Could the same not be said for critic reviews? Do they even review a game below a 7/10 these days unless it’s like irredeemably bad? Review publishers don’t want to lose out on early copies and basically hand out 8’s and above like candy
I totally agree that there are a lot of garbage user reviews. Still doesn’t change the fact that Starfield has mixed reviews. There are Bethesda games that are positively rated. Cyberpunk had a much bigger hate campaign against it and still has very positive reviews.
There’s a reason the reviews for Starfield are the way they are now
You should look at the some of the games that have overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam. They are the ones that aren’t highly mediocre or bad.
Steam has a solid review system and steam tags reviews as refunded for people who refunded the game. Also shows their playtime. And people can vote and award reviews.
Xbox, however, does have a horribly broken joke of a review system.
2nd best game of this generation and it didn’t even crack a nomination for GOTY? Lmao. There’s debate over whether this was even the best xbox game this year
You are allowed to like it. But it’s a janky disjointed mess running on dated systems not able to handle the vision they had for the game. It’s an objectively mediocre game.
I don’t hate the game. I’m glad people are having fun. I’m just disappointed I can’t have fun, and people keep gaslighting me into thinking it’s a great game.

User reviews aren’t worth the bandwidth you use reading them.
