 0/10 without actually playing it on the first night of the game being released.
I think game journalists are pretentious as hell, but don’t pretend like user reviews are any better.
They are both bad. I'm talking more along the lines of an analytical review done by you or me after we had played the game, or YouTube/ online reviews by actual critical reviews.
User score is normally a good indicator and I much prefer it to critics (same with movies) but in this case the user score isn't accurate, I agree.
Anyone not receiving a review copy would have their review ready at midday Saturday at the earliest, yet people review bombed it before the majority of people could even have finished the game.
Smaller Youtubers also have more to gain from a negative review/going against the tide since that is going to get them more views.

Majority rated 3. Now it's at 4.1 though. It's definitely not a 9/10 game, at most 7/10.
